Soothing Sunshield Cream

Shield your skin with this luxurious body oil recipe.

This is a perfect recipe to use in combination with an all-natural sunscreen, to further protect the skin from the effects of sun exposure!

Ingredients

1 drop of Lavender Oil

1 drop of Myrrh Oil

1 tbsp of Coconut Oil

1 tbsp of Jojoba Oil

1 tbsp of Pomegranate Seed Oil

1 tbsp of Shea Butter

6 pellets of Beeswax Pellets

Supplies

4 small PET jars (1/2 fl-oz)

Directions

STEP 1

Melt the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax over low heat in a double boiler.

STEP 2

Once melted, add the pomegranate seed oil and jojoba oil. At this point, you can use an electric hand mixer if you want more of a whipped cream texture!

STEP 3

Apply to areas of the skin that could be exposed to sunlight.

Safety and dilution

This blend was created at less than a 1% dilution. While shea butter and pomegranate oil both contain natural sunscreen protection, no one really knows to what extent! We highly recommend using this recipe in combination with an organic sunscreen product if spending longer amounts of time in direct sunlight.

Kid safety: Safe for kids 5 and over.

Shelf Life

The ingredient with the shortest shelf life remaining becomes the shelf life of the entire blend.
