For our chemical conscious babes.. the chicks who like to go au natural in more ways than one ;)
We came across this intriguing post on the Free People Blog!
SPF Oil we can make at home... chemical free... from everyday foods we loovee!
Now at days it feels like we have allergies to everything out there. Sure it's easier to buy a bottle of Banana Boat & slather on, but who knows whats in the lotion/oil/spray, who its been tested on & how long it's been sitting there?!
With just a little effort & time try this natural alternative, your skin will be thanking you & you'll feel pretty badass for making your own spf oil!
Thanks Free People xx
Ingredients
1/4 cup Shea Butter (contains a SPF of about 6)
1/4 cup Coconut Oil (contains a SPF of about 10)
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
1 tbsp Almond Oil
1 tbsp Jojoba oil
30 drops Carrot Seed Oil
5 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (this is to add in an aromatic scent – coconut, vanilla, or lavender essential oil would also work nicely!)
2 tbsp Zinc Oxide Powder – Adding in the Zinc Oxide Powder will automatically make this recipe contain an SPF of 30, along with the other amounts of SPF from the oils (most health food stores should have this in stock!)*
*Be sure to wear gloves when you are handling Zinc Oxide Powder!
