Looking for a more natural alternative to store-bought sunscreen? With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own DIY sunscreen at home! By using nourishing elements like shea butter, coconut oil, and non-nano zinc oxide, you create a formula that not only helps protect your skin from the sun but also moisturizes and soothes.
Zinc oxide is the key ingredient that provides broad-spectrum UV protection. Just be sure to use non-nano zinc oxide so it sits on the skin’s surface and reflects UV rays, rather than being absorbed. Keep in mind that while DIY sunscreen can offer some protection (often estimated around SPF 20–35 depending on the zinc concentration), it's not a substitute for lab-tested, FDA-approved formulas—so use caution during extended sun exposure.
Stay sun-smart, and let your skincare routine be as mindful as the rest of your wellness journey!
