Check out our favorite Ayurveda-inspired homemade sunscreen 👇
Put all of the ingredients except the zinc into a large glass mason jar. Fill a medium saucepan with a few inches of water and place that on medium heat. Loosely fit the lid on the jar and place that in the water.
Let all those ingredients melt together completely, shaking or stirring to get it all blended.
Once everything is melted, take it off the heat, add in the zinc, secure the lid, shake it up and stir it well. Then pour it into whatever container you plan on keeping the sunscreen in and let it cool.
This sunscreen has around 35 to 40 SPF naturally!
And one more thing - if you still love conventional sunscreen and want to keep using it, just avoid any sunscreen that has oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is found in about 40% of sunscreens and it’s been banned in Japan and parts of Europe because it’s been found to be a major endocrine disruptor related to infertility, hormone imbalance and low birth rates.
Remember the golden rule in Ayurveda: We don’t put anything on our skin that we would not use in our kitchen. 🥣
Enjoy your summer and take care of your skin! ✨
