How to Make Organic Sunscreen at Home
- 1). Put the avocado butter, coconut carrier oil, distilled water and borax into a glass bowl. Stir it to disperse the powdered borax. All of these materials are natural and can be obtained at a craft or hobby supply shop. Avocado butter possesses natural sun-protection agents, along with vitamins A, E and D.
- 2). Stir the aloe gel into the bowl and then microwave it for two minutes. This heats the contents together into a smooth liquid state, blending it further.
- 3). Microwave a separate bowl of beeswax pastilles for three minutes.
- 4). Insert the beaters of the hand mixer into the bowl of hot water and oil, turning it to a low speed. Begin stirring the water and oil, which will emulsify because of the borax.
- 5). Drizzle the bowl of melted wax slowly into the turning oil and water. It will instantly turn the contents of the bowl into a frothy, thin white mixture.
- 6). Mix the emulsion on high for five minutes. This may seem lengthy, but it is necessary to fully blend the materials and thicken them it into a smooth lotion. Pour the warm lotion into the plastic bottle. Leave it uncovered until the lotion cools to room temperature.
