Bees Wax Sunscreen

This is more waterproof than the other oils.  Instead of a whipped lotion, this creates more of an oil.  You can pour it into a deodorant container and keep in the fridge (to help prevent separation, though not necessary.  It can be taken out with you when you go).

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup beeswax
1/4 cup shea butter
10 drops myrrh essential oil
15 drops carrot seed essential oil
2 Tbsp zinc oxide (optional) You can add more myrrh instead (up to 40 drops)


DIRECTIONS:

1. Use a double broiler or place ingredients in a glass bowl or mason jar in/over water in a saucepan. 
2. Add avocado oil, coconut oil, and beeswax to container.  
3. Stir on low heat until all ingredients are melted.  
4. Remove from heat and add shea butter and essential oils. 
5. Stir until shea is melted (do not add before or heat will make shea grainy). 
6. If you are adding zinc oxide, add now and whisk until there are no clumps.  Transfer to storage container and use as you would your regular sunscreen.
