Introduction
Making your own sunscreen can be as simple as mixing three ingredients together in a jar. It’s great for sensitive skin, and it’s even better if you also add some aloe vera gel or calendula oil. Here are the basic steps:
How To Make The Perfect Sunscreen Remedy
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of beeswax (for the SPF)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (for the SPF and moisturizing properties)
- ½ cup of aloe vera gel (for soothing skin and protecting against UV rays)
How to make:
- Melt the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler on low heat until they are completely liquid. If you don’t have a double boiler, place a glass bowl over simmering water in your regular pot; this should do the trick! Make sure not to let it get too hot or else it will burn your mixture! Let cool for about 5 minutes so that it’s easier to apply with your fingers later on. 2. Mix together all ingredients until well combined 3 . Apply liberally onto exposed areas before going outside into the sun
The basis of this sunscreen is coconut oil. Coconut oil contains saturated fatty acids called lauric acid, capric acid, and caprylic acid. These help to kill harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It also keeps the skin moisturized and protects the skin from premature aging.

Vitamin A and Vitamin E are two of the most important antioxidants that help to reduce free radical damage in the body. Antioxidants protect against cell damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) by preventing these ROS from being formed in the first place or neutralizing them before they can cause damage. The body produces its own antioxidants, but it needs dietary sources as well.
