Preparation

Step 1

A sunscreen, a bug repellent, deodorant, moisturizer. You can either make a cube and keep it in a plastic resealable bag ( a bit messing when it’s super hot outside, but great for the outdoors such as picnics etc). Or you can just set it in a jar or a push-up tube. If you are making it for yourself and want to be less messy while it’s so hot outside, stick to the jar.

Place the oil, butter and beeswax in a double-boiler, as allow it all to melt completely.

Remove from the heat.

Stir in the zinc oxide.

Stir in the essential oils.

Pour into silicone ice cube tray (easy to remove), jar or tube, and allow it to set for 3 to 4 hours. If you set it in the fridge it will get nice and hard.
I recommend keeping the cubes in the fridge when not using. You can keep the jar and the tube out at room temperature.

This will be around an SPF 20 – remember the SPF is never an exact science (even in store-bought products), so always reapply every 2 hours.
