How to Make Sunscreen

If the Apocalypse hits and you suddenly transform into the ‘elf an safty’ version of MacGyver then you WILL know…

If the Mad Max version of the Apocalypse hits, its nothing but sun, sun and sand, you will need to know…

If the ‘absolutely everything is covered in reflective white snow’ version of the Apocalypse hits then you will need to know...

If you are a nice shade of nerd white, then this is something that you need to know…

 

1. Heat the cup of olive oil over a low flame.

2. Add 1 ounce of beeswax, broken into pieces if possible (so that it melts faster).

3. Stir constantly until the beeswax is completely melted in the hot oil.

4. Put on a pair of gloves and a face mask. This is to protect you from direct contact with the zinc oxide powder. Add one to two tablespoons of USP grade zinc oxide powder. Add a little at a time, continuing to stir constantly. Ensure that it is blended in well.

5. Remove the mixture from the stove. Pour it into a glass or ceramic pot that can be covered.
If pouring into a narrow neck, use a pastry bag to squeeze the sunscreen through.

6. Allow to cool to room temperature before use. Keep stored in a cool, dry environment. Label and date it.
