Easy Sunscreen Spray DIY Recipe with Zinc
Easy DIY recipe for Homemade Sunscreen Spray using non-nano zinc oxide, carrot seed oil, raspberry seed oil, aloe vera, and essential oils. We used this for over 2 hours in the afternoon sun and no one got burned!
Amount Made :4 ounces
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup pure aloe vera gel
- 2 tablespoons carrot seed oil
- 2 tablespoons red raspberry seed oil
- 10 drops essential oil myrrh, lavender, or peppermint
- 2 tablespoons non-nano zinc oxide
- Spray bottle
Instructions
- Add the avocado oil, carrot seed oil, and red raspberry seed oil all together.
- If you are using essential oils, add that in and stir to combine.
- Next, add in the non-nano zinc oxide and whisk until all combined.
- Finally, add in the aloe vera gel. Mix until it is all small clumps.
- Add to your spray bottle and shake until it is fully mixed in.
Notes
- Essential oils are optional! Myrrh has natural spf. Lavender and peppermint are also great choices. Do not use a citrus oil because those cause photosensitivity (i.e. your skin will be quick to sunburn).
- This should last for a few months. If you want to preserve it longer, add a preservative.
- You can also use an infused oil. I used lavender infused avocado oil.
- Fractionated coconut oil also works in replace of avocado oil.
