Notes
You can use any carrier oil. I recommend using one that is naturally high in spf such as raspberry seed, pomegranate, wheat germ, or avocado.
Essential oils are optional. Carrot seed, & myrrh have natural spf. Frankincense and lavender oil are great for skin.
I do not know the SPF for this recipe as it all depends on the carrier oils you choose to use.
