Sunscreen Options

I’m making a home made Solban at the moment. Is there anything I can add to it to offset the drying effects of the 20% alcohol content? Would be perfect if I could add some kind of moisturising agent to balance it out. Thanks!

The alcohol is there for preservation. You could drop it and use a natural, Ecocert approved preservative instead. I use Geogard ECT, recommended usage rate is just 0.6%. Without the alcohol, Solban would be very moisturising, niacinamide is wonderful for skin care.

Found an interesting recipe for sunscreen from

Keith Littlewood​

Ingredients are.
—
56 grams coconut oil.
56 grams of Shea butter.
28 grams beeswax.
24 milligrams of Progest E.
2 Tablespoons of zinc oxide powder.
—
Essentially melt the coconut oil, bees wax, and Shea. Mix in the powdered zinc and finally add the Progest e while it’s cooling and air in well. Transfer to a glass jar and you have an SPF of about 30.

Here's an image of the on his IG page of the ingredients used:

Looks very interesting I'd love to give it a try.
