Homemade Coconut Oil Sunscreen Recipe With Natural Ingredients

In summer, everyone tries to minimise their outdoor activities in the scorching heat. Whenever it becomes necessary to step out, we put on as much sunscreen as possible to prevent tanning and dull skin. It is essential to find a sunscreen with the right SPF that can effectively protect the skin from sun damage.

DIY Coconut Oil Sunscreen Recipe

Most people are on the hunt to find a sunscreen that contains minimal to no chemicals and preservatives to protect the skin. But with no luck, they came up with a few expensive products. So, we have got a new DIY coconut oil sunscreen recipe you can easily make at home at an affordable price. Your skin will definitely fall in love with this organic formula.

Can Coconut Oil Be Used As Sunscreen?

Coconut oil cannot be used as a sunscreen alone, but if it is mixed with other ingredients such as almond oil, raspberry seed oil, zinc oxide, and essential oils, then yes, coconut oil can be used as a sunscreen.

Zinc oxide protects the skin from UVB and UVA rays. Raspberry seed oil has an SPF of 25, and coconut oil has an SPF of around 4 to 5. Combine all these ingredients to create an effective and powerful sunscreen to protect the skin from free radicals. 

How To Make Coconut Oil Sunscreen

With the recipe below, you can put together a stick and spray sunscreen on it. The spray method makes it easy to apply sunscreen to a larger area, while the stick makes it accessible for the face and sensitive areas.

Recipe 2 - Coconut Oil and Raspberry Seed Oil Sunscreen 

In this recipe, we combine the power of coconut oil with raspberry seed oil. This increases the power of SPF to protect the skin from harsh sun rays. 

Ingredients

Supplies

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Microwave
  • Lotion dispenser

Directions

Homemade organic sunscreen doesn’t cause irritation or redness to the skin. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test to make sure you are not sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients used.
