A Natural Sunscreen

This very easy and simple to make, natural sun screen will protect your skin from sunburn without applying any harmful chemicals! All natural ingredients not only protect your skin but nourish and moisturise too. The recipe is in the box below.
This is just one of the many natural recipes in the Skin & Skincare Module of the "Introduction to Herbal Medicine" course. www.danusirish...
It will soon be June and the Wise Woman Way training will be moving towards the Summer Solstice on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. This is when we celebrate mid summer and meet with the Goddess Áine . This is a transpersonal, healing course using craft work, working with plants and plant medicine and calling on ancient shamanic and druidic techniques.

The INGREDIENTS for the sunscreen are:
4oz or half a cup of Organic Coconut Oil
4oz or half a cup of Organic Shea Butter
2oz Beeswax (or Jojoba Wax)
2oz infused oil - I used St. John's Wort Oil and Calendula Oil that I made
20-30 drops of Organic Carrot Seed Essential Oil
10 drops of Organic Lavender Essential Oil
10 drops of Organic Rose Oil
1 Vitamin E Capsule
DIRECTIONS:-
Melt the Coconut Oil and Shea Butter over a very gentle heat with the beeswax, St. John's Wort Oil and Calendula Oil. Add Carrot Seed Oil and let it cool. Perhaps put it in the fridge for a few minutes until it begins to harden. Whisk well to make a fluffy lotion and add the other essential oils and Vitamin E. Whisk/whip again and put into clean jars. This amount filled three 60ml jars.
It glides on and feels luxurious and hopefully will tempt some good weather for us!

[@JennTrumbo]

Thank you for this! I am an Esthetician and would never recommend chemical sunscreen, for the reasons you gave: it is designed to be absorbed by the skin, and absorb the sun’s rays- in the skin. I find it horrifying not to mention the thought of these chemicals going into the coral beds and water ways. I can’t wait to try this recipe! Just a note on the coconut oil that when applied to the face it can be highly comedogenic- if you suffer from acne, it can clog your pores. I might try substituting with jojoba or raspberry seed oil (raspberry has a SPF of 26 💖) I love all of your videos, thank you for everything you share!

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden All is well here. I practically live outside these days, working in the gardens, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the abundance of life all around. When I bought this little cottage 22 years ago, I asked "them" what they wanted here, it was a blank slate. I drew the map I saw in my mind and promptly misplaced it. Then I realized I needed to take one step at a time and tune-in at each stage, trust and see what developed. 3 years later I found the map and sure enough I'd been guided to create what was drawn there. It's a sanctuary for all kinds of critters and people who need healing peace. What "they" continue to do amazes me, so much beauty! Blessings!!!

[@fionnualamurphy125]

I'm glad you addressed this issue Terri. I've been making my own skincare products and sun protection for a good few years. I mostly don't measure anything. I use coconut oil, shea butter but this year I've begun using up the oils I've infused over the Spring. At the moment I've added a nettle olive oil. I also have a calendula one ready and a comfrey. It doesn't really matter which one. I spend most of the year in southern Spain. I go to the beach for a few hours every afternoon. I don't burn as my skin is accustomed to the sun. I have a parasol for the hottest part of the day. For your followers I would add that if you have sensitive areas (for me it's around the eyes and the chest), after I've put on my oils I put on some Zinc Oxide (very cheap, buy a kilo). I just put it on any brown spots and around the eyes. That gives a total sun block. You could also make a mix with the zinc, but it will be very white. Best to cover up if you're burning. I also knew that about the sunglasses. Andreas Moritz (RIP) has a video on KZbin and other tips about sunbathing. I also like to let the seawater dry on my skin and soak in and seawater is fantastic for my hair (I don't shampoo it). So I hope this helps your listeners. Remember not to wear sunglasses except for driving, instead were a sun visor as I do

[@jennifersmith3709]

Thank you so much for sharing with us!! From very sunny and hot Tennessee 🌞💛

Watching your videos is the best part of the week! Thank you. Cold sounds wonderful. It was 90 degrees Farenheit (32 Celsius) here today in balmy subtropical Georgia (U.S.A.) with 97% humidity. We will always have problems when we are out of balance with nature. In the U.S., for example, many people are the descendents of Northern European immigrants, but the U.S. is much further south. Where we live in Georgia, for example, and it is as far south as North African. And the sun and heat are every bit as intense. No wonder people are vulnerable sun damage. There is mounting evidence that so many of the factory made/corporate marketed "remedies" do more harm than good with dangerous chemicals. Natural is always best. Thank you for another wonderful and helpful video. Peace be with you friend. 🍀🥀🌻🌙☀

I remember the Australian rhyme - from 11 to 3 stay under a tree. Not sit and roast - tourists aren't called lobsters for nothing! I'm just weathered from being outside all year round - I've never been so brown before and my lily white skin hasn't burnt either - a lot of it down to wind because the sun hasn't been round much. If I feel it getting hot, I go inside or under cover. As far as the hottest, record breaking spring - I haven't noticed it. It was hotter 34 years ago - I was on maternity leave and it was a hot year from March - methinks they are telling porky pies.

Good to have this recipe. My dog, as a very young dog, made contact with Asian hogweed with her nose. Last year I had to put sunscreen on her nose all summer because of sun sensitivity from this incident. It worked although the dog hated it. I later discovered that even though it was "organic" it had chemicals in it which are suspected to be endocrine disrupters. So far this year she's not reacting as much; but if she does, I will have another option.

Lovely interesting video. I have never used commercial sunscreen & recently stopped using sunglasses except while driving. Let’s enjoy the sun safely for the short time we have it here in Scotland. Thanks Terrri🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I agree. Be sensible and make the most of it xx

[@SallyKetly]

Loved video as always. Is there anything you could put in as an insect repellant? I react really badly to insect bites, so this would be helpful. Thank you xxx

[@lindabrown293]

You could add a few drops of citronella oil as an insect repellent

[@kalikal298]

Lavender is an insect/mosquito repellant

[@Juniper-d5b]

Peppermint is great, rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus.. All repellent, caution with sensitive skin.. Water/oil mix in a spray bottle 🙏

[@madelinelenahan5278]

Lemon balm!

[@karenessauthor]

Vicks helps, so I guess the basic ingredients of that...menthol and eucalyptus oils....?

Just a little note to say that I made the sunscreen, and I love it! I'm making more to tuck into Christmas baskets. Here in Florida, we need it year round. Thank you again. 💐

Very interesting about the sunglasses!!! 😎. I’m from Hawaii. When I was younger we didn’t have proper sunscreen protection. When we did wear it most of the time the sunscreen came off in the ocean while we were swimming and playing in the waves. I didn’t wear sunglasses. I never developed anything dangerous knock on wood! I wonder if it was because of the lack of sunglasses?

[@lisanetgark415]

Wow! We used coconut oil!!!

Your dog is happy and quite cute!

Who knows? Possibly but there are so many variables and causes.....

What about aloe vera and coconut oil? I'm in QLD, Australia, the sun is harsh here. Aloe vera can be applied first, let it dry, then coconut oil. Also, if your diet is acidic, from eating too much sugar, alcohol, coffee etc, you will get burnt easier.

This is one I’ve got to make. Gotta plant some more calendula next year. Maybe I’ll put some heal all in it too. Throw in some mullein and a touch of comfrey.

I laughed when you spelled W A L K...😂😂 I have to do the same or the pups will get excited 😊 ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

They know a few other words too, rascals!! 😂

[@diand1934]

Thank you for the recipe and useful information! I have a few questions: Is there an alternative for coconut oil? Because it doesn't agree with my skin that is prone to acne. And I thought that using st Johnswort in any way would make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, is that true? Your videos are lovely and I look forward to them every Sunday. 🌿

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You can use Raspberry seed oil if you can't use Coconut oil (thanks for reminder from comment above). Some people say that about SJW but I suspect that is the synthetic medical version. Herbal SJW heals burns so is not going to lead to sunburn xx

All things in moderation

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Yep!

🦋👋Hello Terri, I just made this today but I went by the recipe and I put 2 oz of St. John’s & 2 oz of the Cal oil… I should have rewatched the video. But it still turned out good and it feels great on the skin and isn’t greasy. Thank you

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Wonderful!
