Boiling the oil for 12 to 24 hours??? Doesn’t it kills all the good stuff that are in the oil nd herbs??

[@TheFunctionalForce]

Thank you Marisa! As a herbalism student I could suggest exchanging comfrey for plantain which has many, many more properties for healing skin than comfrey which you shouldn’t use for long periods due to the toxic alkaloids. Comfrey is an AMAZING healing plant, just maybe not for every day use :)

[@midgardhomestead]

We haven’t had to put sunscreen on our kids for years now ! We make a calendula olive oil infusion that we regularly use on the kids anyway but the biggest thing for us was definitely diet! We live in Ireland and have very pale Irish skin (everyone jokes about how easy the Irish burn when they finally see the sun!) but surprisingly even with our very pale skin we don’t burn and I put it all down to diet! And when we do get sun we actually have a gradual tan no blotches of flaming red skin! This wasn’t the case when we were young and on standard diets! And when our first son was born he burnt very easily until our diets changed !

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you so much for sharing! That is so similar to our experience!

[@denysehuezo4364]

Hi! what is your diet like now?

[@midgardhomestead]

@@denysehuezo4364 we went on a nourishing traditions diet for years but realised we had a lot of issues to deal with from our diets beforehand and went on GAPS for a year (thanks Marissa! 😂) and now we’re back to our nourishing traditions diet. No processed anything, everything properly prepared, no sugar lots of fermented food and broth. And one of the biggest things is our fermented cod liver oil . That’s made a huge difference to everyone’s skin!

I want to highlight that the article you linked regarding ovarian cancer is a study showing that zinc oxide nanoparticles may actually help in treating the cancer. It doesn't specify that zinc oxide causes or correlates with incidence of ovarian cancer

[@selffreetime9980]

Hey Melissa. One tip i will tell you is that store your extra virgin olive oil in a black container and in a dark place since olive oil gets oxidised due to light especially with the white container you are using. Hope it helps 😊

[@christinaatlifestylechange6167]

up at sunrise and sunset looking at the red light helps prepare your skin also for sunbathing.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yes! Thank you for sharing!

[@azteacher26]

I was reading a study that showed that purple/ebony carrot power has a higher SPF than zinc. I've been using it in my own homemade sunscreen recipe. I also put a few tablespoons of carrot oil, buriti oil, and a few drops of lugol's iodine to increase the darkening/SPF. You might want to experiment with MCT oil instead of coconut oil if you want a more liquid consistency? I also use a stick blender to mix everything. With inspiration from you I'm going to try a batch without zinc. If I find a good ratio I will share it all out! I'm very fair skinned myself and run/exercise in the desert daily so sunscreen is essential for me and I've had some good result so far with my current blend.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you for sharing! That is so fascinating about the purple carrot powder. I'll have to keep that in mind!

[@007roxxie]

Hi, do you know if the sweet potato powder works as well? Does it tone the skin a bit purple?

[@marcelamedeiros260]

Hii, can you tell us where you got you buriti oil and the carrot powered from?? Much appreciated ❤

[@joanneroundhill1796]

Hi would you please share your recepie with me please Sounds amazing

[@azteacher26]

@@007roxxie Does it turn your skin purple? The answer is yes but when it's mixed with the brown/orange of the iodine and buriti plus the white of the tallow it's very subtle and doesn't last long. I don't use use much either. The base is just mct and tallow. I will share out a recipe in this thread when I get some time. If I forget I hope someone can remind me!

[@kendallgreenewalt5044]

This is lovely! I like to put a lid on my mason jars when infusing oils so no water content from the steam gets into the oil. It won't spoil as fast!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Great way to balance out the zinc when used is to add cacaobean powder. Its love❤

[@micuchua70]

Thank you. I love your videos. I made this infusion oil. It came out amazing. I love it. 😊

[@JustWatchMeDoThis]

The clean eating keto and carnivore community has also noticed a huge decrease in sunburns too as long as we take similar precautions you mentioned. It seems the refined oils cause our bodies to burn pretty bad. I am almost as fair as they come and even I can be in the sun now and water for a while without burning. I still don’t go too long because I did get a couple bad burns, one out on a boat all day and another exposing my tummy that had not been exposed in a couple decades.

I'm loving your channel. And I made my first-ever jar of whipped tallow balm today. I absolutely LOVE it! I have a few questions, and requests. 1) Do you have recipes for tallow hair pomade or tallow leave-in-hair-conditioner? 2) How long can tallow balm be stored? 3) Should the tallow balm be stored in the fridge or freezer or at room temp? 4) I have melasma, and only Kojic acid products seem to help. So I added kojic acid powder to my whipped tallow balm. Is that OK? Thank you so much for all the wonderful videos.

[@bszlado3703]

Would you mind to share some info regarding your concerns for the non-nano zinc, please? Thanks!

[@TheVintageFish]

I just made a batch of your non nano zinc oxide sunscreen:( I loved it but now I'm concerned. I have polymorphic light eruption and get an itchy rash in the spring every year until I'm used to the sun. I also started carnivore diet a month ago (I'm feeling awesome) but am concerned about any plants in my sun protection due to oxalates and lectins (I'm highly sensitive to lectins). I'm going to research each ingredient as far as that goes and will adjust from there. Thanks for the update on your sun protection, I love your videos!!!

[@mrazik131]

How are you dealing with oxalate dumping? i'm going trough it now...i'm not carnivore but low oxalate diet believer...all the best to you.

[@valerie441]

Thank you for this, right on time. I am finshing my last jar with zink and was gonna try next zink free and with tallow. Zink looks ugly on my face and neck, prevents oil from absorbing, too greesy, etc and I stil burn anyway. I live in high desert so no homemade sunscreen gonna work, for kayaking I have to go with Lizard brand of spf 50 if I wanna wear bikiny, but other then that I use my own now. I definitelly gonna try recepie, I have lots of herbal oil already infused. I used rasberry seed oil but probably gonna split it with carrot oil coz it is the only oil that protects me from cracking my skin around my lips and nose on the windy hot desert days when I am outing. Thank you again.

Hello Marisa! I am Christina. My account is under my husband’s name. That’s what you see Brandon. I’m asking about the zinc in your baby cream recipe. Do you have an updated recipe for the baby cream? Two or our daughters are having babies and I want to make them some baby cream for redness or rash issues. Would it work to just take the since out of that recipe? Or would you recommend something to replace the zinc? They also want to try cloth diapers to help baby skin be more protected.

I tried this substituting coconut oil for the tallow. It was so liquidy, runny in the hot sun and hard to apply. I did burn pretty bad but I was swimming and was in the sun all day on a hot day. I prob didn’t apply as much as I should. Could I add cocoa wafers and candilla wax to stiffen this up without compromising its spf?

[@sophian.nelson193]

Can I substitute rosehip oil in place of red raspberry

I've a question about using oil based skin care products. I've used nut oil base moisturizers in the past months and I started noticing rancid oil smell on all my clothes , organic cotton, polyesters, basically all clothing materials. 😢😢. I washed them a couple more times and they still smell. I'm reluctant to use any oil based products these days. Have you heard of anyone with "rancid oil on clothes" problems before? How do people solve this problem 😅

[@breezyg6722]

I have made a batch with carrot seed oil, raspberry seed oil, coconut oil, shae, beeswax, aloe. My kids seem fine but I'm burnt to a crisp. I know I was in direct sun for too long but I'm wondering how to up the SPF a little bit. .

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yes! I talk about this in the video :)

[@Kendralovesskincare]

Because the sun has damaging rays, that are far more dangerous than zinc and that cause skin cancer... Skin cancer can kill. You can get vitamin D from not only the sun at lower UV index times but also a variety of vegetables.

[@user-vn7xj2qf5h]

Do I have to store it in the fridge? I wish you could sell those herbs tho nd does beef tallow by itself has enough spf in it to protect your skin from the sun ?

[@NewmNetwork]

So does this have an spf? I’m in Australia and our sun is extremely dangerous here. We don’t have a such ozone protection as the rest of the world. I am a redhead and I am very fair, my skin is almost see through. I burn after 5 mins in the sun. How much will this protect?

[@MsLeanne68]

Sun is extremely dangerous here 🙄 and you believe the ozone BS. Just go buy your “SPF” rated chemicals from the chemist or wherever And lather yourself with it. I’ll bet you wear sunglasses too? Might want to look into that also…

[@lacysliger2701]

[@brittneyswift5186]

Do you have any idea what the SPF level of coverage might be for this?

[@Skincareslug]

Probably like 2. This is very dangerous advice.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Red raspberry seed oil is supposed to have an SPF of between 28 and 50, plus the other oils add some SPF, too. So I'm not sure the total amount, but I hope this helps :)

[@Skincareslug]

@Bumblebee Apothecary This is really bad advice. Raspberry seed oil not only has a low SPF rating but it only blocks UVA rays and provides no protection from UVB rays, which BURN the skin.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

@@Skincareslug Actually, clothing and shade first (which is what I am recommending here) are the official recommendations from the medical world, if you look them up.

[@Kendralovesskincare]

8 SPF against UVA rays... And that's if you are applying an adequate amount. Not a small amount to keep from clothes getting oily. Oils and sun equal basically cooking your skin. This is BEYOND dangerous.

Nice video. I saw several were asking about the Raspberry… Raspberry seed oil mostly protects against UVB which causes mutations that cause melanomas & skin cancers. It doesn’t protect the 95% of rays that are UVA. The coconut & olive oil do have some spf properties ( about a 4). I was interested in this, I follow my own protocols for sun protection (🥼👖🧤👒) and am an old school Fully Licensed Cosmetologist ( not just hair or nails, or skin or massage, I do everything ) & Skin Microbiome Specialist.
