This recipe definitely works and I've tried it! I live in a hot Mediterranean climate with 35+degrees temperature and we didn't get a sunburn! My fiance is Irish and his skin is much more sensitive to the sun than mine and he didn't get sunburnt with this recipe! People saying that this recipe doesn't work are either lying or didn't buy a quality zinc ingredient. The only thing I would suggest that would be helpful to viewers is that for cleaning up the equipment I recommend using paper towels to clean up the grease from the utensils and bowls because hot water just didn't wash away the cream from the items and was so difficult to remove...but wiping it away as much as possible with papers towels helped ALOT. Thank you for this recipe and I appreciate your channels so much!
Irish people tend to turn into red tomatoes in the Mediterranean sun ... then it worked well for you 😊 ... ps. No offence ❤
Thanks for the tutorial! I definitely need to try this since it's impossible for me to find a sunscreen that doesn't give me a headache or flare up my asthma.
You're welcome :)
Love this video and how simple you make it. Also appreciate the recipes. You are awesome.
Thank you! I appreciate your support :)
I made this and it worked so well, my skin even had a glow afterwards. I was truly amazed! I also added raspberry oil and carrot seed oil. Thanks for the recipe.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Not a problem you’re welcome
Can you mention these ingredients i didn't understand properly
@@scoobydoo7660
U can find it in the description
How did you make yours? I did the carrot seed aryan oil mixture and I am as red as a tomato currently lol.
Hey there! Thanks for this amazing video. Can't wait to make my own. I have acne prone skin so I was just wondering if I could use rosehip oil instead of coconut or olive oil as I can see that breaking me out x
You're welcome! Yes you can substitute a different liquid oil if you like :)
Hi Marisa and thank you. Can I use shea butter instead of cocoa butter please
Wow, this stuff is water proof for sure! Anyone have a suggestion for getting it off my dishes? How do you wash it off the body?
Heat it up and then wipe most of it off with a paper towel. Any remaining residue should come off with some good degreaser soap!
Thank you for the information 🙏💌
You're welcome! :)
Thanks you very much!!! God bless you all
You're welcome! :)

Hi
Ma'am plz tell me how long can we keep it and how long can it last and what is its expiry date.
thank you so much. I actually have all these ingredients. ;)
Hi! can we use shea butter instead of cocoa butter?
How long does it last once made? I mean if there would be an expiration on manufacturing date? Thanks :-)
The oils should be good for up to a year. They may go rancid after that. Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing your expertise. God bless you and your family.
hi, thank for the video.. could I do it without beeswax and coco butter? would the ratio change?
You could try, but the beeswax provides the waterproof property, and without the cocoa butter it would be much softer. Hope that helps!
WHAT LABELS DO YOU USE FOR THE SILCONE TUBES. I USE ONLINE WATERPROOF LABELS I TRIED USING THE ONLINE LABELS AND THEY WON'T STICK. I ALSO TRYED USING AVERY LABELS. WHAT KIND OF LABELS DO YOU USE THAT WILL STICK AND LOOK NICE. I REALLY LIKE YOUR RECEIPE FOR THE SUNSCREEN
Does anyone know if you can make this but leave out the cocoa butter please. I desperately need to know as i wsnna make some fot holiday in 2 days time. Thanks so much
Can I u recomend which type of carrot seed oil please as there's refined Aromatheropy type Something wasnt sure wich was best in purity thx
Here you go! amzn.to/3CymB0z
Should mention ingredients quentity
Thank you!
Thank you, love it
I have a brick of beeswax from the bee farm...can i use that? If so, how much?
Loved this..
Could you use shea butter instead of coconut oil? Would you use the same amount as the coconut oil for shea? Also, where do you like to get your prenatal clothes?
Shea butter is harder than coconut oil, so I don't think you could substitute them. If you did, you would need to increase the liquid oil to get the right softness. I get clothes a lot of places, and got some here: www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0VORUJGTkpHTUZCRkxMR0ZF
@@BumblebeeApothecary can i use fractionated coconut oil instead?
Pls is there is an alternative DIY sunscreen for the face. Coconut and olive oil are comedogenic so that means not so good for my acne-prone oily skin 😔
I agree, and I have been wanting to experiment and come up with a face friendly recipe. I'll get to work recipe testing!
@@BumblebeeApothecary Thank you 😊💕
I heard using only aloe vera gel and the zinc non nano works better for oily skin. Maybe add some shea butter if you like.
Jojoba oil, chamomile oil, and aloe vera r great alternatives
Very good 👍👍👍
Best of luck 💐💐
Also have you a diy stain remover for kids clothes my grandsons are little footballers and find it hard to remove stains thanks
That’s a great idea! I don’t have a video on it yet, but I will add it to my list of videos to do. Thanks!
sorry if this is late, dish soap and vinegar
So i just finished making this with my daughter. We are huge in making everything ourselves. So really love this but seems a bit tough. Not sure if i should use 1oz beeswax instead or is it because i used mango butter instead since its the one butter i have on hand. Thoughts?
You can melt it down and add more liquid oil if you want it softer :)
@@BumblebeeApothecary great!! also i checked the article, is there somwwhere i can see where you explain about how much spf is in each ingredient?
he bumblebee ! that's good n simple.
But wait ! Coco butter is expensive ! i mean in india coco butter costs $0.013 per ML of coco butter -
In India - it is expensive ! but any other alternative? pls. mention
Thank you!
I want to buy this but it's all sold out :(
Can you add essential oils like lavender chamomile
Yes, you can! I'd do a 1% dilution.
do not use citrus oils!! they can lead to phototoxicity and sensitize your skin to the sun even more
Can I make the sunscreen without coconut oil? Should I add another oil? Daughter is allergic to coconut
Yes you can! I would substitute more olive oil and more cocoa butter to make up the amount of coconut oil. I'd probably do 3/4 olive oil and 1/4 cocoa butter to keep it from being too stiff. Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Please explain me in hindi 🙏
Self life of this??
Can i add aloe gel in the mixture?
I love aloe! I haven't tried it, mostly because that would introduce water into the product, which wouldn't blend easily with the other oils. I think you'd have to make more of an emulsified lotion. If you try it out, let me know how it works!
Alguien pudiera traducir al español??🙏🏾
انا جايه عن طريق دكتور كريم اكتبو المكونات بالعربي
This is definitely way to thick is there anything i can do as got quite large batch
If it’s too thick, you can melt it all again and add a bit more liquid oil (olive, carrot seed or argan).
Do you no longer sell it? Cant find on site
I'm sorry I don't right now, but you can find similar natural mineral sunscreens on Etsy.com :)
Please check out this video about why homemade sunscreens do not work- ua-cam.com/video/aTNcbLHZusc/v-deo.html
This video also explains why using nano sized particles of zinc oxide is so important - non-nano does not work.
Mine came out very hard and not very creamy as well as non effective. Do you know what I might be doing wrong?
You can melt it down and add more liquid oil if you want it softer :)
Add more coconut oil or oil? When you refer to liquid oil ? Or do you just mean melt it
Scientists and chemists say do NOT make your own, no matter how badly you want to or believe that it will work. I believe them ..... But just what if this actually scientifically works? ... gosh how frustrating . D.i.y. sunscreen is the most delicious smelling thing !!.... But skin cancer is not ! ... I wish I knew! I wish I could go forward and back in time to test my home made sunscreen vs. pricey store sunscreen... grr.
Good thoughts. I have a blog post on this, actually, and I share some thoughts. For example, I don't think we should use homemade sunscreen the same way people use conventional sunscreen. I think that responsible sun bathing is the best way (gradually work up a tan, eat antioxidant rich foods to nourish and protect skin from the inside out, use shade and clothing) and only use a natural homemade sunscreen when out in the sun for an abnormally long time. :)
Scientist are paid off to support toxic crap to make greedy coportations money .over the counter sun cream can cause cancers due to the high levels of toxic ingredients . I can see why you on conflicted but sadly most products in the shop do more harm than good
The "scientists" from cancer asociation are the same scientists that reject natural ways of healing cancer, because they are funded by big farma. The same farma that sells you sunscreens
Where's the marine life??
These are some wild claims
Yes halved it all that’s where think went wrong must have put too much of something in going to try again but smaller batch so no waste can you give me small quantities so get it right sorry to be nuisance
No worries, I’m happy to help! You can halve the recipe (or even do 1/4) and it should still turn out. Just make sure you’re measuring everything by weight and not volume 😊
Tip: measure out the beeswax alone. Melt it-first, then remove from heat and add remaining ingredients ❤️ (place a heat pad on scale)
THANK YOU! Just so you know, right after I watched your video the 1st time a video from a 'PHD' scientist claiming it is irresponsible to make your own sunscreen because it's not made in a lab came on...😂 I had a few choice words for her (kindly of course). I guarantee the pharmaceutical companies are paying her. It is so disturbing how UA-cam & big tech are involved in this movement to destroy our health. Anyway, loved this info & greatly appreciate you for sharing it✌🌻
You're welcome! :)
it's business. of course, they discourage DIY formula. it's your skin. it's for personal use. why do they care?
@@jujutsu914 It happens in all kind of things related to medicine.
In general, the optic industry hides the information about myopia (Myopia prevention with plus lenses)
Information about cancer + heart disease prevention is hidden (Look up Ty Bollinger)
Fluoride is a poison which is present everywhere, so is GMO.
Things like Polysorbate 80, Niacin, microneedles, etc were shown to have effect on possibly reversing hair loss yet you only hear about finasteride+minoxidil.
There's no end to this.
So, someone who actually has an education on spf and the actual ability to give advice on sunscreens and spfs is the one you're mad at?
@@BumblebeeApothecaryThank you! I don't care how many letters you have after your name, but who would think that baking chemicals into your skin is a good idea? Seriously???
Love your plaque on your wall! "The Lord is my strength and sheild" Amen!! 💞
Thank you! :)
Hi,
What are the percentage? I don’t want to make so much.
Great info!!! My grandson had leukemia and his pediatric oncologist warned us to NEVER put sunscreen on him or ourselves. She said sunscreens are so toxic and actually cause skin cancer and other cancers as well!
Do you add Zinc Oxide in before adding the heat? I watched so many DIY video, most of them add Zinc Oxide right at the end when the oil and beeswax are not as hot. So do you think overheating won't change the element in Zinc oxide?
I don't think it changes the elements, but adding it last after the oils have cooled some would help it stay suspended and not settle to the bottom as it cools :)
Thank you for asking this question. I was wondering the same.
zinc oxide has the melting point over 1600°C, there won't be any elemental changes, atleast I guess.
Zinc oxide is produced when molten zinc gets too hot and combines with oxygen - the heat used to make this is nowhere near that temp and would have zero effect on it.
Wow thank you so much for this recipe! I love making my own products. I already have the ingredients from making deodorant, body butter, and soap. Now I have another recipe to use them with ❤
Recipe pls
You are giving false information. Zinc oxide is extremely hard to work with. The reason why they make modules smaller so it works better doesn't clump. Sunscreen is considered a medince.
By adding different oils and things you are also causing it not to work, because it's highly sensitive.
You OBVIOUSLY haven’t made it ...works great! Especially with the bees wax added to not have to reapply and staying on in the water...I was raised on the beaches...it works!!
How many uses can you get out of this recipe? Just wondering bc I have a big family
Thank you so much for sharing! I had no idea it's so easy and safe to make sunscreen at home! I'll defo make my own sunscreen for this summer based on your recipe.
Just one question: are you aware of any substitute for beeswax and/or if I can skip it? Thank you!!
You're welcome! The beeswax makes it waterproof, so you could leave it out if you don't need it to be waterproof. Or you could try candelilla wax :)
Shouldn’t you be wearing a mask when pouring the zinc oxide?? Yikes
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your method and links to the ingredients. I made the sunscreen and it has too much white colour and doesn't rub in. Do you have any suggestions on how to create the sunblock without the white component?
Thank you,
Kristina Camaj
It's common for it to not rub in if you're using too much. I would try using less :)

I love sheabutter and it has great skin care qualities and SPF too. Can I substitute sheabutter for the cocoa butter in your recipe? Great job, kudos for sharing your knowledge on natural remedies!
I see you answered this already!!! Tks again!
You're Welcome :)
Very very easy and go to recipe ... Amazing work
Thanks! 😊
😢I can't use oils, and everything has oils. Coconut oil is awful for my skin😢
How did you determine that this cream has an SPF of at least 30?
A DIY sunscreen is so dangerous. How do you stable the ph-value? How do you distribute the zink oxide without a coting?
This is not safe for babies, kids or even adults.
It's worked great for us for years. That is the combined SPF of the individual level for each of the ingredients. I recently tried a store bought natural version, and it didn't work as well as my own.
@@BumblebeeApothecary thats.... not how spf works
@@sofiamelchert7578 what di you mean?
@@lova368 It doesn't matter that you added 15% spf solution to your base, because depending on formulating (and many other factors), the spf level at the end may be even at 0. It's dangerous to use a diy sunscreen. It always contains oil with can lead to sun burn or just sun related skin damage in future (fact that you don't see any negative results right now, doesn't mean that they are non). It's even more dangerous if you put it on babies. Very important thing also is that zinc poorly formulated just doesn't protect the skin. It's impossible for someone at home to make SAFE SPF. Just use right ones, that are already tested, well formulated, with ingredients that suit you. Don't even try to do DIY ones, coz you may pay for it in the future.
You’re wrong because the MAIN ingredient IN sunscreens is Zinc Oxide...go ahead and indulge yourself in the machination of products containing carcinogenic additives and preservatives others are in here to learn because they’re intelligent & open minded and don’t just go ally with paid advertisements or companies that own the manufacturers of sunscreen which is probably Big Pharma amd dermatologists lol...and the cure for skin cancer is a salve I can make that o made and cured by dads skin cancer entirely...
This video is dangerous and should be taken down. I don't understand why youtube doesn't ban "tutorials" like this. It's VERY dangerous. More dangerous than using "toxic" spf from stores. Do not try this especially on babies! Read and learn before showing people stuff that can lead to cancer or sun burns... irresponsible
What is irresponsible or dangerous in it?
Love the recipe, I just made it, it is so well explained and the texture is perfect. Thank you :)
Great to hear, thank you!

Is there an alternative to coconut oil? We have a coconut allergy in the family.
Great question! You can use tallow or shea butter :)
Why do many people on here included doctors are saying to US non nano zinc?
Can i add flexseed oil and 2 vitamin E capsule for preservation....
That's a good idea, those would add some nice antioxidants. Technically, though, it doesn't contain water so preservation isn't as much of a concern. But it wouldn't hurt!
If I use shea butter instead of cocoa butter would it be gross to add eucalyptus or lemon oil for fragrance
Can't even get two thirds of those ingredients where i live XD
What could you add to harden this? I'm looking for something to make it stickier for surfing
Increase the beeswax amount or sub more tallow for one of the liquid oils - tallow stays solid at higher temps and beeswax will give it more stickiness without becoming crumbly.
Would this recipe leave a white cast?
Hi! I would like to ask, for olive oil, do we use cold pressed virgin or those for cooking?
The ones for skin I would assume! 😊
Koi hindi Mai Bata do please
Hiya does anyone know roughly what spf this would be?
What vegan option would you recommend to replace the beeswax?
You could try candelilla wax - I haven't tried it, and you might need to increase the liquid oil since it is harder than beeswax, but it would be worth a try!
Hi, firstly thanks for this great video. I want to ask an alternative of Beeswax, for vegan purpose. Can Candelilla wax replace beeswax as water proof agent in this preparation? Plz suggest, it'll be great help. Plz let me also know an approximate SPF of this product as i have a very tan prone skin. I would also like to know what can be added to this preparation to make it more moisturizing. Plz respond.
I haven't tried candelilla wax, but I am guessing it would work well! I would use less, because it is harder than beeswax. With all of the ingredients combined, from my research the SPF is at least 30. Most of the ingredients are highly moisturizing. I also have a tallow sunscreen recipe: ua-cam.com/video/BrnTxqljNnU/v-deo.html
Can you use this on oily skin?
Yo just go pet a hippo and cover yourself in their slime- even more natural
Speaking from experience?
Do you have a tallow sunscreen too? Thanks
Yes I do! bumblebeeapothecary.com/tallow-sunscreen-recipe/
Your baby bump is beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What can you replace skin oxide with?
I'm going to leave it out
I had awesome success trying this on my very fair skinned son. Shared it on my fb so hopefully you will see a few extra followers! Thanks for your channel, I’m learning a lot!
Hello. I was wondering about how much spf protection this would have? I know you mentioned it’s hard to say with homemade proof it’s and the oils had about 30spf.
How about tallow
How much PH level ?
SPF 50+ or - ?
She says about 30spf but it's not exact
Yes done that but it's rock hard and all the utensils I've used its hard getting it clean so I've obviously done something wrong to much zinc perhaps
Okay, yes, it shouldn’t be that hard. Sorry you’re having trouble!!Something must be off. I’m happy to try and help. Did you measure everything by weight?
Can I add it cold straight into mixture
You need to melt the solid ingredients first 😊
Is there any chance to make a homemade sunscreen without zinc oxide?

It would be much better for your next video if the camera pointed more to the product you are making than (excuse me) you, so we have a perfect instructions view! THANKS AGAIN!
So can I ask what is the total spf with this recipe
At least 30 :)
Can you double all the ingredients to make more at once? thank you xx
Yes you can!
Hi I don’t know if you’ll see this since it’s so late but can I use candelila wax instead of beeswax?
How can you make it a higher spf than 30? We normally use 50 - 70 spf
Absolutely Fantastic information!!!!! I love your video!!! It's helped me sooo much as I'm moving back to FLORIDA
So glad!
