      That’s like the point. People got cancer from not having a proper way to protect themselves, and improvised. If it would have worked so well, something like a sunscreen didnt even have to be developed. It is literally protecting people from cancern nowadays. For this exact reason something like a proper sunscreen had to be found. So how does that argument of yours even make sense?

    I understand people have concerns about sunscreen and using only zinc (which I disagree with). Independent of that, making your own sunscreen like this is not safe or effective. Zinc only sunscreens are some of the most difficult to properly formulate even for experienced cosmetic chemists. If you want something equivalent, but that is actually effective, properly tested and formulated, I'd recommended a company like Badger.

    I cringed throughout this video thinking how you have been influencing a lot of people to use DIY sun protection for themselves and their children. People tend to use SPF products for protection against CANCER. It's a serious matter and you're being very irresponsible sharing this while ignoring comments from other people who are concerned like I am. There's this one comment asking you what SPF this recipe is and you answered so vaguely I actually laughed. Thing is, you don't know the SPF because this isn't a standardized recipe and it hasn't been properly lab tested like a proper sunscreen should be. I mean, you even measure in volume and not weight, do you realize how off your recipe could be every time? All the evidence you have is anecdotal. It doesn't mean it will work for everyone. Plus you can't even be sure that this is actually working for you. On top of everything I'm just amused by how you avoid the "negative" comments here. I just hope you're consider doing a bit more research into this. You can start with Michelle Wong's (chemistry phd) video which explains why DIY sunscreen is bad. It's very simple and easy to understand. ua-cam.com/video/aTNcbLHZusc/v-deo.html
    PS I see so many supporters you have here commenting on this video how they're gonna make this and use this on themselves AND THEIR CHILDREN and maybe even selling it. It just shows how people are very easy to believe what they see without proper study. Please be more responsible with what you put out. At least put clear disclaimers.

    • @YellowPineappleHoyas
      @YellowPineappleHoyas 5 років тому +4

      I’d say the SPF is around 4 or less. Zinc oxide has a very very low SPF on its own and Coconut oil only has an SFP of 4-5, so this is not a sunscreen and calling it such, is very misleading and potentially dangerous. This might be a decent baby balm, but certainly will NOT protect anyone from the sun. It is very very difficult to make your own sunscreen and should be left to the experts in labs. For fair skinned people, using coconut oil on the skin in the sun can lead to very nasty sunburns (I can speak from experience). Extra virgin Coconut oil does not clog the pores and is great from all skin types.

And anything that needs time and energy and resources to grow and become fruitful has every reason and purpose to be expensive

      sunscreen is actually one of the most difficult products to formulate, try getting a POWDER into a liquid or cream, while mantaining its effectiveness and safety, this diy nAtuRaL sunscreen isn't mixed properly and will actually do more harm than good with all the essential oils and sunburn bc this practically has zero spf :)

    Honey, I get you only will answer to the positive comments towards you, but I really hope you can give me an answer (not holding my breath here anyway). Could you please please put a summer video as a day-by-day follow up to see how it worked? Go out to the park every day with your baby and prove this is worth trying. My whole family are full of doctors (physicians) from all sorts of branches and I normally use natural products for almost all my personal care. I always consult about the science behind everything I put on my skin, hair, mouth and so on, by now you may understand why it is important to me to understand better the "it works great!" part. Sorry but "it works" doesn't seem to cover it. I also asked about this with my family and physician friends and no one single person recommends experimenting, specially with my child. Now, a follow up video (not a before/after, I need to understand it does work and how does it work because I`ve been actually doing lab research and doesn't seem to work) of the everyday use and exposure would be very very very clarifying and trustworthy, many live in countries where you need t go out of the house every day for many hours and kids go outside every day. thanks in advance

      @@XandriaRavenheart this is where you are wrong. I AM a huge advocate for natural products. However, I am also wise enough to know some things should never be made DIY. Sunscreen is one of them. How can you guarantee the SPF of a homemade sunscreen without lab testing? It's just not as simple as dumping some zinc oxide into a base. There are many factors to consider...interaction of different ingredients, PH and product stability for example. I don't know about you but I am not prepared to take that risk on myself and certainly not a baby!!!
      Pure essential oils pose their own risk. There are constituents naturally occurring in essential oils that can cause allergic reactions if not used within safe dermal limits and many, including peppermint EO, are not safe for children. Just because an ingredient is natural does not mean it's safe to use without understanding the possible health implications. Essential oils in particular are very concentrated and potent and if used incorrectly can be a health hazard. Please do some research.
