Have any of you ever made your own sunscreen? If so can you share your experience or formula? This was my 1st go at it and I used…

- Grass fed & finished Beef tallow

- organic zinc oxide

- organic coconut butter

- virgin coconut oil

- organic rosemary essential oil

I don’t really have measurements because I just read many DIY articles and then went with what ever I had available. But I did find this for SPF strength

1–5% zinc oxide: SPF 2–5

5–10% zinc oxide: SPF 6–11

10–15% zinc oxide: SPF 12–19

15–20% zinc oxide: SPF 20+

20–25% zinc oxide: SPF 30–35

I have and was going to again recently, but read this:

There are a few great clear zinc sunscreens in Australia (I picked up the Wotnot matt clear zinc yesterday).
