HOMEMADE SUNSCREEN: This recipe has an SPF of about 30. Once you know the percentage of zinc oxide in the diaper rash cream you use, you can estimate the SPF. For example, Desitin Maximum Strength has 40% zinc oxide, which would be an SPF of 60, but since it’s diluted by half with the other ingredients, the SPF is approximately 30. This recipe makes the perfect amount to fill a travel size bottle you can buy at the grocery store. Ingredients: -1/4 cup Diaper Rash Cream (e.g., Desitin Maximum Strength; for a paraben-free diaper rash cream, try Method Baby Diaper Cream) -1 tablespoon Coconut Oil -1 tablespoon Cocoa Butter -1 tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel -1 teaspoon Sesame Oil -1 teaspoon Beeswax (makes it water resistant) -10 drops Lavender Essential Oil (optional)
