Why Use Organic Sun Products? This may come as a surprise but 75% of sunscreens are made with toxic chemicals. Specifically, they can actually release freeradicals when they are exposed to sunlight. This is bad news seeing as free radicals and oxidative damage is one of the key things that you would wear sunscreen in order to try and prevent.
Usually, you wear sunblock in order to deflect the sun’s rays and specifically, the harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays that can cause mutations to the cells. These rays can damage the cell walls making your skin look older but more alarming is that they can also penetrate deeper into the nucleus of the cell where they can impact on the actual DNA.
This causes mutations that then spread as the cells proliferate – thereby leading to cancer. Free radicals do the exact same thing and according to the Environmental Working Group, synthetic sunblocks increase free radical exposure.
Others cause allergic reactions and damage the skin. Many can contain synthetic estrogens which can prevent men from producing enough testosterone. And all of them get absorbed into the blood stream.
Think about that next time you’re lathering some on without really knowing what went into it! Oh and those estrogenic compounds (including oxybenzone, methoxycinnamate and PABA) are all also potentially cancer-causing.
What many of these products do do however, is to prevent the positive benefits of the sun such as vitamin D production!
Another issue is that sunscreens aren’t actually regulated in the US – and they haven’t been since 1978. The only information you can glean from the packaging in most cases is the SPF factor but this doesn’t tell you anything about the effectiveness of the product against UVB rays.
In fact, the FDA is quoted as saying:
“The FDA is not aware of data demonstrating that sunscreen use alone helps prevent skin cancer”
And after sun lotions and self-tanning lotions aren’t much better! There’s no doubt about it, the best sun cream is an organic sun cream!
How to Make Your Own Organic Sunblock :
The thing to recognize is that you can use any ingredient that is able to reflect the harmful rays of the sun. And guess what? A vast majority of oils you’ll find naturally actually do reflect these harmful rays to some degree – at least to the same extent as regular sunblocks and often moreso!
Here is a list of natural ingredients and the amount of sun production they can each offer:
• Almond oil – SPF 5 • Coconut oil – SPF 4-6 • Zinc oxide – SPF 2-20 • Red raspberry seed oil – SPF 25-50• Carrot seed oil – SPF 35-40 • Shea butter – SPF 4-6
So any of these ingredients will act as an organic sunblock and do just the trick if you’re trying to protect yourself from sun damage!
Of course you’ll need to add a few other things as well in order to make this into the best sun cream. Otherwise, it won’t have the right smell or viscosity to fulfil this use!
So follow this recipe:
• ½ cup of almong oil
• ¼ cup of coconut oil
• ¼ cup beeswax
• 2 tablespoons zinc oxide • Essential oils for smell
You can then mix these altogether by heating them over a pan of hot water. Stir well and then add to mason jars!
It might seem like a fair bit of work but what’s key to note is that you’ll be able to create a huge amount of product like this and then store it for repeated use. In the long term, it’s a great time saver and definitely a money saver!
