Hi everyone,

Mum has given me a recipe she likes the look of for sunblock & asked me to make it for her.
No worries there, I'll give it a go, but I have some doubts? :?

There is no emulsifier in the recipe & it claims that the beeswax does this job, I dont know if this is true?
But it also says water will continue to settle to the top throughout its life & just to drain it off?

This just doesn't sound right!?! :shock:

Also there is no mention of a preservative & I would've thought this was a necessity in anything with water added?

Thanks so much
Rochy :)

There is no way to know the actual SPF without expensive testing. Beeswax is not a sunscreen. Anytime there's water in the product, you need to use a preservative. Water will settle? :shock: No way is this a good recipe.

Thanks Irena,

I'll let Mum know it's not a good one. Just didn't sound right!

I think the beeswax was meant to keep the mix 'thick & suspended'. Zinc oxide is in there as a sun protectant.
I know its not worthwhile testing for SPF or anything, Mum just wanted something for those cloudy winter days that still
need a little protection :)

Thanks heaps
Rochy

You're welcome Rochy.
I love to make most things myself, but this isn't one of them. The beeswax will not keep the water suspended. You would need an emulsifier. I would stick with a professionally made product for this.
