1000 Flowers for the Planet - #532 Make Your Own Sunscreen
There are
plenty of recipes available on the Internet for making your own sunscreen at home.
Do the research for yourself and find one that suits, rather than having me
dictate one to you here. But if you need a nudge as to why you should do this,
then take some time to read the ingredients listed on your current sunscreen
lotion. Many contain toxins, and there have even been claims that commercial
sunscreens may increase your risk of skin cancer, but as I’m no scientist and
maybe you aren’t either, do your own research on this matter too. I’m here to
make suggestions for how we can improve the planet, and it makes sense to me
that when you make your own sunscreen you can be sure of the ingredients that
go into it and be fully aware of what you’re putting on your skin. Whatever the
human health benefits, the benefits for the planet are the you also have the
power to use metal containers, thereby keeping plastic out of your life and out
of landfill. You’ll be using less resources because you’ll only make what you
need. Perhaps you’ll find it a cheaper option too.
