It's hot outside and everyone needs to protect themselves from those rays. This DIY sunscreen recipe is great for littles, uses natural, non-toxic ingredients, and really works.
A couple things to note about DIY sunscreen. It is white, you will be white, people may laugh. It will be okay. You won't burn. And that's why you made this DIY sunscreen recipe. Also, DIY sunscreen can rub off on your clothing. It has always come off of our clothes with a good wash.
Finally, DIY sunscreen is WATERPROOF. Seriously. I slather my active boys in this exact DIY Sunscreen and have for four years now. They play for three to four hours in the water with zero issue.
