Hey @gymrat
From your recipe for the sunscreen, I'm looking to try this out with a nivea lotion (without carbomer) that I use for my DIY LA lotion
Cinnamon or Ylang-ylang EO
Non nano & uncoated zinc oxide
But i can't get the last bit, the polysorbate 80

The oil needs to be a "carrier" oil not an essential oil. This is where the Poly 80 comes into play....you will need an emulsifier so the oil and cream bind together.

Thanks a lot! I tried to order the poly from my local bss but they said they're done making any for the year (focusing on clearance sales) till next year so I'll have to wait to try it out. I'll keep you updated

@gymrat I'm currently on a bottle of Neutrogena sheer zinc which has 21% ZnO which gives me a bit of a white cast which i get around by dusting my mineral powder on my face. I still haven't been able to get poly for this but I'm working on it. How much percentage will this recipe give? Will shea nut oil work as a carrier oil?
Thanks gymmie 🤗❤

Yes use whatever oil you can get that is light, nothing that is heavy. I've tried Neutrogena Sheer Zinc and I wasn't a fan, it left me with a white cast as well. You would need the poly to make things blend together......tell me again where you are, maybe I can point you in another direction to find another SS other then the Neutrogena.
