This sunscreen is tried and true! A must for my family, a repeat for many market customers, and sure to become your favorite sunscreen!
We are an outdoorsy group and would not dare venture into the Florida sun without this. It is approximately a 50 SPF, water repelling, and perfect against the bugs that outnumber us here. On top of that, it is skin nurturing, a great moisturizer and protectant in one!
This has been slightly modified since this listing was created, and now has the extra benefit of raspberry seed oil. This addition has made this product all the more popular.
I have combined the soothing benefits of lavender with the bug repelling benefits of citronella, to make a universal sunscreen that goes on clean, and rubs in smooth, leaving no greasy after feel. This absorbs quickly, and will not take forever to rub in as other sunscreens may.
In addition to lavender, citronella, and raspberry seed oil, I have combined Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Non-nano Zinc, and a healthy dose of Vitamin E as a natural preservative, to create a long lasting formula that is as great for the body as it is for the senses. The smell is lovely…so summery, but the bugs don’t like it!
Non-Nano Zinc is the best broad spectrum UVA and UVB reflector approved for use as a sunscreen by the Food and Drug Administration. This is because zinc oxide does not absorb into the skin when applied with a lotion. Instead it sits on top of the skin and reflects both UVA and UVB light. Because it isn’t absorbed into the skin, it doesn’t irritate or cause allergic reactions.
The best is that you will not need to reapply this constantly like you would with water based, store bought formulas. In fact, we usually don’t need to reapply at all, whether it be a beach day, waterpark day, or just a day at the park, one good application and we are set to go!
I offer this in two sizes, 1oz and 4oz. The 4oz is a great family size and the BEST deal (a savings of $10 compared to 4 1oz tins). Don’t worry about it spoiling, there is plenty of vitamin E to act as a natural preservative and this will last for years if not used right away.
Typical store bought sunscreens will only last a season and can cost $8 or more! With my sunscreen a little goes a LONG way, and there is no need to shake and redistribute the ingredients, or to lug around a bulky tube.

Natural is better, and with sunscreen that is no exception. More than 2 Million American’s are diagnosed with skin cancer every year. Do your own research on the dangers of commercial sunscreen. You can also look here, to Dr. Axe at Food Is Medicine:
The Dangers of Conventional Sunscreens
According to research from the EWG: Our review…shows that some sunscreen ingredients absorb into the blood, and some have toxic effects. Some release skin-damaging free radicals in sunlight, some act like estrogen and disrupt hormones, and several can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. The FDA has not established rigorous safety standards for sunscreen ingredients. Sunscreens haven’t been regulated since 1978 in the USA, and the SPF factor only tells you how effective a sunscreen is against UVB rays which cause sunburn.
IF YOUR CURRENT SUNSCREEN CONTAINS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CHEMICALS, you should throw it out right away!

Octyl salicyclate
