Good product, it's kept my skin burn free
This zinc oxide powder worked well in the sunscreen I made. I like that its non-nano and uncoated so I don't have to worry about it absorbing into my bloodstream. The finished product does feel a little pasty, not quite smooth, but that's to be expected. It wasn't visible after I rubbed it into my skin. I mixed it with my favorite moisturizing oils, beeswax, and essential oils. When using it you want about 20% of your sunscreen to be zinc oxide powder. From what I've read, you can't expect to get an SPF of more than 15. The molecules of this stuff tend to clump together so it's not properly dispersed into the formula. There's been a lot of hype about adding carrot seed and raspberry seed oils to the formula. Some websites claim these oils have an SPF of up to 50, but I cannot find any scientific data supporting these claims if you find any I'd love to hear about it. Both are great nourishing oils but don't expect them to contribute much SPF. An SPF of 15 is all most people need for moderate sun exposure and its perfect for me. I'm glad I bought this product, so far it's kept my skin burn free.
