Many Uses for Zinc Oxide.
I love this zinc oxide powder! You can look up recipes using zinc oxide powder and find many uses with instructions, including sun screen, diaper rash cream, lip balm, deodorant, and probably much more. In addition to the &#34;recopies&#34; you can also add this in to lotion you already have. It is such a fine powder that it mixes in extremely well. I do suggest wearing a paint or medical mask since it can get into the air if you're breathing over it as you get the powder  out of the bag.<br />A great attribute of this particular zinc oxide powder is the sturdy resealable bag it comes in. You would have to try really hard to puncture the bag. Because it's tough, you could throw it in a suitcase without worrying about it getting everywhere. Once we get to our vacation destination, we'll mix up several containers of sunscreen. You can actually mix this in a bowl and seal it or put it into plastic bottles.<br />Since Tommy and our youngest son do a lot of surfing everyday, a heavy mix of zinc oxide lotion to coat onto their nose and under eyes is a must. The lotion sits at the top of the skin to protect those points on their faces that often get sunburned. It does not soak in. Keep in mind that this also means they have white face paint but so do a ton of other surfers so that's normal in our surroundings.<br />This is the first time I've done DIY sunscreen and If i had know this years ago I would have saved a fortune. We all know what the prices are like, I try to get it when it's on sale but it still does sting the wallet a bit. I received a free bag of zinc oxide powder and in return agreed to try it out and leave my honest opinion in this review. It's definitely a very handy item to have around! Do a search to find suggestions on how to make an assortment of zinc oxide items.
