Review (4/5): Got for homemade sunscreen
I am allergic to every sunscreen out there except for titanium dioxide, unfortunately the cheapest I have been able to find said sunscreen is $30 for 8 oz which is pretty high considering that most sunscreens are under $10. I decided after seeing some recipes for homemade sunscreen on pinterest using zinc oxide that I should be able to make one using TD. I gathered my ingredients: Titanium Dioxide Powder, Virgin Coconut oil, cocoa powder. Mix 2 parts melted coconut oil to 1 part titanium dioxide (don't breathe in the powder). Mix very well as the powder will have some tiny lumps, then mix in cocoa powder to make skin color. TD powder is VERY white and if you don't mix in cocoa powder you will look like a clown. I'm not sure what the SPF is on this but titanium dioxide forms a physical barrier between your skin and the sun, it doesn't work like traditional ones.
