DIY: Natural Sunscreen with Essential Oils

As part of the Young Living family, we do not need to worry about triggering unwanted illnesses from overexposure to the sun or controversial ingredients. Instead, we have 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils and all-natural ingredients as solutions. These give us the ability to create a custom “formula” that we can individualize for our skin.

Following are suggested ratios for customizing a do-it-yourself sunscreen with Young Living essential oils. Remember that the ingredient ratios will depend on your skin. As you tweak your formula, always test it on an area to check for any reaction.

1. Begin by using ½ cup of Young Living’s V-6™ Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex.
2. Add a combination of myrrh (4–5 drops), carrot seed (4–5 drops), and lavender (20 drops) essential oils.
3. Blend well and store in a dark-colored bottle.
4. To use: Liberally apply sunscreen over exposed areas.
5. Remember to reapply every couple of hours throughout the day, especially when participating in water activities.
