The Belo and blk tinted sunscreens both work best as base products as they don't quite get near the “recommended” sunscreen amount. Just as you shouldn't rely on your SPF foundation to provide you with adequate sun protection, it's best to wear a separate sunscreen to make sure that your skin is really protected.

But the truth is that higher-SPF products are only marginally better at shielding you from UVB, according to both the EWG and the Skin Cancer Foundation. SPF 30 blocks nearly 97% of UVB radiation, SPF 50 blocks about 98%, and SPF 100 blocks about 99%.
Choose the Right Sunscreen
- Choose a sunscreen with “broad spectrum” protection.
- Make sure your sunscreen has a sun protection factor (SPF) 30 or higher.
- “Water resistant” does not mean “waterproof.” No sunscreens are waterproof or “sweatproof,” and manufacturers are not allowed to claim that they are.
Dermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97 percent of the sun's UVB rays. Higher-number SPFs block slightly more of the sun's UVB rays, but no sunscreen can block 100 percent of the sun's UVB rays.

A. There's a danger in assuming that putting on sunscreen is by itself enough to protect you against the sun. Many studies have demonstrated that individuals who use sunscreen tend to stay out in the sun for a longer period of time, and thus may actually increase their risk of skin cancer.
Homemade sunscreen with aloe vera and coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (has an SPF of 7)
- 2 (or more) tbsp. powdered zinc oxide.
- 1/4 cup pure aloe vera gel ( must be 50 percent or higher pure aloe)
- 25 drops walnut extract oil for scent and an added SPF boost.
- 1 cup (or less) shea butter for a spreadable consistency.
The FDA is proposing that two ingredients are “generally recognized as safe and effective” (GRASE). These ingredients are: Titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide.
Oxybenzone is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photoallergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. This ingredient, sometimes called benzophenone-3, is not to be confused with benzophenone, another common sunscreen ingredient.
Most homemade sunscreen recipes include ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter or cocoa butter to make a lotion as a base. I've been trying various homemade lotion recipes using these ingredients for two years now and have been successful for homemade magnesium lotion.
