DIY Natural Sun Oil

This Free People Recipe for SPF Sun Oil is a Completely Natural Alternative

If you are looking for a DIY natural sun oil, this recipe from the Free People blog will do the trick. The SPF sun oil is an all natural alternative for a summertime everyday beauty product.

While vitamin D is an essential nutrient and the best way to get it is through sunlight, it is important to protect your skin if you are outside absorbing rays. Rather than putting potentially toxic ingredients on your skin, this plant based natural sun oil is a great way to go. This DIY project calls for coconut oil, carrot seed oil, almond oil, raspberry seed oil, olive oil and avocado oil, all of which contain naturally occurring amounts of SPF. The key ingredient is the carrot seed oil, as it contains the most amount of SPF.
