I had a reaction to the Bomasense sunscreen so I decided to make my own. I just use zinc oxide and jojoba oil. Zinc oxide is what protects you from the sun, and it also helps with acne and rashes. It hasn't done anything really for my acne, although because I am fair skinned it acts kind of like a nice foundation. It does leave a whiteness on your skin which is actually helpful I find on problem areas because it lightens the bright red patches if you have them.

If you have dry skin it can be kind of annoying because it does tend to leave a whiteness to your skin and if you're skin is dry it doesn't rub in completely. I have dry skin on my nose and forehead so when I rub it in I add a litte extra jojoba in this areas. I'm pretty sure that this mixture is responsible for the the disappearance of the rash under my eyes that had lasted for about three or four months.

They write on the bag that you can mix this with any oil or into any lotion etc, and 10% of zinc oxide corresponds to about an SPF of 6 or 11. The max allowed in the USA is 25% (all written on the bag). I used about 20% in my mixture of just jojoba and zinc ox. So far, no sunburns, and like I said, the rash under my eye has lessened dramatically and is almost entirely gone. It just flares every now and then. So, if you are fair skinned like me, I think this stuff is fine, since it acts like a foundation. It does clump a little so you have to rub it in well and you can always pat a little extra jojoba on if you want to even out certain areas then I'd just blot off any extra oil.

I pretty much always have a little white residue on my arms in the folds of skin where my arm bends, but whatever.

Maybe this will be helpful to someone.

Love
