I don’t know what you are calling natural, but everything labeled with vitamin E, tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, tocopheryl we break out with a rash….

They are allergic to vitamin E – even the natural one?

While I would like to leave it to the professionals. I and my two daughters are allergic to vitamin E which is in 99.9% of all manufactured suncreens, therefore I am looking for an easy one that I can make and leave it out of.

I guess it’s much easier to source in US. Here in Singapore, it’s not so easy. But great that you’re making your own sunscreen. You’re right about chemicals increasing sensitivity to the sun.

It is not that hard to find zinc oxide. I am just about to try making my first batch before taking the family to Creation. I have found that we are less sun sensitive since we have removed artificial ingredients from our food. Many chemicals increase sensitivity to the sun.
