I have to make this. I try to make sure we’re always protected from the sun, but sometimes we still get burned. This sounds like it would really help.
Colleen says
I love this! I always opt for all-natural, and preferably, homemade products whenever possible. I have to make up a batch of this.
Dana Vento says
I try to never get burned and to keep my family from getting burned. That being said, if we do ever get burned, this stuff sounds like it would really be helpful.
Catherine Sargent says
I never thought about making my own sunburn cream and I love that this is all natural. We typically just use aloe for sunburns, but this will be a better option.
Monica says
My kids have been in surf camp for the majority of the summer and despite re-applying sunblock and wearing hats they get WAY too much sun. It’s the one aspect that I don’t like. This cream looks so great. Do you think it’s OK for sensitive skin?
