Thanks. Michelle Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:58 AM   Hey Michelle, It all depends on how much sunscreen your making. Generally speaking, you should use 2 tablespoons of zinc oxide if your planing to make a cup full of sunscreen. Kind regards, Belal Chami Belal Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 12:36 AM   Thanks Belal, I guess I wasn't clear with my question, what I really meant, was how much do I need to add to a moisturiser to give it UV protective properties, without it being a sunscreen? Thanks. Michelle Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 9:31 AM   Hey Michelle, The same law applies to whichever base you wish to use for your sunscreen. Two tablespoons of zinc oxide should be mixed with an average cup full of moisturizer. Remember if you have sensitive skin to always perform a skin patch test first before use. Hopes this helps King regards, Belal displaying 1 to 3 (of 3 messages)   Home | Specifications | Recipes | Forum | Links Copyright © 2006 ndaroma.com
