Homemade Sunblock and Bug Repellant 2 in 1 Bars

If you are new with homemade cosmetics you may not have noticed that you always need 3 bases on hand your oil your butter your beeswax! Always stay stocked with your favorite butter coconut oil and beeswax!
My favorite stores are brambleberry.com and bulkapothecary.com

Here's my spin on sunblock lotion bars they melt on so they will melt if brought along on your travels so maybe keep in a cooler or bring a brick along in a tupperware if you plan on being out long.
all ingredients can be found at the above websites
1/2 Cup Cocoa or Shea Butter
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
5 Tablespoons Beeswax
2 Tablespoons Zinc Oxide Powder
1/2 teaspoon Catnip Essential Oil
1/4 teaspoon Citronella Essential Oil
Molds- Your choice ice cube trays or melt and pour candy trays get creative :)

Melt butter, beeswax, and oils together on low in a double boiler. Line molds with plastic wrap if not using silicone. Remove from heat. Slowly add zinc oxide while whisking. Add to molds fridge until cool and firm store in a tupperware like container in fridge or cool room.

Happy Camping!
