Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Pam, Olive oil is really good for AFTER being in the sun, but it is not a sunscreen or sunblock. Also, I'd certainly not rely on only heli EO to do the job - as the " sunblock " recipe below does - and the " sunscreen " recipe is quite lacking IMHO. I personally would feel more comfortable trusting my alabaster pallor to a concoction containing Zinc Oxide, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Sea Buckthorn and Sesame Seed Oil, with some helichrysum in the mix too - maybe even a bit of virgin coconut ... FWIW, I also wear big hats and stay in the shade when I can *Smile* Chris (list mom - and moon bather) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Pam SUNBLOCK: Mix 3-6 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) with 100 drops of olive oil. Apply on skin every few hours. SUNSCREEN: 1 oz. sesame oil, coconut oil, and olive oil...(I would just use our V-6) and add 10 drops Helichrysum, 5 drops lavender, 3 drops Chamomile. Mix and apply. came off a 'you know what' group - just wondering if anyone has used this combination?? thanks Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all, IMHO - hemp oil is incredible used after a sunburn - especially mixed into a soothing cream.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Considering the price of Helichrysum, seems like a very expensive sunscreen, that there is no scientific info on. Sunblock is one of those thinks not to fool around with. Helichrysum has some wonderful uses. I doubt this is one of them.

[Dave]: Considering the price of Helichrysum and the fact that olive oil will make ya sizzle, seems to me like a little Desitin in the oil would do the same job for less. -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.4/399 - Release 7/25/2006 -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.4/399 - Release 7/25/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
