Helichrysum In Sun Protection Formulas (Was RE: sunblock)

[Guest guest]

Happy Friday Marge, All,

 

Moving away from the specific recipe that brought up this topic, and

moving more towards the discussion of the potential benefit of adding

helichrysum to a sun protection recipe of any sort ...

 

Was there any indication as to what kind of Helichrysum " extract " ? Gosh

that " extract " can be such a vague word *lol*

 

Infusing Helichrysum flowers in an oil that already has " sun screening "

or " sun blocking " properties (Red Raspberry Seed for example) or using a

Helichrysum tea as the water phase for a lotion may be things to

consider ... any of our resident herbalists (and I know you're out

there, even if you are hiding from me ;-p) have anything to say on this

one?

 

Now of course, I must put out this disclaimer whenever talking about

making " sun stuff " ... folks can't go sell homemade sunscreen SPF

anything, you have to go through lots of steps to legally do that, what

I am talking about is making up items for casual personal use ....

which includes NOT relying on it to protect you from burning to a crisp

while sunbathing on a pool floaty for 12 hours

Dear Chris,

When I make aged Helichrysum infused oils I always use a goodly amount

of coconut oil in the formula to act as a natural sunscreen and it works

well for me and my clients. I have used coconut oil (the regular 76 degree

non-fractunated kind) because it does work well here in the North Texas

sun. As long as I wear a formula with coconut oil in it, I don't burn and I

am nearly 57 years old and have lived here all my life.
