More backpacking ?'s - natural sunscreen & bug repellant???

[Guest guest]

When you eat all raw you won't need sunscreen, but in the mean time try wearing

a hat, not being out in the midday heat and use coconut oil, not cacao butter.

Avocados work if you don't mind the green tinge.

 

I bought lavendar spray for my kids when they went to camp and it worked. In

later years we found a spray with citronella that works even better.

In addition to coconut oil helping with the sun, it's

been proven effective as an insect repellent when

mixed with soybean oil and geranium oil (much more

effetive than Citronella type repellents apparently).

Hi Shari,

 

I have found that this not true for me yet. I am much more resilient

but I still burn. I have been 100% raw for more than 6 months. Maybe

cause my ph is not always in balance?

Well, Minnie, I still burn too if I stay out too long during the prime sun hours

of 10 - 2.
