I am currently in the process of making my own sunscreen using organic products. I live in FL and have lived in HI and I found Shiseido to be great products however very expensive. I am excited to see if my homemade creation lasts. I use beeswax, coconut oil and zinc oxide only. I recently learned that sesame oil blocks about 30% UV rays. Let me know what you think or if you have any insight. Thank you.
Janell

]]> Comment on Ocean Girl Project and Starbucks Team for a Beach Clean Up Saturday April 2nd! by oceangirlsurfcamp http://oceangirlproject.com/2011/03/24/ocean-girl-project-and-starbucks-team-for-a-beach-clean-up-saturday-april-2nd/#comment-238 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:58:43 +0000 http://oceangirlproject.com/?p=2387#comment-238 Which Sunscreen is the best?
* Be weary, most sunblocks you buy will claim to be “water resistant” not “waterproof”.
* Zinc oxide is still really the most effective block, it is also the least toxic to your body as well as to the health of the marine life.
* Titanium Dioxide, next level of sunblock – but really just a “screen” and allows 70% of suns rays to go through.
* Brands to look for Reef Safe, UVNatural & Soleo – contains 24% zinc oxide level, and does not cause eye stinging.

How to Apply Sunscreen

1. Apply the sunscreen at LEAST 30 minutes before entering the water – don’t put sunscreen on your eyelids or it will spread and sting your eye when you’re surfing.
2. Re-apply after at least 3 hours in the water.

Stock up, sun block is your best alliance against the sun!

Yet, only six percent of reefs are in protected areas that are effectively managed.

Thanks for your reply! I am currently using Headhunter sunscreen with SPF 30 on my face. I do put it all over my face from head to chin and about 15 minutes before heading into the water? Looking forward to you r response.

Thanks!

Please tell me what brand of sunblock you are using. I would also like to know how you apply it; all over your face? and when- like just before entering the water or at least 30 minutes before sun? As much info as you can give me would be more helpful in getting you the correct information in return. I’m glad to know you are concerned about it though. You will most likely NOT find sunblock that claims to be water”proof” only water resistant and very water resistant. The blocks I choose have proven to stay on successfully while I have paddled from Molokai to Oahu which takes over 5 hours. It means I’m in the sun for at least 6 hours. Sometimes I have a chance to reapply halfway across the channel and sometimes I don’t. I have never had them wear off or gotten burned. Once you give me your details I will send you more information. Thank you!
Laola
