This is quite a list, sounds like you've made & or used it? I'm just beginning my journey in Bath & Body Products & this recipe is intriguing. Is it oily on the skin?
I need to clear something up here. When something is said to be a "natural sunscreen", that doesn't mean it has a high enough SPF to actually protect you, and it also does not mean that it will protect against the specific wavelengths of UV that damage skin. Raspberry seed oil in particular only protects against the less harmful wavelengths of UV light, and not the one that causes skin cancer. The one that causes skin cancer makes up about 95% of the UV light that reaches us, which means that raspberry seed oil only protects you from the other 5% of UV light from the sun, and even then it's only reducing that by a little bit.
That's a great idea AliOop!
Every Picture Tells A Story Defiantly not a sunscreen or any protection at all. Some great info another link to add to my reading 
Thx for your info.Try to find a sunscreen that is already formulated to be moisturizing. Using sunscreen on top of other products may reduce the SPF. When a new sunscreen is developed, it has to be tested to make sure it actually works as formulated, because there are so many ingredients and combinations of ingredients that reduce the efficacy of the ingredients that block UV light. Your sunscreen will work best when used by itself.

I too live in the Desert & our dry hot summers & winds play havoc on my skin' of course being a sun baby in my Teen years oiled down w/ baby oil & iodine for that golden tan' has really effected my skin today. I can use oil on my skin & it helps.
When i'm in the sun' its the highest sunscreen' Hat & covered head to toe, but a good moisturizer under the SPF sunscreen.
Susan at swiftcraftymonkey says the same things about homemade sunscreen that the FDA says. She'll tell you the same thing I did in post #4 above.

She does have indices to everything, I think a lot of people don't realize that. Also she has ebooks which are probably a lot more organized than a bunch of blog posts will be.
Appreciate your input' I'll give it a try'
. The good thing is can cancel at anytime' Its a win win.
I also canceled after awhile, and for the same reason. My brain automatically puts things into outlines, or information trees, if you will, so when reading someone who is more circular and less organized, my brain gets overwhelmed. However, I did manage to learn a lot about what I wanted to learn (shampoo bars and conditioner bars) before quitting. I may rejoin at some point if there is another topic I want to study.
Thank you for the link. The site is very informative.
