Does anyone know how to add a substance to help? Will beeswax do it do you think?

Very reliable! It's bad to judge if you don't know the 2 sides of the coin. It's like going for medical doctors or choosing alternative medicine. I still go for natural. God made our bodies in congruent with nature, nothing chemical. Otherwise take the consequences of your choice. Health or disease? I hope more people will discover this site thus save their health, money and our Earth. Keep it up! I adore your insights and reasearches. Very reliable!

SPF testing keeps throwing up flaws. There are tests done as you describe them and very often commercial Sun Lotion fails these tests. I don't mind using titanium oxide, I hate the fact that commercial TD is usually nano-technology TD and not just plain old "normal" TD.
