I have been formulating and tweaking my sunscreens here and have had some great success with your information as a great foundation!! I had one small issue I was hoping for a bit of guidance on. i am working with a formulation without any water, just oils, butters, wax and zinc. the formula in the bottle smells amazing. The only problem i am finding now is that once applied rubbed in etc, there is a scent that seems to be coming off the skin. it's slightly different on each person but the consistant theme of it seems to be "sea, kelp, maybe fish, bit of metalic" That is the best way can describe. I have now added bit of essential oil to see though I feel it still comes through under the fragrance off the skin. Is there any insite you can possibly to provide to a. determine what is causing, b. how to correct it. I really appreciate any guidance you can provide! Thanks Brian Hi
