Sunscreen eReport Update
I’m working hard to complete my in-depth report on sunscreen. Lots of good stuff including recipes and sun care tips. And, it will cost much less than you’d spend on sunscreen this year. So, I won’t be posting much here until I finish, hopefully before the end of this month! There I said it. Now I must deliver.

I have a question:
if i just mix 100 gram of water with 10 gram of Mironised zincoixde and stirr/shake it very good and apply it immediately,
would that be alright?
or what would be the disadvantages of that instead of making/adding it in a lotion?

You could, but ZnO is insoluble in and denser than water so it will settle very quickly. Think sand and water. It would be difficult to get a good, even application. You are better off rubbing lotion/cream first, then using a powder brush to dust ZnO on. Not that I recommend this – you shouldn’t breathe ZnO powder but then again, people unknowingly do since it’s one of the main ingredients in powder makeup, esp. mineral makeup.

So glad you are doing this! I recently bought a neutrogena “stick” style of sunblock for a trip, which turned out to be quite convenient – but very expensive, and already half-gone. Will look forward very much to your report – thanks!
