Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Pam, Olive oil is really good for AFTER being in the sun, but it is not a sunscreen or sunblock. Also, I'd certainly not rely on only heli EO to do the job - as the " sunblock " recipe below does - and the " sunscreen " recipe is quite lacking IMHO. I personally would feel more comfortable trusting my alabaster pallor to a concoction containing Zinc Oxide, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Sea Buckthorn and Sesame Seed Oil, with some helichrysum in the mix too - maybe even a bit of virgin coconut ... FWIW, I also wear big hats and stay in the shade when I can *Smile* Chris (list mom - and moon bather) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Pam SUNBLOCK: Mix 3-6 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) with 100 drops of olive oil. Apply on skin every few hours. SUNSCREEN: 1 oz. sesame oil, coconut oil, and olive oil...(I would just use our V-6) and add 10 drops Helichrysum, 5 drops lavender, 3 drops Chamomile. Mix and apply. came off a 'you know what' group - just wondering if anyone has used this combination?? thanks Pam Quote
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all, IMHO - hemp oil is incredible used after a sunburn - especially mixed into a soothing cream.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Considering the price of Helichrysum, seems like a very expensive sunscreen, that there is no scientific info on. Sunblock is one of those thinks not to fool around with. Helichrysum has some wonderful uses. I doubt this is one of them.

[Dave]: Considering the price of Helichrysum and the fact that olive oil will make ya sizzle, seems to me like a little Desitin in the oil would do the same job for less. -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.4/399 - Release 7/25/2006 -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.4/399 - Release 7/25/2006 Quote
