[Everything doTERRA] Re: lavender as sunscreen

It is my understanding that using coconut oil and lavender or
helichrysum helps your body create its own sunscreen The coconut is
not a sunscreen, but it gives your body what it needs to protect
itself. My 2 and 5 year old have been at the pool all week. I made up
a spray bottle with organic virgin coconut oil. I put in 10 drops of
helichrysum. I applied it before they got wet and every 2 hours.
Yesterday, I tried a highly recommended low toxicity sunscreen (google
the skin deep report if you are interested in finding out what's in
sunscreen and sunblock) on them and they got more of a suntan
yesterday than in the previous 4 days at the pool with the coconut oil
and helichrysum. Also, take pictures of yourself before & after. Hope
this help!
