With so many misleading and harmful ingredients in sunscreen these days, we love to make our own, as an alternative to over-the-counter products. Shea Butter nourishes, soothes, and moisturizes your skin while it’s exposed to the sun.
Here’s our favorite recipe:
2 ounces of LuLu Life's Shea Butter
1 ounce Marula Oil
1 ounce Zinc Oxide Powder
Melt shea butter and oils in a pan on low heat. Add zinc oxide and blend well. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months. Optional: Add essential oils for aromatherapy, such as soothing lavendar or cooling peppermint.
"The friends that we give them to love them. They are truly adorable. I must have bought a dozen by now!"
— Stephen H.
"I bought the medium-sized pair and they are beautiful: simple and dramatic. Also, as someone who generally wears smaller earrings, these are surprisingly light-weight and comfortable."
— Sonja R.
"The basket is beautiful and I love it! The colors are great. It has the aroma of other woven baskets I purchased in Africa - it’s like reliving my trips! Great product - great service! Thanks!!!"
— Julie M.
In the village of Diama, Senegal, a small shack houses a rudimentary medical center where residents of five surrounding villages seek medical treatment. The people of Diama have asked for our help to build an adequate medical center and improve access to health care, from childbirth to disease prevention.
Join us today to help build a medical center that will improve the lives of so many in the region where our baskets are woven.
