Tattoo sunscreen

[elmtree]

Hey everyone. I'm heavily tattooed and use about a gallon of sunscreen a month in the summer months lol. I am looking for SPF info and information on the amounts of zinc oxide and TD to use for a more natural sunscreen for myself. I do make and sell my own B and B products but I would never sell sunscreen as I would never want to be responsible should a child or really anyone get burned after using such a product. Also, I've read that the FDA is really cracking down on this practice. I'm just looking for info for a cream for myself as I'm worried about all of the chemicals in store bought since I use so much of it. I just bought some raspberry oil from NDA and would like that to be the base as it claims to have an SPF of 28-40 or something like that. Any advice would be great!

I think I read that you can use up to 20% zinc oxide but I don't know if I'd really want to make sunscreen with it.

Part of my path to making soaps was about sunscreen. Please read swift's posts http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com/2014/06/blast-from-past-suncreens-what-does-spf.html
