Title: Sunblock
Categories: Misc *
Yield: 2 Ounces

1	tb	Zinc oxide
1 1/2	ts	Light sesame oil
1	tb	Rosewater

Zinc oxide is the classic sunblock. Today zinc oxide is as popular as ever and comes in a range of exotic neon colors in additon to classic white. This sunblock is lighter in texture than straight zinc oxide ointment because of the added oil and rosewater, which also makes it easier to apply.

Mix together the zinc oxide and sesame oil. Heat the mixture gently, and stir well to mix. You may do this in the microwave on High or in a double boiler on the stove top.

Remove from heat and slowly add the rosewater, stirring thoroughly. Allow to cool completely, and store in a clean container with a tight-fitting lid.
