We typically put up a new Healthy Marriage Tips A to Z post on Thursday nights, but we’ve had a couple of super busy days which has kept us from writing our newest post in this series for tonight. We should be able to work on it tomorrow, and trust me, you don’t want us to stay up any later tonight trying to compose it. Matt can handle thinking late at night, but I’m personally having a hard time remembering how to spell “marriage” – writing about it would certainly not be a good idea for me right now.
Anyway, watch for that post tomorrow sometime – hopefully. In the meantime, I thought I’d very quickly tell you about this awesome resource from MadeOn.
I was very excited to hear that Renee, creator of my very favorite lotion bar (which is non-toxic and SUPER for dry skin), has recently come out with an ebook that will teach you how to make several awesome products that are healthy for your skin and inexpensive too!
You can learn to make Homemade Sunscreen, Full Body Conditioner, Bug Repellent Bar and more! Each recipe includes only 5 (or fewer) ingredients and all are ingredients you can trust (like coconut oil). Her ebook includes full instructions, as well as resources for finding the supplies needed. She even offers YouTube links so you can watch her making each product.
I’m most excited to try making the sunscreen – how cool will that be?

I would love to learn to make my own healthy non toxic sunscreen. What a great idea! Do you know what the other recipes in her book are?
Thanks
The recipes are: sunscreen, tan enhancer, bug repellent bar, foot protector bar, and body skin conditioner
Laura,
Have you try the sunscreen? I would like to make my own but worry that it won’t work! It would be great to know if anyone tried the sunscreen and like it!
Thanks.
I haven’t tried it yet, but the book said it’s SPF30!
I just read this article:

…and was beginning to think there was no alternative for safe skin care.
Hey Laura~
I’m placing my first order w/Made On, thanks to your suggestions! Are they offering any kind of discount codes right now?
Thanks!
There’s no discount available at this time that I know of.
Do the recipes involve any nut oils(ex: shea butter)?
Thanks
Linda
Yes, shea butter is included in several of the recipes.
Thank you for letting me know.
Linda
That is so very cool! What could be better than adding sunscreen to your homemade goodies collection?
