Place into a pot with only an inch of boiling water. Making sure that no water bubbles into the jar. Stir frequently.
Leave in the pot until everything is melted.
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the zinc.
Really whisk it in (for about one full minute). If it’s not dissolved it sinks to the bottom. Likewise, you can whisk it in, let it sit for one minute, and whisk again to ensure it's combined.
Pour into jars and let sit on the counter for twenty-four hours until firm.

Notes
Do not add essential oils to your sunscreen. Some oils (citrus essential oils especially) actually cause burns when exposed to direct sunlight! Thanks to the coconut oil, this sunscreen comes out a bit hard. I personally like this as it melts a bit when in the car/at the beach and makes it easy to go on. If you don’t like this, either cut the beeswax back ever so slightly or add in a bit more almond oil (start with one teaspoon)All of these DIY ingredients can be found from my favorite buyers here.
