Our family has been using this sun shield for a little over a year and we LOVE it. I have vitaligo and I don’t burn anywhere after hours out weeding and working in the yard (we live in the desert) Martha has tweaked the recipe and it’s even better/smoother than it was. Love the light scent of the oils and butters.
