Aloe & Coconut Milk Sunburn Reliever
This is the book's dedicated sunburn-specific formula, leaning on chilled aloe's genuine vasoconstrictive cooling effect combined with coconut's lauric acid and lavender's calming reputation, light coconut milk (not full-fat) keeps the formula thin enough to spray and reapply frequently without feeling greasy on already-sensitive burned skin.

Keep a dedicated bottle of this in the refrigerator all summer, pre-made and ready, sunburn relief is far more effective applied immediately than mixed fresh after the fact.
