This may feel good after sun, but is NOT useful as a sunscreen!

Question: Homemade Suntan Lotion?

I read in a book about making your own sun tan lotion. We all know how expensive it can be to purchase at the store. I was wondering if anyone knows the recipe for it? Is it really safe to use, or am I better off paying for it at the store? Thank you so much!
