How to make all natural sunscreen cream

I finally made a video. But with this, new challenges came...lol.....I could not, for the life of me, find a program to crop the inside of the video so I can make it only 10 min long. So, you will have to suffer through all the mixing with the hand blender :-(

Enjoy:
