Some people use coon fat as a sun screen lotion. It must be rendered down to a clean pure cream.

What chemical in raccoon fat provides UV protection? I remember using baby oil and iodine as a kid, but it didn't have any sunblock either.

snow use the dried rine for bait and the oil same as fish oil will be some of the best bait you will ever use every thing likes it even coon a really good die for your traps and works good for the moving parts on a live trap and yes it will keep your hands clean and soft just like working on coon in the fur shed its one of the the best products produced that a lot dont know anything about because they wont try it been using it for years have a 100 gallons of it and havnt put up very many coon for 5 years just like all oil it will last for years

i will render some for a dollar a gallon or a 20 dollar minimum for less than 20 gallon or maybe 50/50 if any one wants to try it thats a lot cheaper than fish oil and a lot of uses for it but it has to be fresh i aways did mine as i scraped the hides no rotten stuff and not used for human consumption and nothing but coon fat will furnish picture of end product if someone wants it dont know how to put pictures on here
