Grass-Fed Tallow Sun Balm – Natural SPF 20 and Reef-Safe (2 oz)

We are excited to introduce our Tallow Sun Balm!  It's been a long time coming but we wanted to make sure it was just right.   We created a Sun Balm that is not only healthy and effective but also applies easily (see video) and has a subtle yet amazing scent!   

Protect Your Skin and Our Oceans

Many conventional sunblocks contain ingredients that not only harm our skin but also damage marine ecosystems. Chemicals like oxybenzone, homosalate and octinoxate are notorious for their detrimental effects on coral reefs and aquatic life, leading to coral bleaching and disrupted marine habitats. In fact, many travel destinations are finally getting around to banning the use of sunblocks with these ingredients.

Additionally, these substances can be absorbed into our skin, potentially causing health issues over time such as endocrine system/hormonal disruption.

Embrace a Healthier Alternative

Our Grass-Fed Tallow Sun Balm is formulated with natural ingredients that are safe for both your skin and the environment. Here’s a brief summary of how each ingredient contributes to your skin’s health and protection against the sun’s harmful rays:

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow: Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, our grass-fed beef tallow deeply nourishes the skin, helping to maintain its natural barrier and hydration levels. It mimics the skin’s natural oils, ensuring a smooth and non-greasy application.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide: Providing broad-spectrum protection, zinc oxide is a mineral-based sunscreen ingredient that shields your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Importantly, it is reef-safe, meaning it does not harm coral reefs or marine life. Studies indicate that 1% zinc oxide offers approximately 1.6 SPF, giving our sun balm effective protection (13% zinc oxide = ~SPF20).*

Organic Beeswax: Beeswax acts as a natural emulsifier, forming a protective barrier on the skin that locks in moisture. It ensures the sunblock stays effective throughout the day, even in water.

Coconut Oil: Known for its moisturizing properties, coconut oil keeps your skin smooth and hydrated while offering additional SPF benefits. Its natural fatty acids help repair and protect the skin.

Mango Butter: Packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants, mango butter enhances the sunblock’s spreadability and provides deep moisturizing benefits. It also helps maintain the balm’s stability in heat, ensuring a consistent application.

Jojoba Oil: Mimicking the skin’s natural sebum, jojoba oil ensures a smooth, non-greasy application and helps regulate oil production. It also adds an extra layer of hydration and protection.

Vitamin E Oil: A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E oil protects the skin from environmental stressors and promotes healing. It helps to neutralize free radicals caused by sun exposure, reducing the risk of skin damage.

Vanilla Essential Oil: Infused with natural vanilla essential oil, our sun balm has a light, beachy scent that evokes a tropical paradise without any synthetic fragrances.
