A Note From Dave

I made this for skin that lives outside.

Sun, wind, heat, and dry air can leave skin feeling tight by the end of the day. I built Sun Balm around grass-fed tallow, mango butter, coconut oil, jojoba, and non-nano zinc oxide for rich, mineral-based outdoor care. Made without oxybenzone, octinoxate, or synthetic fragrance.

The Science

Why Tallow + Zinc? Because Outdoor Skin Care Should Feel Clean, Simple, and Nourishing

Many conventional outdoor formulas rely on chemical UV filters such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, and homosalate. Some of these ingredients have raised concerns around skin sensitivity, environmental impact, and hormone-related activity, which is why certain chemical filters have been restricted or banned in some reef-protection regions.

Our approach is different. We use non-nano zinc oxide, a trusted mineral active that sits on the skin’s surface and doesn't absorb. Instead of a petroleum-heavy base, we pair it with grass-fed tallow, a rich, traditional fat that helps condition dry skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth, and nourished.
