My skin stays soft all day, and I don't feel like I have a heavy layer sitting on my face." Kim has sensitive, dry skin and says most outdoor products make it worse. Not this one.

Ingredients

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow:

Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow nourishes the skin, helping to maintain its natural barrier and hydration levels. It ensures a smooth, non-greasy application that leaves your skin feeling soft and protected.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide:

A gentle mineral known for its skin-soothing properties that sits on the surface without being absorbed. Reef-friendly and safe for sensitive skin, it helps form a calming barrier that keeps skin comfortable outdoors.

Organic Beeswax:

Acts as a natural emulsifier and protective barrier, locking in moisture and ensuring long-lasting effectiveness, even in water.

Coconut Oil:

Known for its moisturizing properties, coconut oil keeps your skin hydrated and comfortable while supporting your skin's natural moisture barrier.

Mango Butter:

Packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants, mango butter provides deep moisturization while improving the balm's stability in heat, ensuring a consistent, smooth application.

Jojoba Oil:

Mimics the skin's natural sebum, allowing for a smooth, non-greasy application while providing extra hydration and regulating oil production.

Vitamin E Oil:

A powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals caused by environmental exposure, supporting healthy-looking, nourished skin.

Vanilla Essential Oil:

Adds a light, beachy scent, giving the balm a tropical feel without the use of synthetic fragrances.

Benefits

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide + Grass-Fed Tallow

Zinc oxide sits on top of your skin as a physical barrier. Non-nano means the particles are large enough to stay on the surface. Grass-fed tallow conditions underneath. Protection and moisture, simultaneously.

"Like a Moisturizer That Holds Up Outdoors"

That's Amanda's description, and other reviewers echo it. Most outdoor products either feel heavy and greasy or dry your skin out. This balm does neither. It absorbs, it conditions, and it stays put through activity.

Sensitive Skin Approved

No chemical UV filters, no synthetic fragrance, no oxybenzone, no octinoxate. Kim has sensitive, dry skin and says most outdoor products make it worse. This one kept her hydrated and comfortable through long days outside.

How to Use

Apply a small amount of the balm to skin before heading outdoors.

Massage it gently to ensure even coverage.

Reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after swimming or sweating.

What's Inside Your Tallow Sun Balm (And Why It Matters)

Why Tallow + Zinc? Because Good Skin Protection Shouldn’t Compromise Skin Health.

Why Tallow + Zinc? Because Good Skin Protection Shouldn’t Compromise Skin Health.

Chemical UV filters absorb into your bloodstream. Non-nano zinc oxide sits on the surface, where it belongs. But zinc alone can be drying. That’s where tallow comes in. Its fatty acid profile mirrors human sebum, delivering moisture and vitamins A, D, K, and E while zinc handles protection.

We source our tallow from grass-fed, pasture-raised U.S. cows and wet-render the suet from liver and kidney fat. Combined with coconut oil, mango butter, and beeswax for staying power. Formulated by a PhD scientist who believes outdoor protection and skin health aren’t mutually exclusive.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tallow sun balm?
Tallow sun balm is a mineral formula that combines grass-fed beef tallow with 13% non-nano zinc oxide. The zinc sits on the skin surface as a physical mineral barrier while the tallow base delivers vitamins A, D, E, and K. It's a natural alternative to chemical-based outdoor products. Learn more about why beef tallow works so well on skin.
Is this sun balm reef-safe?
Yes. Contains no oxybenzone or octinoxate — the two chemicals most harmful to coral reefs. Our non-nano zinc oxide formula is considered reef-safe by current environmental standards.
What is non-nano zinc oxide?
Zinc oxide particles larger than 100 nanometers. Unlike nano-sized particles, non-nano zinc oxide stays on the skin surface rather than being absorbed. This is what creates the physical mineral barrier.
Will this leave a white cast?
Minimal. The tallow and mango butter base helps zinc oxide blend more smoothly than water-based mineral formulas. A slight tint may be visible on very dark skin tones but absorbs with rubbing.
How is a tallow sun balm different from chemical formulas?
Chemical formulas use synthetic filters (oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate) that absorb into the skin. Our tallow sun balm uses non-nano zinc oxide that sits on top of the skin as a physical mineral barrier. The grass-fed tallow base adds deep nourishment that most mineral formulas completely lack. For more on synthetic ingredients to watch out for, read our science-based guide to skincare ingredients to avoid.
What are the full ingredients?
Grass-fed tallow, mango butter, non-nano zinc oxide (13%), organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, organic jojoba oil, vitamin E, vanilla essential oil. Nothing else.
