The Science
Many conventional sunscreens 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 helps provide broad-spectrum sun protection when used as directed. 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.

Questions
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 is a natural alternative to chemical-based outdoor products. Learn more about why beef tallow works so well on skin.
Our formula is made without oxybenzone or octinoxate, two chemical UV filters restricted in some reef-protection regions. We use non-nano zinc oxide and simple skin-conditioning ingredients instead.
Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral ingredient with larger particles that are designed to remain on the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed. We chose it because it is simple, mineral-based, and widely used in outdoor skin care formulas.
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.
Many conventional formulas rely on chemical UV filters, synthetic fragrance, and lightweight fillers. Our balm takes a simpler approach with grass-fed tallow, non-nano zinc oxide, beeswax, butters, and oils that help skin feel moisturized, conditioned, and cared for. For more on synthetic ingredients to watch out for, read our science-based guide to skincare ingredients to avoid.
Our balm contains 13% non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral ingredient widely used in sun care formulas. We have not completed formal SPF testing, so we do not claim an SPF rating. It is best used as a nourishing, mineral-based balm for outdoor skin care and paired with shade, hats, and protective clothing when you’ll be in the sun for long periods.
