Does tallow sunscreen actually work?
Yes, when it is paired with a mineral UV filter. Tallow alone does not block UV rays. Our tallow sunscreen combines nourishing grass-fed tallow with 25% non-nano zinc oxide to deliver broad-spectrum SPF 30 and SPF 50 protection that is tested and reef safe.
Can beef tallow be used as sunscreen on its own?
No. Beef tallow moisturizes and supports the skin barrier but has no reliable SPF, so it cannot protect you from sunburn by itself. Always use a sunscreen with zinc oxide, like ours, for real broad-spectrum coverage.
What SPF and active ingredient do your tallow sunscreens use?
They use 25% non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral filter, in SPF 30 and SPF 50 options. Zinc oxide sits on top of skin and reflects UVA and UVB rays, and our anti-white-cast formula blends in without the heavy white residue mineral sunscreens are known for.
Is tallow sunscreen reef safe and non-toxic?
Yes. Our formulas skip oxybenzone and octinoxate, so they are reef conscious and ocean friendly. They are also fragrance-free and seed oil free, which makes them a clean, non-toxic choice for sensitive skin, kids, and babies.
Which tallow sunscreen is right for me?
For face and everyday wear choose Everyday SPF 30 or Face and Body SPF 50, for sweat and water choose Sports Sunscreen, for little ones choose Kids and Babies, and for lips choose the SPF 25 Lip Jelly.
