Sky and Sol Face and Body Sunscreen SPF 30

Yes, we use non-nano zinc oxide in our formulations.

Tallow has many skin-loving properties. It's full of vitamins A, D, E, and K, all wonderful for skin health. Furthermore, it's similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, so it absorbs well and helps create a healthy skin barrier.

Also, tallow is one of the most environmentally friendly ingredients out there! Grass-fed tallow is produced with no pesticides, no fertilizers, and no industrial processing.

And for those claiming we are contributing to the killing of animals:

No rain forests or land is destroyed (like they are with seed oils).

And in fact, most tallow is thrown away, so by repurposing it, we are minimizing waste.

There is ZERO risk of Mad Cow Disease. We source our tallow from Australia which has no record of the disease.

Additionally, our tallow goes through a rigorous purification process that removes proteins and other impurities.

Yes, our tallow is sourced and processed in strict compliance with halal standards.

We use a process called Gentle Rendering (Low-Heat Wet Rendering) to purify our tallow. This method uses only water and mild natural substances like baking soda—no harsh chemicals or toxic solvents like hexane. By keeping the temperature low, we preserve the tallow’s essential nutrients and vitamins while ensuring there’s no lingering beef smell.

The texture is described as a rich, spreadable cream. It leaves a non-greasy and nourishing feel on the skin.

Our sunscreen is water-resistant, meaning it stays on your skin to provide long-lasting protection. If a sunscreen washes off too easily, it might not be doing its job! To remove it effectively, use an oil-based cleanser or a gentle scrub with soap and water.

Of course! It's non-greasy and absorbs beautifully into the skin, making it an excellent primer for makeup.It also does not interfere with your routine, such as vitamin C or moisturizer treatment (in fact, our product does make a good moisturizer too)!

Absolutely! It is formulated to provide broad-spectrum protection, which means it effectively shields your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkling and age spots, while UVB rays can burn your skin. Too much exposure to either can lead to skin cancer. Our active ingredient, non-nano zinc oxide, is a mineral that is highly effective at blocking out both types of harmful rays, keeping your skin safe and healthy under the sun. It's recommended by the FDA due to it's safety and effectiveness.

Sky and Sol sunscreen is specially formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. In fact, tallow closely resembles the structure of the oils naturally produced by our skin, so it's readily absorbed and extremely beneficial. However, everyone's skin is different. We recommend doing a patch test before trying any new cosmetics.

We recommend reapplying every 2 hours during sun exposure. If you're swimming or sweating, reapply immediately after towel drying. It provides up to 90 minutes of protection in water.

Our sunscreen is refined to remove any impurities that may cause insect attraction. In fact, it contains propolis, which might help keep them at bay while you're enjoying the outdoors.

The mixing method, particle size of zinc oxide, and the texture all affect SPF in dramatically different ways. So with homemade sunscreens, you don't know what level SPF you'll get. It's important to know for a fact that you are protected, especially when dealing with life-changing consequences like skin cancer.
