A tallow-based sun block is the perfect way to shield your skin from UV while also getting all the nourishing benefits of tallow. Our Summer Balm is made from rendered grass-fed beef suet, we raise here on our family farm, loaded with Vitamins and Fatty Acids that are essential for skin health, repair, and locking in moisture. Tallow alone acts as a sun-block and by adding non-nano zinc oxide to our Summer Balm we increase the UV protection as zinc oxide creates a longer lasting protective layer scattering UV as it hits your skin. By using natural ingredients our Summer Balm is great for all ages and skin types. Like many other natural sun-blocks, its recommended to reapply every 45 minutes/1 hour or as needed.
Ingredients: Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Olive Oil, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
Available in 3.2oz (Net Wt.) Glass Jars
Heat Exposure
*Whipped Tallow can change in texture if it is exposed to heat. Be aware of this when it comes to shipping in hotter months and climate areas. This product will not "go bad" in the heat but may change the texture of the "whip" into a denser balm, and may become "grainy" do to the tallow crystalizing as it sets back up to slowly. It can easily be cooled quickly in the fridge and then whipped again at home to bring back the original texture!

I love how simple the Summer Balm is. Only using a few natural ingredients and still working to block the sun. I used it on my kids and myself and never got burned, we did have to reapply it every 45 minutes or so, but that's to be expected with any natural sunscreen that does have chemicals in it that lock onto your skin. A little bit goes a long way so reapplying wasn't an issue for us! Will for sure be buying this again next spring/summer!
It applied like butter and worked as well. My forehead and nose were sunburned after 2 days of use. I gave the product away to someone else willing to try it.
I love this stuff - If you're going for quick, non-greasy, invisible application then this is not for you. The benefits of the few ingredients totally outweigh how much you have to rub it in to get it to spread all over and not have much residue showing BUT a little goes a long way and if you don't put too much on one spot at one time there really isn't much white residue at all. It provided ALL DAY coverage for me at the lake all weekend and the smell (unscented) is almost like a lemon cake! The best sunscreen I've ever used and the best set of minimal ingredients which is the most important part to me. I'll definitely be ordering more when this gets low & plan to use it on my newborn next year when he/she is here because it is SO safe unlike all the other sunscreens out there. The other cool thing is I can use it just like lotion, too:)
I like that it is clean, with no dangerous chemicals. Goes on easily. Does not make your skin super white, like many of the zink based sun blocks.
