Nourish + Defend Your Skin—Naturally. Crafted with purpose and purity, our Tallow Sun Defense is a nutrient-rich face and body cream designed for those long, adventure-filled days under the sun. Using our same beloved unscented tallow base, this version includes 25% non-nano pharmaceutical grade zinc oxide, offering natural mineral support that families and outdoor lovers trust for added protection during sun exposure.

We don’t water down our formulas. Instead, we use 100% certified organic ingredients in generous, skin-beneficial amounts—because your skin deserves nutrients it can actually recognize and use.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Adventure Ready Moisture – Locks in hydration for pool days, sports events, hikes, and hard work in the sun.
  • Bioavailable Nutrients – Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K to support skin repair, balance, and resilience.
  • Earth-Grown – No synthetic SPF chemicals, parabens, or fragrances—just what nature intended.
  • Friendly Friendly Formula – Gentle enough for sensitive skin, kids, and those seeking a cleaner alternative.

Important Note:
This is not labeled or marketed as a sunscreen, and we do not make claims regarding UVA or UVB protection. However, non-nano zinc oxide has a long-standing history of topical use during sun exposure, and is still used by many natural brands for that purpose. Please use your own judgment and reapply as needed during extended sun exposure.

How to Use:
For best results, apply to clean, dry skin before sun exposure. Because our formula is thick and mineral-rich, we recommend one of these two simple methods to help it glide and spread evenly:

  • Option 1: Apply a light base layer of our original Tallow Moisturizer first, then layer the Sun Defense over top.
  • Option 2: Mix one small scoop of the moisturizer and one scoop of Sun Defense in your hands, then apply together.

This helps the zinc oxide blend more smoothly while still giving you full coverage. Massage thoroughly into the skin and reapply as needed—especially after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.

A little goes a long way!

Perfect For:
Beach days, gardening, outdoor sports, camping, hiking, boating, working under the sun, or just keeping your family protected with a cleaner, nutrient-rich option.

No Fillers. No Fragrance. Just Real Ingredients That Work.
Small batch. Family made. Bioavailable. Earth-sourced.

Even just 200 years ago, tallow was a household essential, commonly found in homemade soaps, lotions, and skincare remedies. So, What Changed?

How do I apply the Beef Tallow Body Cream?

Yes, it's good to use on the face as a daily moisturizer or occasional treatment.

What should I look for when buying beef tallow body cream?

1. Check the Ingredients:

Tallow Should Be the Star. Don’t be fooled by products labeled as tallow body cream that are mostly made of cheaper oils like coconut or olive oil. To get the full benefits of tallow, make sure it’s listed as one of the first ingredients on the label.

2. Avoid Hidden “Fragrances”

“Fragrances” might sound harmless, but it’s often a catch-all term for undisclosed chemicals that can irritate your skin. To keep your skincare routine clean and effective, opt for tallow body cream without this vague ingredient.

3. Choose Grass-Fed Tallow for Maximum Benefits

Grass-fed cows produce tallow rich in vitamins and minerals like A, D, E, and K. Unlike grain-fed cows, grass-fed animals are raised on a natural, nutrient-rich diet, which translates into a higher-quality product for your skin.

Investing in a quality tallow cream means choosing a product that’s as pure and effective as possible. By keeping these elements in mind, you can feel confident that your first tallow body cream will truly nourish and heal your skin.
