🌿 Full Ingredient List

Grass-Fed Tallow, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, Aloe Vera Gel, Shea Butter

Just four clean, effective ingredients. Nothing hidden. Nothing harmful.

Why These Ingredients?

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (20-25%): The gold standard in natural sun protection. This mineral creates a physical barrier on your skin that reflects and scatters UV rays. Non-nano particles (larger than 100 nanometers) stay on the skin's surface and don't penetrate into the bloodstream—making it the safest choice for your health and the environment.

Why non-nano matters: Unlike nano zinc particles found in many sunscreens, non-nano zinc won't absorb into your body or harm marine ecosystems. It's reef-safe and recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin, babies, and pregnancy.

Grass-Fed Tallow: The perfect base for mineral sunscreen. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow nourishes skin while helping the zinc oxide spread smoothly and evenly. Creates a water-resistant barrier without synthetic chemicals. Biocompatible with your skin for superior absorption of beneficial nutrients.

Aloe Vera Gel: Cooling, soothing botanical that hydrates and calms sun-exposed skin. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Helps prevent sunburn and supports skin healing. Lightweight texture helps the sunscreen blend smoothly.

Shea Butter: Deeply moisturizing African butter that prevents dryness from sun exposure. Contains natural SPF (6-10) for added protection. Rich in vitamins A and E to support skin health. Creates a protective, water-resistant barrier.

How to Use

Application: Apply generously to all exposed skin 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Rub in thoroughly until evenly distributed. A slight white tint is normal and indicates proper coverage.

Reapplication: Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. For extended sun exposure, reapply more frequently.

Amount: Use approximately 1 teaspoon for face and neck, 1 tablespoon for each arm, and 2 tablespoons for torso. Don't skimp—adequate coverage is essential for protection.

Pro Tips:

🌟 Warm between hands before applying for easier blending
🌟 Apply in sections and blend thoroughly to avoid white streaks
🌟 Safe to use on face as a daily moisturizer with SPF
🌟 Layer under makeup for sun protection
🌟 Store in a cool place—may soften in hot cars or direct sun
🌟 Patch test first if you have very sensitive skin

SPF & Protection Level

Our formula provides broad-spectrum protection equivalent to SPF 30-40, depending on application thickness. The non-nano zinc oxide creates a physical barrier that blocks approximately 95-97% of UVB rays and provides excellent UVA protection.

Perfect For

Daily facial sun protection, beach and pool days, outdoor sports and activities, babies and children (6 months+), pregnancy and breastfeeding, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin (non-comedogenic), anyone seeking reef-safe sunscreen, those avoiding chemical sunscreens.

Why Choose Mineral Over Chemical Sunscreen?

Chemical sunscreens (oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone) absorb into your bloodstream and have been linked to hormone disruption, coral reef damage, and skin irritation.

Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on top of your skin and physically block UV rays. They work immediately, don't absorb into your body, and are safe for sensitive skin and marine life.

Our non-nano zinc oxide is the safest, most effective mineral sunscreen ingredient available.

Reef-Safe & Ocean-Friendly

🌊 No oxybenzone or octinoxate (banned in Hawaii and other regions)
🌊 Non-nano zinc won't harm coral reefs or marine life
🌊 Biodegradable, natural ingredients
🌊 Safe for swimming in oceans, lakes, and rivers
🌊 Protecting your skin shouldn't harm the planet

What Makes This Different?

Most natural sunscreens use water as a base, requiring synthetic emulsifiers and preservatives. Our tallow-based formula is concentrated protection—no fillers, no water, no compromises. The result is a sunscreen that protects AND nourishes, leaving your skin healthier after sun exposure, not drier.
