Details
Most outdoor balms are loaded with ingredients you can't pronounce and fillers that don't do anything for your skin. This one was built differently.
Our Tallow Sun Shield Balm starts with grass-fed, hand-rendered tallow, slow-processed, never bleached or deodorized, layered with squalane, apricot kernel oil, and pineapple-infused jojoba. It's an anhydrous balm, meaning oil-only and shelf-stable, with a rich but lightweight feel that absorbs without sitting heavy on the skin.
Simple ingredients. Nothing synthetic. Handcrafted in small batches on our Texas farm.
For daily outdoor use. Free from synthetic preservatives, fillers, and chemical processing.

Ingredients Straight From Nature
Made By Hand
Every product is crafted by hand in our kitchen using a slow, intentional process. We don’t rely on large machines or mass production, each batch is made with care to ensure quality, consistency, and a product you can truly trust on your skin.
Grass Fed Tallow
We source our tallow from local, grass-fed and grass-finished cattle right here in our community. This allows us to start with the cleanest, most nutrient-rich foundation, free from added chemicals and aligned with the way skincare was originally made.

Product FAQs
What is Tallow Sun Shield?
Tallow Sun Shield is a lightweight, mineral-based lotion crafted with grass-fed tallow, non-nano zinc oxide, squalane, apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, and beeswax. Designed for daily outdoor use, it helps nourish and support your skin while spending time outdoors.
Is this a sunscreen?
No. Tallow Sun Shield is not marketed or sold as a sunscreen and does not carry an SPF rating.
Our formula contains non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral commonly used in sun care products, but because our product is not manufactured in an FDA-regulated sunscreen facility, we do not make sunscreen or SPF claims.
Does it contain zinc oxide?
Yes. Tallow Sun Shield contains non-nano zinc oxide.
Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral ingredient that sits on the surface of the skin and is commonly used in mineral-based sun care products.
What does "non-nano" mean?
Non-nano refers to the size of the zinc oxide particles. Non-nano particles are larger and remain on the surface of the skin rather than being designed to penetrate it.
Many customers specifically seek non-nano zinc oxide because they prefer mineral-based ingredients in their skincare routines.
What does it smell like?
Tallow Sun Shield has a light, naturally sweet scent from vanilla fruit extract and pineapple fruit extract.
The scent is subtle and reminiscent of summer without the use of synthetic fragrances.
Will it leave a white cast?
Because Tallow Sun Shield contains non-nano zinc oxide, some whitening may occur, especially on deeper skin tones or when applied heavily.
For best results, apply in thin layers and massage thoroughly into the skin.
Is it water resistant?
Tallow Sun Shield contains beeswax and an oil-based formula that helps it stay on the skin better than many water-based lotions.
However, it is not tested or labeled as water resistant. We recommend reapplying after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying.
