The Problem

Most Sunscreens Protect Your Skin. But What's Getting Into It?

Most drugstore sunscreens rely on chemical UV filters that absorb into your skin to work. The FDA has asked manufacturers for more safety data on many of these filters, and its own studies found some of them in the bloodstream after normal use. Kids go through a lot of sunscreen every summer, and their small bodies have more skin surface for their size. That's why so many parents are reading labels more closely.

Common ingredients you’ll often see:

OxybenzoneAbsorbed into the bloodstream in FDA testing; banned in Hawaii for reef safety
OctinoxateAlso banned in Hawaii over reef concerns
HomosalateLimited to lower concentrations in Europe
Synthetic FragranceA common trigger for sensitive and baby skin
AvobenzoneAlso found in the bloodstream in FDA testing

The answer isn't skipping sunscreen. It's choosing one made with ingredients you'd actually recognize.

Chemical filters that absorb into your skin

Our Solution

Real SPF 50 Protection. Ingredients You Can Actually Pronounce.

Our sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide, the mineral filter the FDA has proposed as safe and effective, which sits on your skin to block UVA and UVB rays. Then we blend it with grass-fed tallow, so it moisturizes while it protects and rubs in without the chalky, greasy feel of most mineral sunscreens.

What's inside, and why it's there:

Grass-Fed Beef TallowRich in skin-loving fats, so skin feels soft, not stripped
Non-Nano Zinc OxideBroad-spectrum SPF 50 protection that sits on top of skin
AloeSoothes skin after a long day outside
Jojoba OilHelps it glide on smoothly, even on squirmy kids
BeeswaxHelps it stay put through sweat and water

These ingredients have been used and trusted for generations. Because good skincare doesn't have to be complicated,  It just has to work well with your skin.

Mineral filters that sit on top of your skin

Simple & Powerful
Rooted in Nature

Our tallow-based essentials are made with simple ingredients, for everyday use.

Why tallow

Built on tallow, not fillers.

Most sunscreens are built on a base of emulsifiers and fillers. Ours is built on grass-fed tallow.

Tallow's fats are similar to the oils your skin makes on its own, so it absorbs easily and leaves skin feeling soft instead of coated. We pair it with non-nano zinc, which stays on the surface where sun protection belongs.

Common questions

Does it smell like beef?
No. Our tallow is purified, so there's no meaty scent.
Will it feel greasy?
It absorbs like a lotion, not a balm.
Is it gentle enough for kids?
Our Baby SPF 50 is made for sensitive skin, 6 months+.
