• Water-resistant UVA & UVB protection – reapply as needed for sensitive skin and active wear. ∇
• Pure Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is the active sun protective ingredient for a skin-safe sunscreen that sits on top of the skin instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Because of the nature of this mineral-based (NOT chemical-based) sunscreen, a slightly white appearance may occur, but fades away minutes after light application which is thoroughly rubbed in. You may also use a mineral powder makeup on top of this to hide the white appearance if it is too drastic for your skin type.
• Try applying our Vitamin C + E tallow or our Oyster-C solid serum as skin primers before applying sun cream to enhance this sun cream’s UV protection!

Did you know?

• Coral reefs are dying: one main cause hypothesized by marine biologists is the snorkelers’ and scuba divers’ chemical sunscreens.
• Chemical sunscreens actually have been shown to play a role in developing skin cancers… Do your research!

Experience true food for your skin with our real, old-fashioned suet tallow. Our suet tallow is nutrient-dense, farm-fresh, and rendered in-house. Our tallow butters are handmade with carefully curated, local, 100% grass-fed/finished, and pasture-raised suet tallow from cattle – proudly sourced from small family farms here in the USA. NEVER ultra-processed or bleached. These factors are extremely important to ensure the best quality tallow – we do not compromise!

Countless benefits…

• Tallow is an excellent moisturizer used to soothe dry skin. It’s thick enough to handle the toughest rough patches, but light enough to absorb quickly into the skin. High-quality tallow is said to be loaded with the bioavailable forms of vitamins A, D, E and K, plus full of essential fatty acids not commonly found in common modern day skincare. Your skin absorbs these nutrients just like nicotine from a quit-smoking patch – or even a deadly dose of poison from handling a toxic frog. Our skin does utilize external applications – whether good or bad. Consider this the next time you slather chemical-laden lotions on your skin!

• Yes, our tallows are in smaller containers compared to the big bottles of store-bought lotions: a little goes a very long way! The longer you consistently use tallow, the less you will need, as tallow actually helps to balance and regulate your skin – rather than dry it out as most lotions do. This isn’t an advantage for the seller, but it is fantastic for the consumer! Tallow regulates the skin to rely LESS on moisturizers, instead of training it to depend on MORE moisturizers over time. Therefore, tallow IMPROVES your skin over time, instead of subtly and slowly making it become dependent upon outside moisture, like chemical lotions do.

• Suet, as opposed to muscle fat, contains a higher level of saturated fatty acids and a triglyceride known as glyceryl tristearate, otherwise called “stearin”. Suet therefore softens and smooths the skin’s surface better than regular tallow fat, while also helping to maintain and protect the skin’s barrier.

• Tallow resembles our natural sebum (skin oil) and absorbs into the skin easily, which helps to balance the skin’s sebum production after a cleanse. Pair this with the fact that high-quality tallow is non-comedogenic (will not clog pores when used correctly) – and you have a skin-match success for any skin type!

• The Vitamin D3 found in tallow induces the expression of antimicrobial peptide genes in human skin and plays a significant role in preventing opportunistic infections.

• Moreover, grass-fed tallow contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). CLA helps skin retain moisture by boosting ceramide synthesis in skin cells; this fortifies the skin barrier and helps to retain moisture in the skin. CLA is a natural ingredient that allows for skin renewal without harsh chemicals or treatments. CLA is naturally anti-inflammatory and may significantly slow signs of skin aging when used consistently for prolonged periods of time.

• Tallow is usually a wasted product that is thrown away after an animal’s carcass has been butchered. Instead we purchase it, which further supports our small farmers. This means that regeneratively farmed tallow products grown on free-range pastures are actually preferred for the environment – when considering the other options that are: not local, highly-processed in factories, and farmed industrially.

• All of the naturally-occurring tallow nutrients in their bioavailable forms are more recognizable to our bodies, which means our bodies can utilize them better in their whole, organic state. This places tallow in a tier above all other skincare ingredients: a long-forgotten skincare secret that was well-known by our ancestors over 150 years ago. Now, we have the skincare science and consumer testimonies to prove it.

Our Ingredients

Suet Tallow

This isn’t just any tallow you can buy online, this is:

• Slowly and carefully hand-rendered in our facility from the farm-fresh raw source

• NEVER bleached or ultra-processed for a “white look”

• 100% grass-fed and grass-finished

• LOCAL small family farm-raised

• SUET is the fat only taken from around the kidneys and organ meats, highly saturated and nutritious

• Whipped and piped into the jar by hand for a more spreadable consistency.△

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

• Water-resistant UVA & UVB protection – reapply as needed for sensitive skin and active wear. ∇

• Pure Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is the active sun protective ingredient for a skin-safe sunscreen that sits on top of the skin instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream.

• Because of the nature of this mineral-based (NOT chemical-based) sunscreen, a slightly white appearance may occur, but fades away minutes after light application which is thoroughly rubbed in.

• You may also use a mineral powder makeup on top of this to hide the white appearance if it is too drastic for your skin type.

Certified Organic Vitamin E

This isn’t your regular (questionable) Vitamin E, this is:

• Only derived from USDA Certified Organic sunflowers – NO soy, wheat, gluten, or synthetic ingredients – there is no other purer Vitamin E on the market.

• Natural Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol) boasts 2X (200%) more skin absorption and bioavailability for our bodies to utilize than synthetic “vitamin e”. The most obvious differences between the two types is where Vitamin E is sourced and they even have different chemical names. “dL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate” (synthetic Vitamin E) comes from petrochemicals. Meanwhile, “d-Alpha Tocopherol” (natural Vitamin E) is made from the natural nutrients of plant oils.

• Perfect to help keep our unprocessed tallow butter shelf-stable longer by dramatically slowing oxidation, rancidity, and UV damage. Unless you want your tallow to have an expiration date of 3-6 months from manufacture date, this ingredient is crucial.

• Wonderful for skincare. Vitamin E is an invaluable asset for skin moisturizers, as it speeds healing and increases moisture-retention for next-level youthfulness.* Vitamin E has also been scientifically shown to prevent the breakdown of collagen.

• An absolute necessity in our tallow butter skincare product for better shelf-stability and beautiful skin…

Top 4 Tips for Beginners:

1. Please keep in mind that scent information found in this product’s scent tab is based on majority feedback.

2. Beginners should educate themselves on the proper application methods for their skin type found here in the directions.

3. Some scents or extra ingredients should not be used on or around sensitive areas or very delicate skin, please follow our tallow butter directions and our company’s general safety policy.

4. Please read our information about beading and inconsistencies from natural tallow below.△

△ Beading & Other Inconsistencies

Farm-fresh suet tallow in it’s raw (unprocessed and natural) state can be compared to farm-fresh raw honey. If you have ever had raw honey crystallize after sitting in your cabinet, the beekeeper probably told you it is doing exactly what that product does naturally, and it can be gently re-heated to go back to a more fluid, consistent texture state. Raw, unprocessed honey still has molecular memory – the compounds tend to draw back into their natural state over time, remembering their original composition. This is the same story with 100% grass-fed whipped farm-fresh suet tallow – except that it beads instead of crystalizes. We have not been able to determine exactly the reasons for beading, whether due to abrupt temperature fluctuations, atmospheric pressures, humidity levels, or additional ingredients: beading is a total mystery we are still trying to pin the precise cause of (and we will probably never be able to). Some tallow jars will bead, while others from the same batch stored in the same location do not! The beekeeper will be able to relate: as some honey jars crystallize, while other jars from the same batch do not. We learned this from having our own honeybees for a few years – it is a natural happening with high-quality products, although inconvenient.

You may also notice that raw natural honey (like farm-fresh tallow) is different in texture, taste, and color at different seasons – even from the same farmer and location. This is because of the seasonal availability of food for the bees and other environmental factors. Again, a very similar thing happens with grass-fed pasture-raised tallow: the texture, scent, and color vary at different seasons – even from the same farmers and locations. These are undetermined factors we have no control over due to the seasonal changes of environments and adapting natural genetics.

Despite these inconsistencies, the end performance and value of the product is still the same! With beading, it takes a few more seconds to massage the product on the skin to melt the beadings, that’s the only inconvenience. The other factors of “imperfections” are always a possibility with all-natural ingredients: affecting their scent, texture, color, and consistency. Since the ingredient is still fitting to the description of “100% grass-fed suet tallow” or “raw natural honey” as per our example – the product still works perfectly naturally and is still functioning exactly as stated and as nature intended. We could add more processed ingredients or chemical emulsifiers to remedy this, but we see this extra step as only compromising the benefits of our farm-fresh, natural, animal-based products to maybe only gain a slightly more consistent texture – it’s not even a guarantee! Just like our natural animal fat soaps will never lather like palm-based detergents, our hand-rendered tallow-based products can’t compare to the artificial consistency of highly processed and industrialized ingredients used in other body products.

Therefore, we feel that it is best to consider these inconsistencies as proof of the integrity of our ingredients, and take pleasure in knowing we are rubbing in a more wholesome skin food a little longer than if the texture, color, or scent was exactly “as-expected” like synthetic or highly processed creams are. In short, we do the best we can with what nature gifts us – we hope that you are able to enjoy a truly superior and natural product for your body, despite any organic inconsistencies!

Don’t settle for anything less than the absolute best for your skin
