SUN Tallow Balm is a natural tallow-based sunscreen with a mineral UV filter. It provides daily UV protection for the face and body while nourishing the skin with natural ingredients.
The basis of the lotion's sun protection is the natural mineral, zinc oxide, which forms a physical barrier on the skin, reflecting and scattering UV rays. Combined with our tallow, which is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients, we provide natural, non-toxic and chemical-free skin protection against sun damage.
SUN Tallow Balm is a natural way to protect the skin from overexposure to UV light. At the same time, it provides the skin with nourishment, hydration and cares for its health and well-being. Zinc oxide also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and protective properties.
SUN Tallow Balm will perfectly support the skin in cases of eczema, psoriasis, nappy rash and acne. We also recommend it for sports people for topical use to dry up and prevent minor wounds and irritations.
Although our balm has not been tested for SPF (Sun Protection Factor), we estimate that its protection corresponds to a value of 20-30 SPF (based on the estimation that with every 1% of zinc oxide in the product, you get a protection of 1-1.5 SPF). The whiter the skin after application of the balm, the higher the protection obtained, so a slight white tint to the skin after application is a desirable effect.
In addition, the literature indicates estimated SPF values for tallow in the range of 4-6 and also various values and properties as potential UV filters for the other oils used in the lotion; olive oil, avocado pulp oil and raspberry seed oil.
For best results, apply a small amount of balm to exposed skin before sun exposure, reapply every 2 hours, or as needed.
Note: store in a shaded area, balm may dissolve when exposed to high temperatures.
