Tallow Sunscreen

Directions: Apply generously to face and/or body 30 minutes before sun exposure. and reapply every 2 hours after swimming or sweating.

I’ve provided approximate SPF values for each ingredient, however, 1+1 will not always equal 2 on a SPF scale.

Ingredients and benefits:

Grass-fed/grass-finished tallow- Tallow is very similar to the sebum found on our skin. It is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K, which absorb easily and stimulate collagen production and skin cell renewal. These vitamins also deliver antioxidants to shield the skin from free radical damage and prevent signs of aging. Tallow has an SPF of approximately 4.

Non-nano Zinc Oxide- Acts as a physical barrier in sun care. Non-nano zinc oxide specifically doesn’t penetrate the skin due the larger particle size. This keeps the zinc oxide where you want it, on your skin, protecting it from the full spectrum of the sun’s rays. The amount of zinc oxide in this recipe equates to about 50 SPF.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil- Naturally absorbs UVA and UVC rays. It also has a high content of Vitamin E and Vitamin A and is rich in beta-carotene. It protects and prevents oxidative damage on the skin. It has an SPF rating of approximately 30 SPF.

Vitamin E- Absorbs the energy from ultraviolet (UV) light. Therefore, it plays an important role in photo-protection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin.

Frankincense Oil_- increases the skin's natural radiance and protects it from environmental damage. reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production. Also protects against aging that is related to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun

Beeswax- Helps to retain moisture, protect against the sun's harmful rays, and reduce inflammation.
