Untamed Tallow Moisturizing Balm + SPF - 2oz

Grass-fed, grass-finished tallow is a non-comedogenic, nutrient dense moisturizer that is extraordinarily compatible with our skin due to its chemical similarity to our skin's natural oils (aka sebum). Tallow won't clog pores or compete for space thanks to its biocompatible fatty acid composition. Tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, & K, and high concentrations of oleic, palmitic, stearic, and conjugated linoleic acids. These fatty acids have moisturizing, hydrating, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Non-nano Zinc Oxide is a natural mineral sunscreen that creates a barrier to UV radiation emanating from the sun. Despite the misconception that it reflects radiation, zinc oxide works similarly to chemical sunscreens by absorbing UVA and UVB rays. By applying a layer of zinc oxide to the skin, you create a physical barrier to the sun's rays with no harmful chemical absorption. Non-nano means the particle size is over 100nm, making it reef-safe and skin-safe. Our zinc oxide is specially formulated to provide maximum UV cover without the white ghostly appearance other mineral sunscreens can give to the skin.

We use only Golden Jojoba oil, which is cold pressed and unrefined to preserve the chemical compounds that give this popular skincare ingredient its exceptional properties. As a noncomedogenic humectant, emollient, and occlusive, Jojoba oil is a moisturizing marvel for all types of skin – it not only hydrates the skin, but balances, repairs, and protects without clogging the pores. The chemical makeup of Jojoba oil is remarkably similar to sebum, the oil your skin naturally produces, which allows the body to readily make use of it. The body uses Jojoba oil to increase or decrease sebum production, increase collagen synthesis, replenish ceramides, and restore the skin’s natural barriers. Jojoba oil is safe for all skin types and contains even more beneficial compounds like antimicrobial iodine, anti-inflammatory vitamin E, and antioxidant vitamin B complex.

Vitamin E oil is a powerful antioxidant, which helps fight oxidative damage in skin caused by UV overexposure. Vitamin E oil also plays an important part in extending the shelf life of our tallow balm by fighting oxidation.
