FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
What SPF is Sun Balm?
Because our product was not officially tested for exact SPF we cannot claim any SPF on it. But to give you some idea, our Sun Balm is formulated with 20% Zinc Oxide and every 1% Zinc Oxide is equivalent to around 1,5 SPF units so our Sun Balm should offer protection equivalent to that of 30 SPF factor. Keep in mind that the balm should be reapplied every two hours and after swimming or intense activity to maintain its effectiveness.
When should I use Sun Balm?
We believe that the sun is one of the most important human needs and it’s required for optimal health. A healthy lifestyle, a proper diet without seed oils, eating foods high in vitamins A, E and C, gradual exposure to the sun and respectful sun behaviour should be enough for most people to never burn or need any type of sunscreen.
But there are times when you have to or want to spend more time in the sun and when sun protection is needed. We recommend using Tallow Sun Balm for those days when you cannot avoid prolonged sun exposure. Use it in combination with other protection like hats and white clothing.
How to use Sun Balm?
Apply generously to your face and body 30 minutes before sun exposure.
For prolonged sun exposure reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or intense activity. This is physical sun protection so generous amounts and regular reapplication is needed to prevent sunburn. For even better protection use hats and white clothing.
Is it leaving a white cast?
Every sun product formulated with this amount of non-nano zinc oxide will leave some level of white cast and that’s inevitable. We have formulated it to be gliding and easily melted to the skin so the white cast is less visible.
To minimise the white cast, apply in a couple of thinner layers by gently massaging it into the skin until it’s fully absorbed.
Can I use it with Tanning Oil?
Yes, you can combine and layer Sun Balm and Tanning Oil.
If in a strong sun and want to protect your skin from sunburn, apply Sun Balm first and let it absorb into the skin. Then apply Tanning Oil over Sun Balm.
If tanning is your priority, apply Tanning Oil first and after appropriate tanning time (according to your personal sun tolerance) apply Sun Balm for protection.
