Are you ready to step up your sun game?

We gathered our sun products into one set for everyone serious about their sun game so you got to try them all and save some coins!

What's included in Sun Set:

1 x Tallow Sun Balm

Made with grass-fed beef tallow and 20% non-nano Zinc Oxide it acts as a physical barrier on the skin by reflecting and refracting UV rays from the skin. It's powered by antioxidants and beta carotenes from our blend of cold-press oils to even further protect your skin from oxidation.

Our Tallow Sun Balm is formulated without any toxic chemicals or chemical filters usually found in sun products. We use only truly natural ingredients, grass-fed tallow, cold-pressed oils and pure essential oils. It is natural, safe and glides perfectly on the skin.

1 x Ancestral Tanning Oil 

Our Tanning Oil is the one product to soak up all the benefits the sun offers, speed up the tanning process and gradually increase your ability to stay in the sun longer.

Inspired by ancient Greeks and Romans who knew how important the sun is for life and health, we formulated oil that will make your tanning even more effective and enjoyable.

Made from a blend of cold-pressed ancient oils and powered by beta carotene power house - carrot extract, our tanning oil will help you tan faster, and help your skin adjust to sun exposure easier by increasing melanin levels in the outer layer of your skin giving you golden tan while soaking up the sun rays.

Our tanning oil is completely natural, made with cold-pressed oils with ZERO toxic chemicals and petroleum!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ - Sun Balm

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 ideas, 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ - Tanning Oil

Why should I use Tanning Oil while tanning?

Tanning oil is made to be used during tanning to speed up the tanning process so you get a nice natural sun tan faster. It also helps the skin to adjust to the tanning process faster so it’s ideal if just starting natural tanning.

The best way to start and adjust to the sun is to tan early in the morning and in the afternoon when the sun is not too strong.

Will Tanning Oil make me bronzed?

Our Tanning Oil has no colouring whatsoever and will not make skin bronzed. It will give a light golden glow on the skin that comes from carrot extract and will go away after the oil is absorbed into the skin.

When to use Tanning Oil?

Use it before tanning and sun exposure. Spray it abundantly into the skin, massage it until absorbed and enjoy tanning. Reapply as needed and as often as you want.

Can I use it with Sun Balm?

Yes, you can combine and layer Sun Balm and Tanning Oil.

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.

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.

Does it offer SPF protection?

No, our tanning oil has no SPF and offers no sun protection at all. It is formulated to speed up the tanning process and will not protect against UV rays. If you need protection when in the strong sun, we recommend using hats and light clothing in combination with Sun Balm.

Can I use it as a body lotion?

Yes, you can use it after tanning as a body lotion or moisturizer though it is best when used as tanning oil.

For calming the skin after sun exposure we recommend Original Tallow & Honey Balm as tallow is soothing and moisturising and will nourish skin.

Best tan I have had in years!

At 58 and with fair skin I am always cautious with the sun. I combined the balm and oil as instructed and have a wonderful glow with no burning, peeling or dry skin on return from holiday. Highly recommended as my skin feels nourished and soft.

Tallow Balm

Me and my girlfriend love this product so much, especially her. I’ve never seen her fall more in love with a cosmetic product I’ve gotten her. We also use the sun balm and tanning oil, which we also love. The tanning oil is amazing. But their main product, the tallow balm is the best we’ve ever found. Wonderful product. Grateful for it every day.

Best product line I've found!!

I've bought both of the tallow and honey balms and loved them both. I decided to try the sun set. I have olive skin and tan fairly easily. Where I live the uv index is usually around 1. I went on vacation and took this with me having never even opened it. The sun balm was kind of a strange texture at first and I was worried it would leave a white film on my skin but it rubbed in and was fine. I wore it the first two days and no burn. The rest of the time I used the tanning spray and loved it. My skin felt moisturized but not greasy. I was a little hesitant to buy because of the price but I'm so glad I did. A little goes a long way so I feel like I'll definitely get my money's worth out of it!
