Ancestral Cosmetics Tallow Sun Balm is created for those moments in the sun that you just don’t want to miss out on.
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.
Non-nano Zinc Oxide acts as a physical barrier in sun care and because of its non-nano nature, it is not absorbed in the skin but it sits on the skin and reflects, refracts and to some extent, absorbs UV rays. Our formulation contains 20% Zinc Oxide.
100% Grass-Fed Beef Tallow aka the best moisturiser in the world. It restores and retains the skin's natural moisture and offers unprecedented benefits for the skin. It deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin.
Cocoa Butter is natural butter extracted from cacao beans growing on the cacao trees. It is one of the best natural ingredients to use in sun care being rich in Vitamin E which is a powerful antioxidant protecting the skin from oxidative damage. Due to its fatty acid content, it is deeply hydrating and it prevents the skin from drying out.
Olive Oil has been used for thousands of years in sun care. It contains antioxidants, including Vitamin E and polyphenols, which help keep the skin moisturized and protected.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil is known for its ability to naturally absorb UVA and UVC rays so it’s perfect to use in suncare. It 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.
Sweet Almond Oil is a deeply moisturising oil packed with vitamins and antioxidants E and K to keep your skin protected and hydrated in the sun.
Vitamin E - our Tallow Sun Balm is additionally enriched with the powerful antioxidant Vitamin E to offer full-blown protection while in the sun. This powerful antioxidant can stop or reverse the damage free radicals cause to cells in our skin. The body stores Vitamin E in the skin in both the outer epidermis and the deeper dermis layers and applying it on the skin means higher protection and reduced inflammation.

Let customers speak for us
This stuff is fantastic! I use it on my face and hands. since this is the unscented version, there is a slight tallow smell when first applied, but that quickly goes away. It has made my skin so soft and gotten rid of my dry patches. Even my sister noticed and asked me what I was doing differently!! She took my hand and looked at it because she said she noticed how the light was reflecting off of it. I said it’s the tallow balm!!
I was hesitant to try a new product for my face, especially at the price point this is at. I have been using this for a full month now, and have used maybe 1/6 of the jar. Seriously a tiny tiny amount (pea size) goes a long way, the moisturizing benefits are insane. Very emollient, does not leave me greasy, I live in Alaska and it is dry as heck here in the winter. This has been a game changer for me and my dry skin. Have definitely noticed a difference in the overall appearance and health of my skin, I can go without wearing foundation now which is incredible. I have noticed great glow, healthy complexion, chin/jawline acne has pretty much disappeared. I am a lifetime buyer now and definitely excited to look for body products. For reference I am 38, female, very dry and hormonal skin. Buy buy buy this stuff. I will easily get months out of one jar, so the price is absolutely worth it
Love your products but ordered this originally for my 9 year old she licks her lips and nothing works ! She has sore broken lips so we thought this would help as she can take her pot into school ! And it does all cleared up and she loves the feel taste and smell of it ! I’ve been using it makes your lips so soft and it will defo be an all round staple for us now ! Amazing 10/10 my mum has just ordered some and your tallow cream for her hands too !she uses it morning with tallow balm for skin and couple of times in school and of a evening and it cleared her lips up in about 3 days x
First of all I want to thank Mihael for the absolute best costumer service, as I firstly purchased the ‘Unscented Tallow and Honey Balm’ and didn’t work for the type of issue on my face. However he offered me their ‘Clarifying Cream’ with no extra charge, and I’m absolutely thankful for that.
I’ve attached a compilation of how my face has looked throughout these years, nothing would work for me, I’ve spent thousands and I swear nothing would work, there was always a breakout, itchiness, etc. Second compilation are photos from this week some of them on direct sunlight, I cannot put into words how different I feel and look. Still have some spots due to many years of picking my face but how quickly these spots are fading is astonishing. Thanks for this cream.
Long story short, I SEVERLEY damaged my skin barrier by overusing topical actives to the point my skin burned with anything applied. After deciding to go back to the bare minimum and only tallow as my day/night product and we have healing!!! Not perfect by any means,but better than it was 2 months ago. Let this be a visual reminder to not be afraid of smile, primal, but effective. Thank you all, and thank you unscented honey tallow!
My girl and I love all the products. The original honey and tallow balm works wonders, quickly. She’s obsessed with that one. I’m obsessed with the tanning oil. The sun screen balm with tallow and zinc is wonderful for the face and absorbs nicely. We just ordered the new black seed oil clarifying cream and are excited to add it to our skin care regime. Point is, we love this company and their all natural products! Tallow for the win.
Me and my husband have been looking for natural skin care and oral health. This product does not disappoint. I have chronic dry lips and the lip balm is amazing. The face cream smells great! And the sun balm works on our 4 year old daughter!!!!
It took two weeks for my skin to adjust to the Tallow balm, no it didn't completely magically resolve my hormonal acne instantly but it has made it SO MUCH BETTER! This works better than my retinol without fading my freckles. It also got rid of my acne scarring faster than Retinol and made my smile lines shallower in only a month. I love this product and recommend it to all my gals with difficult skin.
I love this product so much. My rosacea is calming and my skin feels plump and healthy. I’m 53 1/2!!! I use this morning and night on my face and décolleté.
It smells so good too!!! I will purchase over and over!!!!
I’ve been searching and searching for a moisturizer that keeps my face hydrated and dewy all day and this is the stuff right here. I’ve tried every cream from Sephora to Pharmacy Store but nothing quite did the job perfectly I always ended up having to re add or having to just deal with dryness on the skin but only the smallest amount keeps my face and body so moisturized. I’m obsessed with this I use it everywhere I see any dryness on the skin but mainly my face has never felt and looked this great. I am totally a forever customer.
I wanted to start off by saying, without sounding overly dramatic: this product has changed my life SO much. I am truly in love, and I have only used the whipped beef tallow for about 7 days now.
As someone who not only suffers from hormonal imbalances, but who is also chronically stressed with extremely high cortisol levels. Nothing has even worked for my acne. I’ve been prescribed medications by providers, creams, washes, pills. I’ve tried all the expensive and over hyped skincare products. And nothing has worked. Cystic acne is truly painful, and beyond frustrating.
My skin has always been my biggest insecurity. And after hearing about beef tallow I figured “why not?” And again, it’s only been day seven. And my skin looks and feels phenomenal.
So I just wanted to send the deepest and most sincere thank you so so so much.
I will forever be buying this product. This company has really kicked me in the rear end to start making an honest effort about using natural products.
Oh my gosh this stuff is amazing. I’ve been getting compliments on my skin since I began to use it. I use it daily and I like to be generous with it. My skin feels soft and silky and I have this glow now. I know I’ll be a life long user. In fact have been telling my co workers about it. And my sisters also began to use it. I have not even touched any of my other moisturizers since the tallow. Only time I use my regular moisturizer is when I wear makeup as I don’t want my skin to appear oily. Love this product. Thank you to its makers. ♥️
I have been using the balm for about 3 weeks, I am very satisfied with this product so far. My skin feels hydrated, smoother and chin acne is clearing up.
Honestly I hadn’t expected to be THIS in love with the tallow balm- I broke out in terrible hormonal acne after I stopped breastfeeding & having tried ALL the expensive creams in the market, I decided to give tallow a go. Within days EVERY breakout was gone, & now the scarring is beginning to fade too. I cannot wait to try their face cleanser when it is out! I’m also purchasing more balms to give to friends and family.
The tallow cream is fantastic! I’ve been keen for a while on trying tallow for my skin so when I seen an Irish brand using Irish tallow from our many grass fed cows, it’s been a match from the start. Glad to say this will be my only skincare product that I’ll use from now on. Only thing you need really. Looking forward to watching this brand grow, couldn’t recommend it enough! :)

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.
