No—but that’s not its job. The real UV shield here is non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen that sits on top of your skin and physically blocks UVA and UVB rays. Tallow’s role? It helps nourish and support your skin barrier, keeping it healthy, hydrated, and resilient under the sun.

Because it’s the safest and most effective way to block UV rays—without sinking into your bloodstream. Non-nano zinc oxide stays on the surface of your skin, creating a physical barrier against both UVA and UVB rays. It’s reef-safe, gentle on sensitive skin, and doesn’t carry the same health risks as chemical filters.

Tallow has many skin-loving properties. It's full of vitamins A, D, E, and K, all wonderful for skin health. Furthermore, it's similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, so it absorbs well and helps create a healthy skin barrier.

Also, tallow is one of the most environmentally friendly ingredients out there! Grass-fed tallow is produced with no pesticides, no fertilizers, and no industrial processing.

And for those claiming we are contributing to the killing of animals:

No rain forests or land is destroyed (like they are with seed oils).

And in fact, most tallow is thrown away, so by repurposing it, we are minimizing waste.

There is ZERO risk of Mad Cow Disease. We source our tallow from Australia which has no record of the disease.

Additionally, our tallow goes through a rigorous purification process that removes proteins and other impurities.

We source our tallow from regenerative pastures in Australia, where cows are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished and the fields are not sprayed with pesticides. This method restores soil health, captures carbon, and keeps our tallow pure and toxin-free.

The texture is described as a rich, spreadable cream. It leaves a non-greasy and nourishing feel on the skin.

Of course! It's non-greasy and absorbs beautifully into the skin, making it an excellent primer for makeup.It also does not interfere with your routine, such as vitamin C or moisturizer treatment (in fact, our product does make a good moisturizer too)!

Sky and Sol sunscreen is specially formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. In fact, tallow closely resembles the structure of the oils naturally produced by our skin, so it's readily absorbed and extremely beneficial. However, everyone's skin is different. We recommend doing a patch test before trying any new cosmetics.

We recommend reapplying every 2 hours during sun exposure. If you're swimming or sweating, reapply immediately after towel drying. It provides up to 90 minutes of protection in water.

The expiry date is printed on the back of the product. It has a shelf life of three years when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Since we don’t use synthetic preservatives, the freshness of the product depends on storage conditions. Once opened, we recommend using it within 12 months for the best experience.
