Sun Care Rooted in Ancestral Wisdom

This is not just a balm. It’s a daily skin ritual inspired by the elements.

Our Bison Tallow Sun Balm blends non-nano zinc oxide with grass-fed, pasture-raised bison tallow, forming a protective mineral shield while deeply nourishing your skin.

Infused with a synergistic blend of raspberry seed oil, carrot seed oil, calendula-infused jojoba, and sea buckthorn berry oil, this balm soothes, hydrates, and restores — before, during, and after sun exposure.

Skin cushioning, not heavy. Bison tallow’s skin-mimicking lipids help support the skin’s moisture barrier for a comfortable, conditioned feel.


Soft, satiny finish. Zinc oxide (non-nano) is used here as a cosmetic mineral that lends the balm its signature pale tint and refined slip.


Lightweight, quick set. Arrowroot tempers richness for a clean finish, while a touch of cacao gives a subtle, natural tint.


Botanical comfort. Raspberry, carrot, and sea buckthorn oils bring antioxidant-rich plant goodness that keeps skin feeling supple after time outdoors.


Cooling glide. Aloe and jojoba/MCT add light emollience for a fresh, soothed feel.


Lasting nourishment. Raw shea butter and vitamin E create a gentle cushion that helps reduce moisture loss.


Grounded aroma. Blue tansy, frankincense, and lavender deliver an earthy-calm scent that rounds out your outdoor ritual.

How to use

Before sun: Warm a pea-size amount between fingertips and smooth onto face or body as the last step of your routine.

After sun: Re-apply to comfort and nourish skin after time outdoors.

Pro tip: Layer over damp skin for extra slip. For sun protection, use a separate broad-spectrum SPF.

FAQ

Is this a sunscreen?

This balm is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral that physically blocks UVA and UVB rays, but because we have not gone through the FDA’s drug approval process, we do not label it as a “sunscreen.” Think of it as a daily sun defense balm that protects and nourishes the skin without synthetic filters.

Will it leave a white cast?

No chalky finish here. We've carefully balanced zinc oxide with arrowroot and a touch of organic cacao powder for a smooth, naturally tinted blend that disappears into most skin tones. For very deep tones, we recommend warming the balm in your hands and applying in layers.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Every ingredient in this formula was chosen for biocompatibility, low comedogenicity, and skin barrier support. Bison tallow, jojoba oil, and MCTs are known to mimic the skin’s own sebum, helping it heal and rebalance — especially if it's been overexposed to sun, wind, or water.

Can I use it on my face and body?

Absolutely. While originally designed for the face, it works beautifully anywhere you need protection or after-sun recovery — shoulders, hands, neck, even lips. A little goes a long way.

Will it feel greasy or oily?

No. This balm has a velvety, dry-touch finish thanks to lightweight oils like MCT and jojoba, as well as finely milled arrowroot powder. It sinks in quickly while still creating a breathable, protective barrier on the skin.

Is this reef-safe and ocean-friendly?

Yes. We use non-nano zinc oxide, which does not dissolve into the water or damage marine life like chemical sunscreens can. The formula is also free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, preservatives, and synthetic fragrances.

What does it smell like?

Subtle and grounding. You’ll notice a gentle herbal-floral scent with earthy undertones — thanks to frankincense, blue tansy, and lavender essential oils. No synthetic fragrances are used.

How long does one jar last?

Each 1.7 oz jar typically lasts 1 to 2 months with daily facial use. A little goes a long way, especially when warmed between your fingertips before applying.

How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The amber glass jar protects the product, but natural formulas do best out of extreme heat.

Bison

The Gold Standard in Skin Nutrition

Our grass-fed bison tallow isn’t just an ingredient — it’s a return to the wisdom of nature. Sourced from regeneratively raised animals and gently rendered in small batches, it delivers skin-compatible lipids and fat-soluble vitamins your skin craves. Unlike conventional beef tallow, bison is lighter, purer, and absorbs more quickly — leaving your skin nourished, never greasy.

Made for the Sun, Built for Recovery

This is your shield and salve — designed for those who live outdoors. Our Bison Tallow Sun Balm merges the protective power of non-nano zinc oxide with the regenerative richness of tallow and antioxidant-loaded botanicals. It guards against UV damage while nourishing deeply with each application. Whether you're hiking, swimming, or simply living under open skies, this balm is your companion for radiant, resilient skin.

  • Featherlight Shield with a Velvet Finish

    Our balm glides on smooth and absorbs effortlessly, leaving skin protected — not greasy. The finish is soft, semi-matte, and breathable, ideal for hot days and outdoor movement. Naturally tinted with cacao and arrowroot, it blends in easily while subtly evening the skin’s tone.

  • Sun-Smart Nutrition for Your Skin

    Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide and a curated blend of raspberry seed, carrot seed, jojoba, and sea buckthorn oils, this balm defends, soothes, and replenishes your skin before, during, and after sun exposure. Powered by grass-fed bison tallow, it delivers bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, and K — essential nutrients for barrier repair and post-sun recovery.

  • Regenerative Ingredients, Reverent Craft

    Our bison tallow comes from small-scale, pasture-raised herds raised on regenerative farms — no hormones, no antibiotics. Every jar is blended in stainless steel vessels in small batches on the west side of Los Angeles, free of microplastics, synthetic preservatives, and greenwashing. We honor the cycle of nature — from soil to skin.
