Not all sun care is created equal. While conventional sunscreens crowd the shelves with big promises, many come with a hidden cost: harsh ingredients, synthetic filters, and irritating chemicals. We took a different route. Our Sun Balm is a mineral-based, tallow-infused alternative that protects while nourishing.
This is more than a product comparison. It’s a conversation about what your skin truly needs to feel safe, calm, and supported under the sun.
The Problem with Conventional Sunscreen
Mainstream sunscreens are often filled with ingredients your skin doesn’t want. Chemical UV filters, alcohols, and artificial fragrances may provide SPF coverage, but they can:
-
Disrupt the skin barrier
-
Trigger sensitivity or breakouts
-
Leave behind residue or stinging eyes
-
Contain questionable additives
These formulas are built for fast absorption and mass appeal not for skin health. And for many, they don’t feel good to wear. Greasy, synthetic, and over-perfumed, they can make sun care feel like a chore.
Our Approach: Skin First, Always
Our Sun Balm is our answer to that frustration. It’s sun protection that respects your skin. Built with mineral defence and nutrient-dense tallow, it gives your skin what it needs without the things it doesn’t.
Our balm:
-
Creates a physical barrier using non-nano minerals
-
Reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them
-
Nourishes the skin while shielding it
-
Feels smooth and breathable on all skin types
This isn’t just another "natural sun balm" it’s a reimagining of what daily sun protection should feel like.
Mineral vs. Chemical: What’s the Difference?
Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them to heat. This process can irritate sensitive skin, especially in hot, humid climates.
Mineral sunscreens like ours sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. They’re effective immediately upon application and less likely to cause irritation.
We chose mineral protection because it:
-
Starts working instantly
-
Doesn’t disrupt hormones
-
Is reef-safe and environmentally sound
Your skin recognises it, responds to it, and thrives with it.
The Power of Tallow
Most sunscreens dry the skin out or leave it feeling coated. Our Sun Balm does the opposite. Thanks to grass-fed tallow, it moisturises as it protects.
Tallow is:
-
Rich in nutrients that mimic the skin’s natural oils
-
Calming for dry, sun-exposed skin
-
Easy to absorb and non-comedogenic
So while it’s shielding your skin from the sun, it’s also feeding it the nourishment it needs to stay strong, supple, and soothed.
For the Whole Family
Our Sun Balm is safe and gentle enough for:
-
Babies and toddlers
-
Sensitive and allergy-prone skin
-
Daily use across all skin tones
It doesn’t leave a ghostly white cast. It doesn’t clog pores. It simply works quietly, consistently, and kindly.
Add it to your routine:
-
As a final step in your morning skincare
-
Before long walks, swims, or outdoor play
-
Under makeup or on bare skin
It becomes a habit, not a hassle.
How to Apply
-
Warm a small amount between fingers
-
Press gently into face, neck, and exposed areas
-
Reapply every few hours or after swimming
It layers well and doesn’t feel sticky. It becomes part of your rhythm, not an extra task.
What Your Skin Actually Needs
Your skin wants simplicity. It wants to be protected, not punished. It needs protection that soothes, not stings.
Our Sun Balm meets that need. As a natural sunscreen, it allows your skin to face the sun without compromise.
It’s not about SPF hype. It’s about skin you feel good in skin that’s nourished, grounded, and cared for even in the heat.
Sun care shouldn’t be about fear. It should be about confidence. Knowing your skin is defended without disruption. Knowing your sunscreen aligns with your values and your biology.
Our Sun Balm is the sun care we always wanted but couldn’t find. So we made it. For you. For your children.
