It's no secret Tallow is great for the skin in a number of use-cases.
it's also no secret that conventional sunscreens are a toxic mish-mash of chemicals scientifically shown to harm our health and the environment.
I don't want to bore you with the details, but just look up Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, Octocrylene and their potentially nasty effects on the environment, and your hormones.
From allergies, to hormone disruption, from free radical generation to coral reef damage!
It's clear many conventional sunscreen ingredients might provide more harms than benefits.
If we truly care about the environment, surely we shouldn't be using chemicals that harm us and our environment?
So what is the solution?
How can we tan safely and enjoy all the benefits of the sun?
Is there a safe sunscreen solution that doesn't harm us or the environment?
Yes - there is!
Firstly, we need to be in the sun at the right times and right amounts to build up our "solar callus".
We can do this by exposing ourselves to morning and evening sunlight, which contains almost exclusively red and infrared light, priming our body for sun exposure when it's at its strongest.
Secondly, we can use safe MINERAL-BASED sunscreens, which use compounds like non-nano zinc oxide to safely deflect some of the sun's UV-B rays, which are strongest during the midday hours.
Mineral based tend to provide broad-spectrum protections against both UV-A and UV-B rays.
They're also less irritating, and start working immediately once on the skin and last MUCH LONGER!
Combined with Grassfed Tallow, TanTallow is a safe and effective way to protect skin from the Sun's UV rays and the environment, all whilst keeping skin moisturized!
