Description
Sun Balm is our simple answer to long days outside. Made with grass fed tallow, lightweight oils, and a high concentration of non nano zinc oxide, it creates a mineral barrier on the skin while keeping it nourished and comfortable. There are no chemical filters or unnecessary fillers. Just a rich, concentrated balm that goes on smooth and stays put.
Unlike watered down lotions, this formula is intentionally thicker and more conditioning. It leaves a light white layer on the skin, a visible sign of the zinc at work. As you wear it, your skin feels protected, not dried out or tight, making it ideal for everything from everyday use to extended time in the sun.
We make this the same way we make everything at Moose’s Tallow. Slow, small batch, and built around ingredients we trust on our own family. It is a straightforward, honest product designed for real life outside.

Truth

Why I Started Making Tallow Skincare
Hi, my name is Brian, though around here I don’t mind being called Moose.
I’ve learned most of what I know about skincare from the women in my life, especially my wife and our four daughters, but Moose’s Tallow has truly been a full family project from the beginning.
I started making tallow skincare after a serious health scare forced me to rethink everything I put in my body. Once I eliminated processed foods and focused on real ingredients, another question came up: if what we eat matters that much… what about what we put on our skin?
With a busy home full of people I love, that question mattered a lot. When my daughters told me they were already using tallow for skincare, I decided to learn how to make it myself.
What began as a small project to make better skincare just for my family to bless them eventually turned into something much bigger.
