Why Tallow? Why Now?

Name: The Sun Balm
Rating: 5 (2 reviews)

I didn’t set out to sell skincare. I just wanted something safe enough to use on my kids. Something without seed oils, fragrance, or a 37-letter chemical I had to Google.

So I made my own.

My first tallow balm had just two ingredients — grass-fed tallow and olive oil — and it was the only thing my nephew’s eczema didn’t react to. From there, I started experimenting with simple, clean, food-grade ingredients I already trusted in my kitchen. The results? Better skin. Fewer flare-ups. And a balm I felt good about putting on my kids, my face, and my newborn’s cheeks.

The Sun Balm is your new BFF on those beautiful days spent with Mother Nature. With calendula & chamomile flowers slowly infused into this nourishing balm, it soothes & hydrates while promoting cell regeneration. Combined with ingredients like non-nano zinc oxide and carrot seed oil that bring their own natural SPF factors, The Sun Balm takes your outdoor skin care needs to the next level.

And did you know that non-nano zinc oxide has larger particles that can not be absorbed into your blood stream (unlike regular zinc oxide). It is also environmentally friendly and comes with a natural SPF of 30. Combined with ani-oxidant rich, cell regenerating, collagen boosting carrot seed oil which carries a natural SPF of 38-40, you might be pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this balm really is.

Safe for use on babies, children and those with sensitive skin. For use on both the face and body.

What is tallow & why should I use it?

Tallow is rendered fat from animals. Ours comes from grass-fed cattle. Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, & B12 along with fatty acids. It is deeply nourishing, healing and gentle on our skin as it's fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to ours.

Where does your tallow come from?

Our tallow is locally sourced from grass-fed cattle. We use only suet (fat from around the kidney area) and never trim fat, ensuring our products maintain the highest nutrient profile possible, which is rendered and purified ourselves in our very own kitchen.

Are your products baby & pregnancy safe?

Absolutely! Because we use only the cleanest, purest ingredients and never use essential oils, fillers, preservatives or anything unnatural, our products are all safe, gentle and nourishing for our sweetest little bundles and blessed mamas.

What do you mean when you say "subtle, earthy scent"?

Because we don't use essential oils to add scents to our tallow, any scent that a product has is from infusing it with organic herbs and botanicals. With that said, things like dried chamomile and calendula flowers, along with marshmallow root naturally have an earthy scent and so when products are infused with them they take on a very subtle, earthy scent. Most people say they don't smell anything, but some who are very scent-sensitive can smell the natural scent added through these items.
Natural Texture & Temperature Care

Because our tallow is 100% natural and free from synthetic stabilizers, chemical emulsifiers, or artificial hardeners, it responds directly to the environment just like your skin does.

In the Heat: It may soften, melt, or become slightly grainy if exposed to warm temperatures, and then form hard, little balls upon cooling again.

In the Cold: It will firm up and become more solid in cooler rooms.

How to reset it: If your tallow melts during shipping or in a warm environment, simply give it a quick stir and pop it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to restore its creamy consistency. If it feels too firm, scoop a pea-sized amount and warm it between your palms—it will melt instantly into your skin. Texture shifts are completely normal and never alter the quality or nourishing benefits of the product.

If Your Tallow Gets Wet

If your tallow gets moisture in it, simply leave the lid off for a day or two to ensure the moisture completely evaporates from the tallow before putting the lid back on.

Sensitive Skin Win!
My son (2 yrs old) and my self have used this product and I have all good things to say! A littles goes a long way, it goes on smoothly with no white streaks and leaves our skin feeling so soft too! For myself I burn very easily in the early days of summer, so I was excited to see how well it worked. For many uses now I can say my redheaded self has not burned! Thank you for sharing/creating this product, we will definitely continue to purchase more just like of Something Simple products.

Natural Sun Protection
We took the Sun balm on our BC trip a week ago and I am obsessed! We spent a ton of time in the sun, especially on a particular lake day, and the Sun balm was everything we needed to keep the kids safe in the sun. They were the only ones who applied it and spent a good chunk of the time in the water, never reapplied and they were also the only ones who didn’t burn in comparison to the adults who wore the store bought water resistant sunscreen. 10/10 recommend it!
