Used by humans long before sunscreen existed in a bottle, the combination of tallow and zinc oxide is a formula refined by nature, not by a lab.
Tallow delivers the fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) your skin recognizes as fuel, while non-nano zinc oxide has been scientifically proven to provide full-spectrum UV protection.
Real People, Real Product
Every jar starts with real hands, not machines.
We render grass-fed tallow slowly, in small batches, to preserve its natural nutrients.
From pouring to labeling, everything happens in our New Jersey workspace, no factories, no white-label production, no shortcuts.
You can feel the difference in every jar.
Ingredients you can eat
Only six ingredients. Nothing more, nothing fake.
Grass-fed Beef Tallow
Beef tallow feeds your skin what it actually needs real fats that match your own. It soaks in easily keeping skin soft, smooth, and balanced.
Non-nano zinc oxide
A natural mineral with scientifically proven sun blocking properties. It rests on the surface of your skin where it does it's work.
Jojoba oil
Pressed from desert-grown jojoba seeds, it's structure is nearly identical to your skin's own oils, which is why it absorbs without ever feeling greasy.
beeswax
Beeswax locks in moisture while letting your skin breathe. It’s nature’s barrier, soothing, protective, and packed with trace vitamins.
Frankincense Oil
Helps smooth fine lines and support a calm, even complexion. Not to mention
it smells fantastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy TryTallow in stores?
Yes! TryTallow is the first retail-trusted tallow brand. You can find us in select natural grocery stores like Sprouts, as well as online here.
Is this sunscreen?
No. TryTallow Sun-Balm is a mineral skin balm, not an FDA-registered sunscreen. We don't make SPF claims, and you shouldn't rely on it as a substitute for sunscreen.
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It may soften in warmer temps (80°F+), but that doesn’t affect its quality.
What skin issues can TryTallow help with?
Our customers use it daily to:
- Calm redness and irritation.
- Balance oil production and prevent breakouts.
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkle.
- Deeply hydrate dry or cracked skin
How long until I notice results?
Some people feel immediate relief (especially with dryness and irritation). Visible improvements like smoother, clearer skin often show within 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
How often should I apply it?
Whenever you expect long periods of sun exposure. Reapplication should be every 4-6 hours.
How many uses are in each jar?
Our 4oz balm typically lasts 1–2 months with daily use.
Are there any restrictions?
For external use only. Safe for all ages, including kids. If you’re allergic to beef, beeswax, or specific essential oils, patch-test first.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
We stand by our products with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy, we’ll make it right.

This stuff is great and very moisturizing. I was at the beach all day and didn't get sunburned at all. I also felt great knowing this is all natural. It did leave my skin a bit white, like sunscreen sometimes can, which I am not used to, but it was a very minor concern.
Annette L.
Works great , although you really need to rub it in good so you’re not so white.
Not quite sure what the SPF number is.
Juliane
It's like rubbing diaper cream on your body. Don't like it at all. Ingredients listed at time of purchase are not what I got. I didn't want white zinc oxide sunscreen and that's what I got. Now, ingredients aren't listed anywhere on the site. Sketchy.
Cinthia C.
Love the ingredients and texture feels nice but definitely leaves a white cast.
Anthony B.
Love every bit of these sun balms. Helps out a lot in the summertime for my skin. Would definitely recommend for anybody.
Michele M.
It never blended into my skin. I looked like a sick ghost ...
Brian C.

Colleen C.
I’m not pleased with how my skin stays somewhat white. I imagine it has good coverage however, I don’t care for the white hue.
Thank you,
Colleen

It didn't work out for me, but I'm sure it will for others. I use the regular balm and it works great for me!
Kenneth B.
The sun balm is thicker than the regular balm and it if very white and when applied turns the skin white for about 45 minutes. I have been applying a layer of the regular balm over the sun balm to get the white to vanish somewhat faster. It has been providing excellent results as a sun block keeping my fair skin from burning while exposed to the sunlight.

Awesome sunscreen!!
Marilou B.
I don't like the white hue that it leaves. I love the other products but I won't be buying this again.
DeAnn H.
Love your products. I have the Try Tallow and the Try Tallow Sun Balm. Love them both!
Anthony T.
Way too much the first time. I looked like a circus clown! Had to wash it off and use a pea-sized amount, which worked out better.
Laura O.
I do like having a sun screen option that is pure. I put the tallow balm over it to lessen the white appearance due to the zinc. It is a little thicker that expected but applies easily. Glad to have this option.
RAFAELA B.
I love everything about this product
Elba B.
Great! States on when you apply even after getting into the water. Good protection from harmful rays. Good ingredients. Happy I bought it.
Joseph B.
I have been using your products for awhile now and very happy with them.The sun balm definitely protects you I just wish the while residual after applying it would fade.Again I’m very pleased and will continue to support you.
