Tallow and Zinc Sunscreen
This sunscreen has a non-nanoparticle zinc oxide base with grass-fed and finished California tallow, cocoa butter, calendula sun-infused in jojoba oil for 6 weeks, and wheat germ (vit e) oil. All ingredients are organic and locally sourced when possible!
Due to the oil/fat base, this product is generally water and sweat resistant. It’s recommended to apply every 75 minutes or earlier if needed - while always observing safe sun exposure practices (coverage and shade when needed). For more information on sun exposure, articles regarding gradual sun exposure, sun damage, and polyunsaturated fatty acids can be found on the blog!
The zinc itself is non-nano particle, meaning it is too large (bigger than 100nm) to penetrate the skin. It sits atop as a physical barrier without being able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
