Review summary

Customers describe the Melao tallow sun cream as soft and comfortable, with the whipped cream texture and the grass fed tallow base drawing the most comments. Many like that it is unscented and smooths in light without a heavy white cast, so it sits easily under makeup as the last step before sun. Reviewers find the 60g amber glass jar handy to keep in a bag or on a shelf, and several bought it as a gift. Skin feel and routines vary by person.

Soft and easy under makeup

I have tried sun creams that sit thick on my face and this one is the opposite. It scoops out soft, smooths in light and I can put my makeup straight over the top. No greasy heavy feel. The little glass jar looks lovely on my shelf too.

So glad it slots in before your makeup, Marit. That light finish is exactly what we were after.

Lottie R.Verified Purchase

Love the whipped texture

The cream is whipped and soft, almost like a balm, and it spreads really easily across my cheeks and nose. It is unscented which I prefer because I do not want a strong smell on my face all day. Been reaching for it every morning.

No white cast

The thing I notice most is that it does not leave that chalky white layer some sun creams do. It sinks in soft and my skin just looks like skin. A thin layer is plenty. The jar is small but it goes a long way so I am happy.

The grass fed tallow base is rich

My skin gets tight easily and this feels comfortable, not drying. The tallow base is richer than the watery lotions I used before but it still smooths in light. Unscented and simple, which is what I wanted. Lovely amber jar as well.

Thank you Saoirse. The grass fed tallow base is what gives it that comfortable feel, glad it suits your skin.

Bought for my wife, she loves it

Picked this up as a small gift and it was a hit. She likes that it is unscented and that it smooths on without going chalky. The gold lid and amber glass make it look more expensive than it was. She keeps it in her bag now.

Comfortable daily cream

I use it as the last step before makeup like the page says and it works well that way. Soft cream, no heavy feel, no smell. The only thing is I wish the jar were a touch bigger, but a little goes far so it lasts. Happy overall.

Sits perfectly under foundation

This has become my base step. I smooth a thin layer over my cheeks and nose, let it settle a moment and my foundation goes on smooth over the top. No pilling, no greasy patches. The whipped tallow cream just melts in. Really pleased.

That is the routine we hoped for, Elodie. Thanks for the lovely note on how it wears under makeup.

Good for sensitive skin

I react to a lot of fragranced products so unscented was a must. This one is gentle and the tallow base feels nourishing rather than stripping. Smooths over the back of my hands and face easily. The glass jar feels solid and premium.

Light and simple

Exactly what I wanted, a simple sun cream that is not perfumed and does not sit heavy. The whipped texture is nice to use and it sinks in fast. Keep it in my travel pouch for days out. Took half a star off only because the jar is compact.

My morning routine staple

After moisturiser I scoop a bit of this and smooth it over my face before makeup. It has become automatic now. Soft cream, unscented, no white cast. The amber glass jar with the gold lid looks really nice on the bathroom shelf as well.
