FAQ

Questions before checkout

What kind of sun cream is this?
It is a whipped tallow sun cream made on a 100% grass fed beef tallow base, packed in a 60g amber glass jar with a gold metal lid. It is unscented, so you scoop a little out and smooth it over the skin as the last step in your routine before time in the sun. The texture is a soft cream rather than a thick paste.
What is the base made of?
The base is 100% grass fed beef tallow, which gives a richer, comfortable feel on the skin than a thin synthetic lotion. The jar is labelled unscented, so there is no added fragrance to smell through the day. It smooths on light and is made to sit as the final step before makeup.
Does it leave a heavy white cast?
It is made to smooth in light and sink into the skin without a thick, chalky white cast sitting on top. That is what lets it work as the last step before makeup rather than something you skip. Smooth a thin layer over the skin and give it a moment to settle before anything goes over the top.
What size is the jar?
It comes in a 60g, two ounce amber glass jar with a gold metal lid. The jar is compact enough to keep on a shelf, tuck into a bag or carry in a travel pouch, and the glass with a screw lid keeps the cream protected between uses. Close the lid after each use to keep it fresh.
Is it scented?
No, the jar is labelled unscented, so there is no added fragrance. That keeps it simple as part of a daily routine and easy to wear under makeup, since you are not layering a scent over the top of your other skincare. You just scoop a little out and smooth it over the skin.
Where on the body can I use it?
Smooth it over the face and the exposed skin you want to cover, such as the cheeks, nose, neck and the back of the hands, as the last step before time outdoors. Scoop a small amount, warm it between your fingers and spread it in a thin even layer, then reapply through the day when you stay in the sun.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes, it is made to sit as the final skincare step before makeup. Smooth a thin layer over clean, moisturised skin and let it settle for a moment, then your makeup goes over the top. Because it sinks in light without a heavy cast, it works as a base rather than a thick layer that gets in the way.
How do I store it?
Keep the amber glass jar closed with its gold metal lid when you are not using it, and store it away from heat and direct sun and out of reach of children. The glass jar keeps the cream protected, and closing the lid after each use keeps the whipped tallow cream fresh between applications.
