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.
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.
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.
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.
Rich but not greasy
I expected a tallow base to feel heavy but it is whipped so it goes on light and smooths in. Comfortable on the skin and no shine after a few minutes. I use it on my face and the back of my hands when I am outdoors. Solid little jar.
Nice texture, handy size
The cream is soft and easy to spread and the compact jar fits in my handbag. I like that it is unscented for everyday. It does what it says, smooths on without a chalky cast. I just reapply when I am out for a while. Happy with it.
Replaced my old sun cream
My old one always left a white film. This grass fed tallow cream does not, it just sinks in and my skin looks normal. Unscented too, which my partner appreciates. The amber jar is a nice touch. Will be repurchasing when it runs low.
Gentle and comfortable
Lovely soft cream that feels comfortable rather than tight. I smooth it over my cheeks and nose as the last step and it sits well under makeup. No fragrance, no heavy cast. The whipped tallow texture is genuinely nice to apply each day.
Does the job, looks good
Simple and unscented, which is what I look for. Goes on light, no greasy patches and no smell. The amber glass jar with the gold lid looks smarter than the plastic bottles I had before. Only wish is a larger jar option, otherwise great.
Perfect last step
I always struggled to find a sun cream that did not ruin my makeup. This one sits as the last skincare step and my makeup goes on fine over it. The whipped tallow cream smooths in light and there is no white cast at all. Really happy.
Nourishing on dry skin
My skin gets dry and this tallow base feels nourishing without being greasy once it settles. Unscented so I can use it on my face with no irritation. The compact jar comes everywhere with me now. A small amount covers a lot of skin.
Soft cream, no fuss
Easy to scoop, easy to spread, sinks in light. I keep it on my desk and use it before I head out at lunch. Unscented and not greasy. The jar is small but the cream lasts well so it is fine. A nice simple addition to my routine.
Looks lovely, works well
Bought it partly because the amber glass jar and gold lid looked so nice, but the cream itself is what won me over. Whipped, soft, unscented and no chalky cast. It smooths over my face and hands easily. Has earned a spot in my routine.
Comfortable for everyday
I wear it most days now before going out. The grass fed tallow base feels comfortable and it does not sit thick on my skin. No smell, no heavy cast, just a soft cream that sinks in. The little jar is well made and easy to travel with.
Great base under makeup
Smooths in light and gives my makeup a nice surface to go over. Unscented which I like. No white film, no greasy shine. The jar is compact so it travels well in my bag. I would happily buy it again, especially for the summer months.
Simple and effective feeling
I like that it keeps things simple, one unscented tallow cream as the last step before sun. It smooths on soft, sinks in and does not leave a cast. Use it on my face and the back of my hands. The amber jar looks the part on the shelf.

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.
