First off, let me say I was skeptical about a sunscreen made from beef tallow. But after using it for two weeks during my beach vacation, I’m converted. The texture is like a rich moisturizer—creamy but not heavy—and it melts into my skin without that dreaded white cast or sticky residue. My makeup glides right over it!

What surprised me most was how nourished my skin felt. Normally, sunscreens leave my combo skin either oily or tight, but this one kept my T-zone balanced and my dry cheeks hydrated. During a 4-hour hike, I reapplied once (as directed), and zero redness—just soft, happy skin.

The unscented formula is perfect for my sensitive nose (and my partner’s allergy-prone skin). We used it everywhere—faces, shoulders, even the tops of our feet—and no stains on clothes or weird peeling. Pro tip: It works wonders under a rash guard for surfing days!

Is it magic? Almost. The only ‘con’ is needing to pair it with another SPF for extreme sun exposure (per the label), but as a daily shield with skincare benefits? 10/10 would slather again.
