Key Benefits

  • Natural, chemical-free sun protection.
  • Deeply nourishes and hydrates skin.
  • Acts as a physical UV barrier.
  • Protects against oxidative damage.
  • Safe, non-toxic, and effective ingredients.


Enjoy the sun while being protected with Ancestral Cosmetic's Tallow Sun Balm. Formulated with 20% non-nano Zinc Oxide, it offers a natural physical barrier that reflects and refracts UV rays, providing effective protection. Unlike typical sunscreens that absorb into the skin, this balm stays on the surface, ensuring that the skin is shielded from harmful sun exposure. 

Crafted with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, it deeply moisturises and nourishes the skin, replenishing essential nutrients like Vitamins A, D, E, and K. These nutrients are delivered in their most bioavailable form, promoting hydration and softness. The addition of cocoa butter, olive oil, and red raspberry seed oil further supports skin protection by offering antioxidants that fight oxidative damage and prevent dryness.

This sun balm goes beyond protection, offering a soothing experience with the inclusion of sweet almond oil and Vitamin E, which lock in moisture and reduce inflammation. A unique blend of pure essential oils, Frankincense, Myrrh, and Neroli adds a refreshing, beachy aroma.

Handmade in small batches in Ireland, this product contains no chemicals or synthetic filters, only natural, skin-loving ingredients.

Why Ancestral Cosmetics is Healf
Ancestral Cosmetics’ mission is to bring back the ancient wisdom of natural beauty, using ingredients that have been trusted for over 5,000 years. The brand emerged from founders Renata and Mihael’s realisation that many food and skincare products poses health risks— with many "natural" cosmetics containing harmful preservatives, toxic mineral oils, hormone-disrupting fragrances, and cheap fillers disguised as natural ingredients. That’s why they decided to do things differently.

They developed products with ingredients that are so natural, they could be eaten. Their core ingredient, beef tallow, is a highly effective natural fat known for its deep moisturising and skin-repairing qualities. The brand also incorporates cold-pressed olive oil, raw local honey, and pure essential oils. With every product free of fillers and unnecessary extras, Ancestral Cosmetics brings you solutions you truly need for optimal skin health and wellness.

With our Healf Curation Process, we do the work for you. Shop with confidence knowing that every item has been tried, tested, and curated for you.

    Amazing product. I spent 6

    Amazing product. I spent 6 hours out in the sun on a day out. I applied this and did not burn at all despite being quite fair skinned. I was burnt on the little spot that I missed though. This also has a beautiful scent and sinks in to the skin easily. It does leave a slight white cast but I am not too bothered by this.

    Doesn’t hold up in high temperatures

    I wore this today for the first time and am positively frizzled. Based on the reviews & the fact I slathered it on, I thought this would protect me in the afternoon sun. I was wrong, burnt to a crisp. Chose this to avoid unnecessary chemicals but have definitely come off worse from it. Will be purchasing a standard option tomorrow.

    Healthy ingredients good products

    This product has very high quality ingredients and works well as an spf it is the highest rated beef tallow spf out there and the jar will last long if just applying to face. However it dosent moisturise that well if you have dry skin and it needs to be rubbed in well. Also if you order it and it comes with many small balls mixed in, it shouldnt be like this it just means during shipping process it went through cold temperatures so to fix this and make it the creamy texture it should be very gently warm it by placing the jar in a bowl of 50 - 60 degree water no more and stir if it is above this temperature it can affect the effectiveness of the spf or just contact healf to supply you with another one. Mine came with these bits inside however healf supplied me with a new one quite quickly.
