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.
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.
