Protect Your Ink Naturally: Why Tallow Sunscreen Is Perfect for Tattoo Care
Getting a tattoo is just the beginning—keeping it vibrant, smooth, and healthy takes real care. One of the best ways to protect your tattoo from fading, drying out, or becoming irritated? Using a tallow-based sunscreen. At Eat My Face, we believe in skincare so pure, you could eat it—and that philosophy extends to how we protect and nourish tattooed skin.
Why SPF Matters for Tattoos
UV rays are your tattoo’s worst enemy. Over time, sun exposure can:
-
Fade colors, especially bold shades like red, blue, and yellow.
-
Break down ink particles, making tattoos look blurry or dull.
-
Dry and damage skin, which slows healing and reduces skin elasticity.
-
Trigger inflammation, especially on fresh or sensitive ink.
Daily SPF is non-negotiable for anyone serious about long-term tattoo care. But not all sunscreens are created equal—especially when it comes to sensitive or healing skin.
Enter: Beef Tallow Sunscreen
Our Beef Tallow Sunscreen is made with grass-fed tallow and non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. It’s the perfect combo of sun defense and deep moisture—something every tattoo needs.

Tallow mimics your skin’s natural oils, locking in moisture without clogging pores.

Nourishes healing tattoos and helps reduce scabbing or flaking.
-
-
Protects Without Irritation

Free from alcohol, fragrances, and synthetic chemicals.

Great for sensitive skin and ideal for fresh tattoos during the healing stage.

Zinc oxide offers a physical barrier from the sun—no harsh chemical filters.

Locks in Color and Detail
-
Sun damage fades lines and color saturation over time.
-
Daily SPF use helps preserve sharpness and color intensity for years.

-
Soothes and Calms

How to Use It
-
Apply generously to tattoos 15 minutes before sun exposure.
-
Reapply every 2 hours, or more often if sweating or swimming.

Use daily—not just beach days. UV damage happens even on cloudy days.
