Clean mineral sun protection that feels like skincare — not a chemistry experiment. Built on grass-fed beef tallow and non-nano zinc oxide, this is broad-spectrum SPF 30 without the chemical filters most people are trying to avoid. It moisturizes while it protects, so your skin feels comfortable instead of dry, tight, or coated.
Your sunscreen shouldn't need a warning label. Most sunscreens are packed with synthetic UV filters that absorb into your bloodstream within hours. We took a different approach: real ingredients, mineral protection, and a tallow base that your skin actually recognizes. The result? A sunscreen you'll want to wear every day — not one you tolerate.

What Is Non-Nano Zinc Oxide?
Non-nano zinc oxide is mineral sun protection made of particles larger than 100 nanometers, large enough to stay on the surface of your skin instead of being absorbed into the bloodstream. It provides broad-spectrum UVA + UVB coverage from a single ingredient — no chemical filter cocktail needed. Multiple studies have confirmed that non-nano zinc oxide does not penetrate intact skin, which is why dermatologists often recommend it for sensitive skin and for infants.
Tallow + Mineral Sunscreen vs. Chemical Sunscreen
| EMF Tallow + Mineral SPF 30 | Typical Chemical Sunscreen | |
|---|---|---|
| How it blocks UV | Sits on skin and reflects UV | Absorbs into skin, converts UV to heat |
| Active ingredients | 1 (non-nano zinc oxide) | 3–5 (oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, etc.) |
| Absorbs into bloodstream | No | Yes — detected in blood within hours (FDA 2019–2020 studies) |
| Reef safe | Yes | No — oxybenzone causes coral bleaching at 62 ppt |
| Works immediately | Yes | No — needs 15–30 min to activate |
| Moisturizing | Yes — grass-fed tallow base | Not typically |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is beef tallow sunscreen effective?
Yes. This sunscreen is SPF 30, independently lab-tested, and uses non-nano zinc oxide (Z-Cote by BASF) as the active ingredient. The beef tallow base provides deep moisture while zinc oxide delivers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection from a single ingredient.
Is this sunscreen reef safe?
Yes. This sunscreen uses non-nano zinc oxide as its only active ingredient and contains no oxybenzone, octinoxate, or any other chemical UV filter. It meets Hawaii's reef-safe sunscreen requirements. Oxybenzone has been shown to cause coral bleaching at concentrations as low as 62 parts per trillion, which is why Hawaii banned it in 2021.
What does non-nano zinc oxide mean?
Non-nano means the zinc oxide particles are larger than 100 nanometers, so they stay on the surface of your skin rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. This provides a physical barrier against UV rays without systemic absorption — a key safety advantage over chemical UV filters.
Does it leave a white cast?
Minimal. The formula blends quickly and fades within about a minute on most skin tones. If white cast is a dealbreaker for you, the Beef Tallow Sunscreen Travel Tube has a light cocoa tint that reduces visible cast.
How often should I reapply?
Every two hours in direct sun, and always after swimming or heavy sweating. This sunscreen is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes. It is formulated for both face and body. A pea-sized amount covers the whole face. The grass-fed tallow base absorbs cleanly without the heavy coating typical of many mineral sunscreens.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Non-nano zinc oxide is considered one of the gentlest sun protection ingredients available and is the only category of sunscreen the FDA currently classifies as Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (GRASE). This formula contains no chemical UV filters and no synthetic fragrance.
What's the SPF?
SPF 30. SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays, which dermatologists consider the practical sweet spot between protection level and everyday wearability.
Is it safe for kids and babies?
Zinc oxide is one of the few sun-protection actives considered safe for use on infants by most pediatric dermatologists. This product is made with edible-grade ingredients and has been used by Eat My Face customers on children and babies. As with any skincare product for a child, always do a small patch test first.
Will it clog my pores?
Grass-fed beef tallow is considered non-comedogenic and its fatty acid profile closely mirrors human sebum, so it absorbs rather than sitting on top of the skin. Many customers with acne-prone skin report no change or improvement in breakouts. Individual results vary.
How to use
This travel-ready sunscreen tube makes reapplication clean, quick, and easy.
1. Squeeze & warm. Squeeze a generous amount onto your fingertips. Rub between your palms for a few seconds to warm and spread evenly.
2. Apply generously. Smooth evenly over all exposed skin — face, neck, ears, and body. For full SPF 30 coverage, use about two finger-lengths for your face and a golf ball-sized amount for your body.
3. Let it set. Give the sunscreen a minute or two to absorb and form its protective layer before heading outside.
4. Reapply often. Reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Water resistant for 80 minutes, but no sunscreen lasts forever.
5. Don't skip overcast days. Up to 80% of UV rays pass through clouds. If you're outside, you need SPF — rain or shine.
Tips:
- A little goes a long way. Start with less and build up coverage as needed.
- The tube format makes reapplication easy — toss it in your beach bag, backpack, or car door.
- Works beautifully as a moisturizing base under makeup.

Let customers speak for us
Smells delicious! Coats the skin well. Easy to apply!
I have used eat my face moisturizer for about 6 months and absolutely love it. I also use the sunblock and started using the bar soap. Everything smells delicious.
I like the scent, it's soothing and relaxing. When I first put it on, it felt a little greasy, but it absorbed in a minute or two. And in the morning I woke up my skin was soft and dare I say, glowing.
This product lasts longer than we expected. The tube is much preferred over the tin can. Two tubes lasted the summer for us.
I bought both formats of sunscreen, the after sun lotion, and a vanilla mocha lotion. All products moisturize well. At first I wasn't sure it was going to fully absorb, and thought it was going to leave me oily/greasy...but it all went in within a couple of minutes (minimal white cast with the sunscreen, which increased in the water). I put this on my kids and tease that I'm going to eat them up because they smell like little chocolate donuts 😆
Great products, love the sunscreen especially. Although, if you pack it along on an adventure it will get runny and difficult to use (one tube opened in our backpack which was disappointing).
Overall great products, work very well.
This sunscreen is unique compared to other sunscreens on the market. It is nothing but clean, wholesome ingredients. The cocoa butter provides a fragrant experience. Plus, the moisturizing shea and cocoa butter is very hydrating.
I absolutely LOVE my sunscreen. Leaves my skin so soft, I feel good about using a product that’s good for me and the environment, too, especially when swimming in alpine lakes! I had an issue and customer service was helpful and polite, taking care of it quickly. This is my new forever product. So glad I found it!
I absolutely love this moisturizer, especially after hot, dry Colorado summer days at the lake. Unfortunately, the product arrived during a heatwave and about half of the contents had leaked out and was absorbed by the box. :(
It smells so good. I had to taste it. It actually taste good too. Bonus is it actually works really well and I really like this stuff. My kids love it. When they think of their childhood and being on the beach, the scent of this stuff will be one of their core memories.
I surf and am in the sun everyday, a perfect candidate for the Sunshine Bundle. The sunscreen gives light protection with minimal white cast, keeping me burn-free. But the real star for me? The After Sun cream. Ending my day with it feels like a ritual now. The texture is dreamy, and the smell is absolutely scrumptious—my boyfriend literally tasted it and liked it (oops 😂). I was a little nervous at first about the tallow base, wondering if it might clog my pores or cause breakouts, but my skin has never looked better.
Thank you Eat My Face for making skincare that’s clean, affordable, and actually works. I'm officially hooked!
I have tried 3 tallow brands recently and Eat My Face is my absolute FAVORITE! I love the smell of the Vanilla Mocha. The product makes my skin so smooth. Question: is there anyway you could maybe add magnesium to your products?
This product is nothing short of amazing. It makes my skin so noticeably soft and the smell is super yummy. If it were food it would most definitely be eaten
Smells delicious. Fast adsorbing, not greasy. Looking forward to using for longer than a week to see real results.
Smells so good. A little goes a long way. Shipped fast. 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely order again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
