It's no secret Tallow is great for your skin.
it's also no secret that conventional sunscreens are a toxic combination of chemicals scientifically shown to harm our hormones and the environment like coral reefs!
I don't want to bore you with the details, but just look up Avobenzone, Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, or Octocrylene and their potentially nasty effects on the environment, and your hormones.
And this is according to data from the FDA!
What's worse, is that the FDA is proposing to BAN some of these chemicals soon!
From allergies, to hormone disruption, from free radical generation to coral reef damage!
It's clear many conventional sunscreen ingredients provide more harms than benefits.
If we truly care about the environment, surely we shouldn't be using chemicals that harm us and our environment?
Hawaii has BANNED many conventional sunscreens.
Why?
Because they actively kill the coral reefs.
So if they kill coral reefs, imagine what they do to us?
These same sunscreens have also shown to be absorbed by our bodies in excessively high amounts, thus having hormone disrupting effects.
So what is the solution?
How can we tan safely and enjoy all the benefits of the sun?
Is there a safe sunscreen solution that doesn't harm us or the environment?
Yes - there is!
Firstly, we need to be in the sun at the right times and right amounts to build up our "solar callus".
We can do this by exposing ourselves to morning and evening sunlight, which contains almost exclusively red and infrared light, priming our body for sun exposure when it's at its strongest.
Secondly, we can use safe MINERAL-BASED sunscreens, which use compounds like non-nano zinc oxide to safely deflect some of the sun's UV-B rays, which are strongest during the midday hours.
Mineral based tend to provide broad-spectrum protections against both UV-A and UV-B rays.
They're also less irritating, and start working immediately once on the skin and last MUCH LONGER!
Combined with Grassfed Tallow, TanTallow is a safe and effective way to protect skin from the Sun's UV rays and the environment, all whilst getting that sexy golden tan you want and keeping skin moisturized!
