Guardian Tallow Sunscreen
"After trying every 'natural' sunscreen on the market and being disappointed every time, Guardian Tallow is the holy grail I've been searching for. It's the first mineral sunscreen my kids don't run away from when I take it out of the bag!"
How to use
How to use
Each bottle is around 3 oz (85 g), with the contents lasting 1-3 months depending on usage. For face usage, this will be around 75 uses.
FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION:
- Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure
- Use approximately 1 teaspoon for the face, 1 tablespoon for each arm, and 2 tablespoons for torso and back
- Reapply every 80 minutes during active swimming or sweating, or every 2 hours of regular activity
- Store below 80°F to maintain optimal consistency
PRO TIP FOR PARENTS: For wiggly kids, try our "dot dot dot" method! Place small dots all over exposed skin, then connect the dots while making a fun game of it.
NOTE: Due to its natural ingredients, Guardian Tallow becomes more liquid in hot temperatures and firmer in cold. This is normal and doesn't affect performance.

What Makes Guardian Tallow Sunscreen Different?
The first mineral sunscreen that actually rubs in clear, feels amazing on your skin, and is made with ingredients so pure you could practically eat them.
The Hidden Problem With "Natural" Sunscreens
Those so-called "natural" sunscreens aren't telling you the whole truth. While they brag about not having harsh chemicals, they're full of seed oils that break down in the sun.
Every time you apply seed oil-based "natural" sunscreens on your skin, you could be creating a perfect storm of oxidative damage.
Think about it: Sunscreen sits directly on your family's most delicate barrier—their skin—while being exposed to intense heat and UV radiation. The exact conditions that cause seed oils to break down and generate harmful compounds.
Your body absorbs up to 60% of what you put on your skin. Do you really want oxidized seed oils entering your body day after day, summer after summer?
Guardian Tallow puts an end to this hidden danger once and for all.
Our proprietary base from regeneratively raised cattle. Its fatty acid profile mimics human skin's natural oils, allowing for superior absorption without greasiness while providing deep nourishment with natural vitamins A, D, K, and E
Physical sun protection that sits on the skin's surface to reflect harmful UVA and UVB rays without being absorbed into the bloodstream. FDA-recognized as the safest, most effective sunscreen ingredient.
A liquid wax that closely resembles human sebum, helping our formula balance and protect your skin's moisture barrier without the instability of seed oils. Provides smooth application and helps tallow absorb beautifully.
Creates a protective, breathable barrier that helps the sunscreen stay put even during swimming and sweating. Adds to the water-resistant properties while allowing skin to breathe naturally.
A natural emulsifier that helps all ingredients blend perfectly, ensuring even zinc oxide distribution for consistent protection. Derived from sunflower but processed to remove unstable fatty acids.
A naturally occurring mineral that improves texture and reduces the appearance of white cast while helping absorb excess moisture for a non-greasy finish.
A powerful antioxidant that prevents formula oxidation while nourishing and protecting skin from environmental damage. Works synergistically with zinc oxide for enhanced protection.
Natural preservative that keeps our formula fresh without harsh chemicals. Provides gentle antimicrobial protection while being suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
Why Tallow Is The Perfect Sunscreen Base
Unlike those other brands, Guardian is formulated with 100% grass-fed tallow as its base—an ingredient your skin instantly recognizes.
The Science Behind Our Sunscreen
Real Families, Real Results
-
★★★★★
"My 4-year-old used to run away screaming when I brought out the 'ghost cream.' Now he actually asks for the 'fluffy sunscreen.' Game changer for beach days!"
-
★★★★★
"As someone who has spent years researching ingredients and avoiding seed oils in our diet, I was shocked to realize they were in our 'natural' sunscreen. Finding Guardian was like the final piece of our non-toxic lifestyle falling into place."
-
★★★★★
"The white cast from other mineral sunscreens made me look ridiculous in photos. Guardian is the first one that actually works with my melanin-rich skin instead of fighting against it."
Look at the ingredient list of your current "natural" sunscreen.
Do you see any of these?
- Sunflower oil
- Safflower oil
- Grapeseed oil
- Raspberry seed oil
These polyunsaturated oils are chemically unstable. When exposed to heat and UV light—exactly the conditions sunscreen faces—these oils can oxidize on your skin, potentially causing the very inflammation and damage you're trying to prevent.
This is why most natural sunscreens leave you feeling greasy and wondering if they're really protecting your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does tallow protect against UV rays?
Does tallow protect against UV rays?
No—but that’s not its job. The real UV shield here is non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral sunscreen that sits on top of your skin and physically blocks UVA and UVB rays. Tallow’s role? It helps nourish and support your skin barrier, keeping it healthy, hydrated, and resilient under the sun.
Why do you use non-nano zinc oxide?
Why do you use non-nano zinc oxide?
Because it’s the safest and most effective way to block UV rays—without sinking into your bloodstream. Non-nano zinc oxide stays on the surface of your skin, creating a physical barrier against both UVA and UVB rays. It’s reef-safe, gentle on sensitive skin, and doesn’t carry the same health risks as chemical filters.
Why doesn’t your tallow have a beefy smell?
Why doesn’t your tallow have a beefy smell?
We use a process called Wet Rendering to purify our tallow. This method uses only water and mild natural substances like baking soda—no harsh chemicals or toxic solvents like hexane. By keeping the temperature low, we preserve the tallow’s essential nutrients and vitamins while ensuring there’s no lingering beef smell.
What is the texture like?
What is the texture like?
The texture is described as a rich, spreadable cream. It leaves a non-greasy and nourishing feel on the skin.
Why is this sunscreen hard to wash off?
Why is this sunscreen hard to wash off?
Our sunscreen is water-resistant, meaning it stays on your skin to provide long-lasting protection. If a sunscreen washes off too easily, it might not be doing its job! To remove it effectively, use an oil-based cleanser or a gentle scrub with soap and water.
Is it effective in blocking out UVA and UVB (Broad Spectrum)?
Is it effective in blocking out UVA and UVB (Broad Spectrum)?
Absolutely! It is formulated to provide broad-spectrum protection, which means it effectively shields your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkling and age spots, while UVB rays can burn your skin. Too much exposure to either can lead to skin cancer. Our active ingredient, non-nano zinc oxide, is a mineral that is highly effective at blocking out both types of harmful rays, keeping your skin safe and healthy under the sun. It's recommended by the FDA due to it's safety and effectiveness.
