Why We Made Tallow Summer Cream (And Why You’ll Never Go Back to Drugstore Lotion Again)

Summer is sweet — sun-warmed cheeks, barefoot days, and hours spent outside. But it’s also tough on your skin. Heat, sweat, sun exposure, and dryness can leave even the healthiest skin feeling stressed. That’s why we created Tallow Summer Cream — a rich, nourishing blend made to support your skin naturally through the sunny months.

We weren’t looking for a trendy skincare product. We were looking for something real. Something your skin could recognize. Something that actually worked.

And this is it.

🌿 Real Ingredients for Real Skin

Tallow Summer Cream is handcrafted with whole, farm-sourced ingredients. Every jar is made in small batches using nutrient-rich tallow, sun-supportive oils, and mineral-rich botanicals — all chosen for a reason.

What’s inside:

  • Grass-fed tallow

  • Organic beeswax

  • Non-nano zinc oxide

  • Organic jojoba oil

  • Organic olive oil

  • Organic carrot seed oil

  • Organic raspberry seed oil

  • Lavender essential oil

These aren’t just “clean ingredients” — they’re powerful, healing, and time-tested. Here’s why each one matters.

Grass-Fed Tallow

Tallow is full of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K — all of which support skin repair and elasticity. It deeply moisturizes without clogging pores and mimics your skin’s natural oils, helping it absorb quickly and heal deeply. Unlike water-based lotions that sit on the surface, tallow feeds your skin from the outside in.

Carrot Seed Oil

Carrot seed oil is known for its antioxidant power. It helps soothe skin that’s been kissed by the sun and supports natural resilience against UV stress. It’s not a sunscreen, but it brings gentle support during and after time outside.

Raspberry Seed Oil

This cold-pressed oil is full of essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and polyphenols. It helps calm inflammation, hydrate deeply, and support your skin’s natural barrier — especially after sun exposure.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

This gentle mineral stays on top of your skin rather than absorbing into your bloodstream. It acts as a soft, reflective barrier, calming irritation and helping your skin feel safe and soothed. It’s often used in diaper cream for a reason — it works gently and effectively.

Jojoba and Olive Oil

Jojoba oil mimics our own sebum, while olive oil is rich in squalene and antioxidants. Together, they help balance moisture, calm irritation, and carry the tallow and botanicals deeper into the skin. No petroleum, no fillers — just real plant oils your body understands.

Lavender Essential Oil

A light touch of lavender gives the cream a calm, spa-like scent without any synthetic “fragrance.” Lavender is naturally antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing to both the skin and the nervous system.

❌ Why We Don’t Use Store-Bought Lotions Anymore

Most drugstore creams and sunscreens are filled with ingredients that don’t belong in or on your body — including harsh preservatives, chemical UV filters, fake fragrances, and petroleum-based moisturizers.

They may give a quick fix, but they don’t support your skin long-term. Many actually dry out your skin, clog pores, or trigger hormone imbalance. And that’s not what we want.

We believe skincare should be safe, simple, and deeply nourishing. Tallow Summer Cream isn’t just free from junk — it’s full of real goodness.

🌞 Is This a Sunscreen?

No. Tallow Summer Cream has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to prevent sunburn or replace sunscreen. It does contain non-nano zinc oxide, carrot seed oil, and raspberry seed oil, which all offer natural support against UV-related stress — but we still recommend:

  • Wearing protective clothing

  • Seeking shade when possible

  • Using a mineral-based sunscreen if you’ll be in direct sun for long periods

Our cream is designed to support your skin’s natural defenses, not replace sun protection altogether.

💛 Why We Made It

We made this cream for the same reason we make everything — because we couldn’t find anything like it on the shelves.

We wanted something:

  • That felt good and smelled like calm

  • That didn’t sting sun-kissed skin

  • That came from the Earth, not a lab

  • That reminded us of how simple healing can be

From babies to mamas, garden hands to beach days — this is what we reach for. It’s more than moisturizer. It’s part of our rhythm.

🌸 Final Thoughts

Your skin is smart. It knows what to do when we give it the right tools. Tallow Summer Cream is made to support your body’s natural beauty — not mask it, not fight it, just nourish it.

If you’ve been looking for a summer staple that brings comfort, glow, and healing — you just found it.

From our homestead to yours,
We’re so glad you’re here.
