"I put this on my four-year-old every morning. Eight ingredients. I know every single one of them. That peace of mind is worth more than I can explain."
Sky & Sol has been a great resource for my friends, family and patients! I'm always on the lookout for skincare products that are not only natural, but also effective.
"I stopped putting sunscreen on my kids three summers ago. I was more afraid of the chemicals than the sun. This changed everything."
Every "clean" mineral sunscreen you tried left you white, greasy, or broken out. This one doesn't. Made with grass-fed tallow and food-grade ingredients safe enough for your kids — and clean enough to eat.
You've been looking for a replacement and found… nothing. Every product that promised "clean" protection let you down in a different way. Here's why and what we did differently.
This is what happened every time you tried a "natural" sunscreen — and why none of them were actually clean.
❌ Chemical sunscreens absorb directly into your bloodstream
The FDA found oxybenzone reaches systemic levels up to 500× the safety threshold after a single day of use.
❌ "Clean" mineral sunscreens gave you white cast, grease, and breakouts
They swapped chemical UV filters for processed seed oils, silicones, and synthetic preservatives — so the zinc still clumped, the white cast still showed, and the breakouts still happened.
❌ Nothing that felt like something you'd actually want on your kids
You didn't stop caring. You just stopped finding sunscreens worthy of your standards.
Zero compromises. Zero hidden ingredients. Zero reasons to wonder if it's safe.
Zero compromises. Zero hidden ingredients. Zero reasons to wonder if it's safe.
No oxybenzone, avobenzone, or octinoxate — ever
No parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no hidden chemicals
No sunflower, safflower or soybean oil that oxidizes on skin
Nothing that sits on top and clogs your pores
No filler. No mystery. No ingredients that exist because they're cheap. A short list your kids could read out loud.
Its fat structure is nearly identical to your skin's own lipid profile. Absorbs without clogging pores. Delivers vitamins A, D, E, K directly into the skin barrier. Your body recognizes it because it matches your biology.
The only active ingredient. Sits on the surface of your skin and physically blocks UV rays never absorbs in, never enters the bloodstream. Non-nano means particles are too large to penetrate. Real protection that stays where it belongs.
Coats each zinc particle individually to prevent clumping — clumping is the actual cause of white cast. This is solved at the molecular level, not with silicones or synthetic smoothers.
A silky powder from Brazilian palm that absorbs excess oil and keeps the finish lightweight and breathable — even in heat. No silicones. No pore-clogging film.
A natural preservative from fermented radish root. Keeps the formula stable and fresh without parabens, phenoxyethanol, or any synthetic preservative that accumulates in skin tissue.
Creates a breathable, water-resistant layer on your skin. This is what gives the formula 80-minute water resistance — not a synthetic film-forming polymer.

"I switched to non-toxic sunscreen 3 years ago when my face started breaking out from regular SPF. This is the first one that doesn't leave a white cast AND doesn't make me break out. I've been using it for 2 years. It comes with me everywhere — vacation, pool, beach. Every single time."
"I have a box under my bathroom sink with six half-empty sunscreen tubes. All 'clean.' All 'natural.' All useless — white cast, breakouts, or an ingredient list that still had things I didn't recognize. This one I've used every day for two months. The box is not getting any more company."
"My daughter has eczema. My son has rosacea. I have both. Every sunscreen triggered something on someone. I bought this because I recognized the ingredient list. Three weeks in, nobody has reacted to anything. That's a first for this family."
"My husband thought I was insane when I put a tiny bit on my tongue to test it. But that's where I'm at with skincare — if I wouldn't eat it, I don't want it absorbing into my skin. I tasted nothing. Grass-fed tallow, zinc, jojoba. I know what all of those are. My husband now uses it too."

"My husband thought I was insane when I put a tiny bit on my tongue to test it. But that's where I'm at with skincare — if I wouldn't eat it, I don't want it absorbing into my skin. I tasted nothing concerning. Grass-fed tallow, zinc, jojoba. I know what all of those are. I've been using it on myself and my kids every morning since. My husband now uses it too."
Yes. Every single ingredient is food-grade or food-derived. There are no chemical UV filters, no synthetic preservatives, no parabens, no hormone-disrupting compounds. The only active ingredient — non-nano zinc oxide — stays on the surface of your baby's skin and does not absorb into the bloodstream. Many customers use it on infants as young as a few weeks old. We always recommend a patch test first, because every baby's skin is different.
Minimal to none for most skin tones. White cast in mineral sunscreens happens when zinc oxide particles clump together on the skin's surface. We solve this before the formula even touches you — by coating each zinc particle in cold-pressed jojoba oil, which keeps them separated and dispersed as you apply. 92% of our customers in post-purchase surveys report significantly less white cast compared to other mineral sunscreens they'd used.
This is the #1 concern people have before they try it — and the #1 thing they're surprised about after. The tallow in our formula goes through a wet-rendering purification process using only water and mild natural substances. This removes the proteins and compounds responsible for any meat-like odor. What you get is a completely neutral, odorless base. Some customers describe a very faint, barely-there scent — nothing more. It does not smell like beef. Not even close.
This formula is specifically designed to be non-comedogenic. The reason most sunscreens cause breakouts is because they contain highly processed seed oils (sunflower, soybean, safflower) and silicones that sit on the surface of the skin and trap debris in your pores. We use neither. Tallow's fatty acid profile closely mirrors your skin's own natural oils, meaning it integrates with your skin barrier rather than sitting on top of it and clogging things up. Many of our customers with acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin have found this to be the first sunscreen they can wear daily without triggering a breakout.
No stinging. No burning. No rashes. The stinging and burning people experience with most sunscreens comes from chemical UV filters and synthetic preservatives that penetrate the skin and trigger irritation. We use none of those. Our formula contains nothing your skin doesn't recognize. Customers with extremely sensitive skin — including eczema, rosacea, and contact dermatitis — regularly report that this is the first sunscreen they've been able to wear without any adverse reaction.
Yes — and this is verified by third-party lab testing, not marketing claims. At 25% non-nano zinc oxide concentration, this formula delivers true broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection that physically blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays. The formula is also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which is tested and verified. Unlike many DIY or small-batch tallow sunscreens that claim SPF protection without testing, we have the lab results to back it up. You can view our full certificate of analysis and heavy metals test results on our website.
Rich and spreadable on application, then it absorbs into a clean, non-greasy, matte finish. The babassu starch in the formula is what manages the oil balance — it absorbs excess surface oil so the end result is comfortable and breathable. Most customers describe it as feeling like a moisturizer rather than a sunscreen. It's an excellent base for makeup and doesn't interfere with other skincare products in your routine.
Tallow has many skin-loving properties. It's full of vitamins A, D, E, and K, all wonderful for skin health. Furthermore, it's similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, so it absorbs well and helps create a healthy skin barrier.
Also, tallow is one of the most environmentally friendly ingredients out there! Grass-fed tallow is produced with no pesticides, no fertilizers, and no industrial processing.
And for those claiming we are contributing to the killing of animals:
No rain forests or land is destroyed (like they are with seed oils).
And in fact, most tallow is thrown away, so by repurposing it, we are minimizing waste.
