Used as far back as the Bronze Age, ancient Egyptians and early humans have known that animal fats like tallow are extremely useful in their cosmetics and skincare preparations. Tallow is one of the most compatible fats with our skin's natural oils, making it easily absorbed causing the nutrient dense ingredients to sooth the skin faster than conventional creams from your favorite beauty store.  Archaeological evidence has shown that tallow was used for soap-like substances and moisturizers as early as 2800 BCE by the Babylonians and Sumerians as the economical choice for skincare.  Solscreen bring you back to your ancestral roots by rejecting petroleum-based sunscreens like our competition.

Known by native tropical cultures as the"Tree of Life", our tallow-based sunscreen includes 100% organic coconut oil.  Coconut oil, cherished in cultures from the Pacific Islands to Southeast Asia, is rich in lauric acid, which exhibits powerful antimicrobial properties. It also contains natural anti-inflammatory agents that soothe and calm the skin, making it beneficial for those with sensitive skin or inflammatory skin conditions. In recent years, scientific studies have begun to uncover the potential of coconut oil as an anti-aging ingredient, linking its antioxidants to a reduction in the signs of skin aging. In one such study, coconut oil was found to improve skin hydration and increase skin surface lipid levels significantly, reinforcing its standing as a potent, natural ally for skin health.

Drawing from the timeless traditions of ancient Greece, where olive oil was revered as a sacred, healing elixir, our tallow-based sunscreen taps into deep-rooted wisdom for modern skincare. Olive oil, an integral part of Grecian beauty rituals, is rich in antioxidants including phenolic compounds and vitamin E, which neutralize harmful free radicals and protect against skin damage. These antioxidants, coupled with the naturally occurring squalene in olive oil, provide an effective barrier, reducing moisture loss and contributing to the skin's elasticity and hydration. Recent scientific studies have demonstrated olive oil's ability to aid in skin cell regeneration and its potential protective effects against ultraviolet light damage.

Drawing from the ancestral wisdom of Native American tribes who prized jojoba oil for its healing properties, our tallow-based sunscreen offers a time-honored approach to skincare. Jojoba oil mimics our skin's natural sebum, allowing it to absorb quickly, balance skin oils, and maintain skin's hydration by reducing trans epidermal water loss, as per a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science. It also holds anti-inflammatory agents that can help reduce redness and soothe skin conditions like rosacea and eczema. Moreover, it's loaded with antioxidants including vitamin E and B-complex vitamins that protect against free radical damage, aiding in the prevention of premature aging. In our tallow and jojoba oil-based sunscreen, we honor ancestral knowledge while providing cutting-edge, scientifically-supported protection for your skin.

In homage to Bronze Age European cultures, where the word for 'bee' is one of the oldest and universally recognized words in human languages, our tallow-based sunscreen harnesses the age-old benefits of beeswax. Beeswax creates a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental harm while retaining moisture and preventing dryness. Rich in Vitamin A, beeswax is crucial for cell reconstruction and skin health. Studies in journals such as the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry have highlighted the anti-inflammatory properties of beeswax, which soothe irritation and promote healing. With its water-resistant qualities, beeswax further ensures lasting protection during swimming or sweating. Our tallow-based sunscreen, enriched with beeswax, is a tribute to this ancient linguistic and cultural connection, offering a natural, scientifically-backed way to nourish and protect your skin.

Inspired by the healing rituals of the ancient Greeks at their famous Asklepion healing temples, who relied on magnesium from Epsom salt baths to soothe aches and pains, our tallow-based sunscreen incorporates magnesium oil.  Magnesium oil, not truly an oil but a highly saturated solution of magnesium chloride in water, is absorbed transdermally, replenishing the body's magnesium levels which are essential for optimal physiological function. According to a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, adequate magnesium levels can contribute to reducing the risk of seizures by maintaining stable neuronal excitability. Moreover, research indicates that magnesium assists in body temperature regulation, increasing heat tolerance and reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses and heat stroke. By integrating magnesium oil into our tallow-based sunscreen, we tap into the wisdom of ancient practices, offering you a natural, scientifically-backed means of protecting and nourishing your skin while enhancing your overall well-being.
