Briana M. Verified Buyer

I’d been searching forever for a sunscreen without chemicals or fragrances that actually felt good on my skin. After switching to this tallow formula, my skin stopped reacting, stayed hydrated all day, and felt calmer even after hours in the sun.

Inspired by Ancestral Skincare Wisdom

Long before chemical sunscreens existed, people relied on nature’s own protectors: zinc oxide and tallow.

Zinc oxide, once used by ancient civilizations to soothe and heal skin, provides a natural shield against harmful UV rays.
 

Tallow, rendered from grass-fed beef fat, delivers essential fatty acids, vitamins, and ceramides that deeply nourish and repair the skin barrier.

We combined these two time-tested ingredients to create a pure, biocompatible sunscreen that hydrates, protects, and supports healthy skin - without any chemicals, parabens, or synthetic additives.


Traditional sunscreen mask protection with pollution…
…leaving traces of toxins on your skin and in nature.

 PrimalCare restores the truth.  
Simple, whole ingredients you know by name, built to honor both your biology and the earth.

Frequently Asked Questions

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?

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 do you use tallow in your sunscreen? Is it also eco-conscious or cruelty-free?

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.

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?

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?

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 this makeup and skin-care routine compatible?

Of course! It's non-greasy and absorbs beautifully into the skin, making it an excellent primer for makeup.It also does not interfere with your routine, such as vitamin C or moisturizer treatment (in fact, our product does make a good moisturizer too)!

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.

Is it comedogenic? Will it clog my pores and cause acne?

Primal Care sunscreen is specially formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. In fact, tallow closely resembles the structure of the oils naturally produced by our skin, so it's readily absorbed and extremely beneficial. However, everyone's skin is different. We recommend doing a patch test before trying any new cosmetics.

How often should I reapply? Is this water-resistant?

We recommend reapplying every 2 hours during sun exposure. If you're swimming or sweating, reapply immediately after towel drying. It provides up to 90 minutes of protection in water.

Will this attract insects?

Our sunscreen is refined to remove any impurities that may cause insect attraction.
