Complete Natural Sun Care for Your Whole Day Outdoors
Meet your new sun care ritual. Our Tallow Sun Care Duo pairs our nourishing Before Sun Cream with our soothing After Sun Cream—everything you need to prepare, protect, and restore your skin naturally before and after time in the sunshine.
The Lady May Tallow Story
Lady May Tallow was born from a simple desire: to create skincare our own family could trust. As parents, we grew tired of ingredient lists we couldn't understand and products filled with synthetic chemicals. We turned to the wisdom of our ancestors and rediscovered tallow—the nutrient-rich fat that generations before us used to nourish and protect their skin.
What started in our kitchen as a quest for pure, effective skincare has grown into a small family business dedicated to bringing you products that honor tradition, respect your skin's natural intelligence, and actually work. Every jar is handcrafted with intention, care, and a commitment to ingredients you can trust.
What's Inside Your Sun Care Duo
Before Sun Cream (4 oz): Prepare your skin for sun exposure with grass-fed tallow, non-nano zinc oxide, carrot seed oil, jojoba, coconut oil, and beeswax. This nourishing pre-sun cream creates a protective base while delivering deep moisture and antioxidants.
After Sun Cream (4 oz): Soothe and restore sun-kissed skin with grass-fed tallow infused with calendula, aloe vera, lavender, peppermint, and carrot seed oil. This cooling, hydrating formula helps calm and replenish skin after outdoor adventures.
Why Tallow for Sun Care?
Grass-fed beef tallow is remarkably similar to our own skin's natural oils, making it one of nature's most effective moisturizers. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it penetrates deeply to nourish without clogging pores. Unlike synthetic ingredients, tallow works in harmony with your body—just as nature intended.
Perfect For
- Beach days and pool time
- Hiking, camping, and outdoor adventures
- Gardening and yard work
- Anyone seeking natural, chemical-free sun care
- Thoughtful gifts for health-conscious friends and family
- Sensitive skin that reacts to conventional products
How to Use Your Duo
Before Sun: Apply generously to clean skin 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Massage gently until absorbed. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
After Sun: After cleansing, apply liberally to sun-exposed areas. Massage gently and allow skin to drink in the nourishment. Use as often as needed for comfort and hydration.
Our Family's Promise to Yours
Every product from Lady May Tallow is made with grass-fed tallow, thoughtfully sourced botanicals, and zero synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, or harsh chemicals. We're a small family business committed to skincare that's pure, effective, and rooted in ancestral wisdom.
This duo comes beautifully packaged, making it a perfect gift for yourself or someone you love.
Important: Before Sun Cream is not a sunscreen and does not replace proper sun protection. Always use appropriate sun safety measures including sunscreen, protective clothing, and limiting sun exposure during peak hours.

Tallow FAQs
What is tallow?
Tallow has been used for centuries in skincare. With bioavailable vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and various fatty acids, tallow helps soften, moisturize, and revitalize the skin.
Do your products have a "beefy" scent?
We get this question all the time and while it is very valid, the answer is no!
We use a wet-rendering process for all of our tallow products. This completely purifies the tallow, leaving it odorless, while maintaining the key nutrients and benefits for your skin!
How much tallow should I use?
A little goes a long way with our tallow products. Start by using the size of a penny and see if you need more! Tallow will soak into your skin and leave your skin barrier deeply moisturized.
How should I store my tallow products?
Store your moisturizer away from light and drastic temperature changes.
To maintain its original texture, store your moisturizer in a typical temperature-controlled environment (68-74 degrees). Extreme temperatures can cause the tallow to harden in cold conditions or melt in warm conditions. If this occurs, there's no need to worry; the moisturizer is still usable, but know the texture may change.
Can I use tallow if I have oily skin?
Yes! When the skin is excessively cleansed and stripped of its natural oils, it tends to overproduce oil. Using a high-quality moisturizer, like whipped tallow, can help maintain skin's moisture balance and prevent excess oil production.
Can I use tallow if I have acne-prone skin?
Yes! The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing qualities of tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.
What are the uses for tallow skincare?
There are many uses for your tallow skincare products.
Our products can be used for moisturizing the skin (face & body), diaper rashes, and eczema/other skin irritations.
Is this product organic?
Our tallow boasts a clean label with no artificial ingredients. However, it is not certified organic.
What part of the cow does the fat come from? Is it suet?
The fat we use primarily comes from the kidney area and loins of the cow. This specific type of fat is known as suet, prized for its purity and quality. Our "nose-to-tail sustainable farms" ensure that no fat goes to waste, utilizing all parts of the animal for their unique benefits for a premium blend of beef tallow.
Are the farms sustainable?
Yes, the farms we partner with focus on ethical practices that respect both the land and the animals. Every batch of our tallow carries the promise of sustainability and a nod to generations past.
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
No, the product is shelf-stable at room temperature. However, you can refrigerate or freeze it if you wish to extend the shelf life. Refrigeration will make the product harder, but many bakers prefer this consistency for creating flakier crusts.
Wow, The Lady May ships extremely fast! I just ordered it and within 2 days it was here. Smells fantastic and so moisturizing and luxurious. Love the tallow items as they are so good on the skin! I'm a repeat customer!
Well made, high quality ingredients. And best of all non toxic sunscreen. I bought one for myself and one for a friend.
I’ve been using Lady May skin care for years. Love that they now have sunscreen
Perfect! I love this product :) works great and it arrived quickly too!!
The girls loved it. Used both several times this wk
Ordered another set for my girls and they love it
This is my second time to order. The sunscreen goes a long way but leaves a white cast so I mix in some of the after sun to thin it out. I only needed the after sun but the only option is to order both. Also, the photo shows a different container than what actually arrived. I was hoping for the new repackaging featured in the photo as it might be easier to dispense.
The Tallow Sun Care Duo is amazing, like all of the Lady May products! I used it before and after the beach in Florida last week and I did not burn and it made my skin so soft. I am buying more for gifts. I highly recommend if you are looking for a non-toxic alternative to sun care.
Perfect! I love this product :) works great and it arrived quickly too!!

This lotion was great after sun exposure it really helped my kids after a day at the beach. Minimal peeling if not none days after.

Great protection for various areas of my face that have become sun-damaged over the years. Absorbed somewhat quickly into skin, pleasant scent, and pleased with the product volume for the price.
Bought as a gift for my mom and she loved it and the scent.
I was skeptic to buy this since we had a bad reaction with tallow balm before. I read their ingedients . I decide to give it a go and wanted to have something is more health and safe for my family. We went to beach yesterday and used it afterwards. NO RASH or RED! My kids were so amazing to see and feel so soft no stings like aloe or others.
Definitely will come back to order again when it runs out. Hand down!
Great quality product as usual f t om Lady May.
