Sun Slayer Mineral Tallow Sun Balm – Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Sun Slayer is a small-batch mineral sun-care balm made with grass-fed tallow, 24–25% non-nano zinc oxide, and a smoother oil blend designed to make mineral sun care easier to wear outdoors.

What Is Sun Slayer?

Sun Slayer is a mineral tallow sun balm made with non-nano zinc oxide, grass-fed tallow, jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil, olive-derived squalane, beeswax, and vitamin E. The formula creates a physical mineral layer on the skin while the oils and tallow help the balm spread more evenly.

We rebuilt the oil structure for a smoother glide, more even coverage, and a more comfortable finish than the earlier formula. It is still a substantial zinc balm, but it is designed to feel easier to apply and wear.

At a Glance

• Type: mineral sun-care balm
• Mineral ingredient: 24–25% non-nano zinc oxide
• Sizes: 4 oz and 8 oz
• Fragrance: no essential oils and no added fragrance
• Finish: rich balm with a visible mineral feel that spreads more smoothly than a traditional heavy zinc formula
• Made by: Rivas Ranch in small batches

How the Formula Works

Non-nano zinc oxide is the mineral component that sits on the surface of the skin as part of a physical sun-care barrier. The tallow and oils help carry and spread the zinc across the skin, while beeswax gives the balm structure and staying power.

That balance is the point of the formula: the zinc provides the mineral component, and the oils help make a traditionally heavy ingredient easier to apply evenly.

Why Sun Slayer Feels Different

• Grass-fed tallow: gives the balm its rich, skin-conditioning base
• Non-nano zinc oxide: provides the mineral component of the formula
• Jojoba oil: helps improve glide and spreadability
• Meadowfoam seed oil: contributes to the soft, velvety feel
• Olive-derived squalane: adds lightweight skin conditioning
• Beeswax: gives the balm structure for outdoor use
• Vitamin E: provides antioxidant support and helps support formula stability

No essential oils. No added fragrance. The scent is naturally very subtle.

Ingredients

Grass-fed tallow, non-nano zinc oxide, jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil, olive-derived squalane, beeswax, and vitamin E.

How to Use Sun Slayer

1. Apply a generous, even layer to exposed skin before going outdoors.
2. Work the balm into the skin rather than applying only a small amount.
3. Reapply regularly, especially after sweating, swimming, toweling off, or extended outdoor activity.
4. Keep the tin closed and store it in a cool place when not in use.

Mineral balms can look more visible on the skin than lightweight chemical formulas. Applying in smaller sections and warming the product between your fingers first can help with even spread.

Is Sun Slayer SPF-rated?

Sun Slayer is made with 24–25% non-nano zinc oxide, but this product page does not assign it an SPF rating. Zinc oxide concentration alone does not establish an SPF number. If you need a sunscreen with a labeled SPF rating, choose a product that has been tested and labeled for that purpose.

For prolonged sun exposure, also use practical sun protection such as shade, protective clothing, and a hat.

Who Is Sun Slayer For?

• People who prefer a mineral zinc formula
• Customers who want fragrance-free sun care
• Outdoor workers, gardeners, farmers, hikers, and beach days
• People who prefer a rich balm instead of a thin lotion

If you want an invisible, weightless finish, Sun Slayer may not be the right texture for you. It is a substantial mineral balm, and some visible cast is part of that style of formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sun Slayer contain non-nano zinc oxide?

Yes. The formula contains approximately 24–25% non-nano zinc oxide.

Does Sun Slayer have an SPF rating?

No SPF rating is assigned to this product on this page. The zinc oxide concentration is provided for ingredient transparency, not as an SPF claim.

Does Sun Slayer contain fragrance or essential oils?

No. Sun Slayer contains no essential oils and no added fragrance. The natural scent is very subtle.

Will Sun Slayer leave a white cast?

Because it contains a substantial amount of mineral zinc, some visible cast is possible, especially when too much product is applied at once. Warm a small amount between your fingers and work it into the skin in sections for a more even application.

How often should I reapply?

Reapply regularly during outdoor use, especially after sweating, swimming, toweling off, or extended activity. Do not rely on one small application for an entire day outside.

What sizes are available?

Sun Slayer is available in 4 oz and 8 oz sizes.
