Why choose Sun Armor?

Made for long days outside – whether you’re at the beach, gardening, playing golf or out with the family.

Sun Armor Lotion keeps things simple with 21% non-nano zinc oxide (SPF 30) that sits on your skin and provides broad-spectrum mineral protection.
Unlike many conventional sunscreens it avoids the long, overly complicated ingredient list and thick white finish customers want to move away from.

Tallow and sweet almond oil help keep your skin feeling moisturized, while raw cacao gives the formula a warm, natural tint.

Ingredients

Full ingredients: Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Coconut Oil, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (21%), Beeswax, Raw Cacao and Vanilla Bean-Infused Sweet Almond Oil.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Grass-fed beef tallow

Regeneratively sourced and naturally similar to the oils found in our skin. Rich in fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin A, D, E, and K, it helps keep skin soft, moisturized and supported while outdoors.

Non-nano zinc oxide

Provides broad-spectrum mineral protection by forming a protective layer on the skin.

Raw cacao

Adds a warm, natural tint to help remove the chalky white finish often associated with traditional sunscreen.

Coconut oil & beeswax

Help soften skin with antioxidant properties, lock in moisture and keep the formula in place.

Vanilla-infused sweet almond oil

Adds light moisture and a soft, natural scent.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How to use

A little goes a long way.

Warm a small amount between your fingers, then apply an even layer to the face and body before sun exposure.

Reapply every 30-60 minutes, after swimming or sweating and whenever coverage may have rubbed away.

Regenerative sourcing

Our tallow comes from cattle raised in a way designed to work with the land, rather than against it.

They graze across land managed without pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, helping support healthier soil and a more balanced farming system.

Love my sun armor face cream

Love my sun armor face cream. It is so soft. Not heavy feeling and the little jar I have will last me a very long time. I’ve shared with others at the beach and hear the same comments on how natural it feels and how well it works.

This is my go-to sun screen lotion

This is my go-to sun screen lotion. It has great consistency, light scent, and goes on smoothly. It also lasts. I've had mine for over two summers. I would never go back to a sunscreen without ingredients like these.

I found my last all natural sun protection!

I found my last all natural sun protection! First time using it and it worked great! I didn’t burn while working in the sun with a lengthy yard project. Great product and will continue to buy.

Wow! A terrific product.

I use this on my face every day and the essential oil cream at night. I have very fair mature skin I was looking for safer sun protection. What I did not expect was the incredible transformation of my skin. Strangers, neighbors, and friends started talking about how beautiful my skin looked. But the best compliment came from my dear friend who thought I had gotten fillers or Botox because my skin looked so pretty. No, none of those just Born to be Free sun armor! I highly recommend this product.

Sun Armor Lotion

Such an AMAZING Product!!! Not only is the product TERRIFIC, but the Founders Nadja & John are a Class Act. When I received my first order I also received a sample bar of one of their Soaps & Such a Touching Hand Written Note from them. You really don't see that to often these days. I will Most Definitely be a Regular Customer. Thank you Nadja & John, keep up the GRT work you both are doing for keeping us Healthy 😀

Protection and nutrition for the skin

I always use this for sun protection. The one time I didn’t have this I got so burnt using a well known product Thank goodness I had the extra hydration body butter to heal my skin and prevent blistering. Now I make sure I always carry the Sun Stick in my bag!

The best thing I have smelled in my life

The ingredients list is a WINNER, and I still can't believe how amazing this sweet almond & vanilla formulation smells. My only complaint is that it's not available in any higher SPF.

Blocks the sun without being sticky

I used the Sun Armor on a recent vacation. At first as I put it on it seemed a little thick, but it quickly began to smooth out over my skin. I was in/out of a pool and it continued to protect my skin from sunburn. I appreciate having a natural product to use to screen the sun. Thank You

Sun Armor

Used it twice. Thinly applied and worked really well. Glad to find an effective sunscreen without carcinogens.

It works well to block sun/reduce sunburn. However, it goes on like makeup and seems to insist on being thick.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, William. We’re glad to hear Sun Armor worked well for you in blocking the sun and reducing sunburn.

Sun Armor is intentionally formulated to be thicker than conventional sunscreens. We use non-nano zinc oxide for physical sun protection along with nourishing fats, rather than chemical UV filters or thinning agents. That thicker texture helps the zinc sit on the skin’s surface where it can properly reflect and block UV rays, similar to how traditional mineral sunscreens were made.

We really appreciate your honest feedback and your support of clean, non-toxic alternatives.

Just what we needed!

The sun armor has worked extremely well for our family. After hours upon hours in the sun, we can vouch for its effectiveness (with reapplication when needed). This is the first product we have been able to use on our sensitive skin with confidence. Our kids particularly enjoy using the sun armor stick for application. Thank you for a wonderful product!

Satisfied with this product

Sun Armer definitely fits my need for sunscreen when I go under the sun and not harm to my skin. Very light nice scent. I am very satisfied with this product all in all! Thank you John and Nadja, you guys are doing a amazing job here.

Container needs ReEngineered

First of all I do like the fact that's it's chemical free. I don't like the fact that's it's greasy. Also the container is tall and slander, it would be much easier to get to the contents if the container were short and wide. A more flat container would be better to get to the stuff inside.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, Susie. We truly appreciate your honesty and are glad to hear you value that Sun Armor is completely chemical free.

Because Sun Armor is made with nourishing natural fats and non-nano zinc oxide, it can feel richer than conventional sunscreens that rely on chemical UV filters and thinning agents. That texture is intentional to ensure proper physical sun protection and skin support.

We also appreciate your feedback on the packaging. For easier access, we do offer Sun Armor in a wide-mouth jar, which many customers prefer for scooping and application, especially toward the end of the product. Your input is always helpful as we continue to improve both our formulas and packaging options.

Thank you again for supporting clean, intentional alternatives and our small business

Worked great

This sun screen goes on easy and it smells nice. I used it before a round of golf and it kept me protected the entire time.

This stuff is wonderful! I love the tint and how it doesn’t leave white paste all over my face, I love the smell, I love the texture…it doesn’t leave my face dry and flaky, which is great, and my face hasn’t gotten sunburnt since using it. Definitely going to order more!
