Sol No. 15 Tallow Mineral Sunscreen Balm — Natural SPF Face Sunscreen with Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Sol No. 15 is a grass-fed tallow mineral sunscreen balm with non-nano zinc oxide. Sheer, matte finish. No harsh chemicals. Made for Texas heat and humidity.

A clean, anhydrous mineral sun balm built for high-heat climates. Sol No. 15 blends grass-fed tallow with non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that absorbs fast, sits matte, and nourishes as it shields — no white cast, no greasy residue.

Mineral Sunscreen That Works With Your Skin, Not Against It

Most mineral sunscreens sit on top of your skin, leaving a heavy, chalky layer that breaks down the moment humidity hits. Sol No. 15 was formulated differently — as a tallow-based, anhydrous sun balm that mimics your skin's natural lipid structure to deliver broad-spectrum protection with a breathable, velvet-matte finish.

Designed specifically for hot, humid climates, this natural face sunscreen absorbs quickly and stays put — even under heat and sweat.

Key Benefits

Broad-Spectrum Mineral Protection Non-nano zinc oxide provides a physical UV barrier against both UVA and UVB rays without chemical filters like oxybenzone or avobenzone. Safe for sensitive skin and reef-conscious formulation.

Grass-Fed Tallow — The Bioavailable Skin Barrier Tallow's fatty acid profile closely mirrors human sebum, allowing fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K to absorb efficiently. The result: deep nourishment that prevents the tight, parched feeling typically caused by prolonged sun exposure.

Dry-Touch, Sheer Finish — No White Cast Wild-harvested Kokum butter creates a lightweight, non-greasy texture. Iron oxides and cacao lightly neutralize zinc's white cast for a sheer, skin-tone-adaptive glow across all complexions.

Heat-Stable Formula Formulated with a higher melting point than standard balms, Sol No. 15 maintains solid consistency in warm bags and hot cars — yet melts on contact with your fingertips for effortless, even application.

How to Use

Apply as the final step in your morning routine. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips until it transforms into a silky, fluid oil. Press gently into the face, neck, and décolletage. Reapply every two hours or after sweating for continuous protection.

Pairs with Milk No. 0 (cleanser) and Dew No. 12 (moisturizer) as the third step in the ritual.

The Bath Shoppe Glossary of Ingredients

The Foundations

Grass-Fed Tallow (Adeps Bovis)
The "hero" of the formula. Tallow is uniquely compatible with human skin cell biology. It is packed with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and anti-inflammatory conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Because its lipid profile so closely mimics our own, it absorbs deeply rather than sitting on the surface.

Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)
Technically a liquid wax ester, jojoba is the key to our "dry-touch" finish. It helps regulate natural oil production and ensures the balm glides onto the skin without the heavy, "slick" feeling common in olive or coconut oil-based sunscreens.

The Texture & Stability

Kokum Butter (Garcinia Indica)
A powerful, non-comedogenic butter known for its ability to heal dry or cracked skin. It provides the firm structure of the balm and has a high melting point, ensuring Sol No. 15 remains stable even in the Texas heat. Unlike other butters, it is non-greasy and won't clog pores.

Beeswax (Cera Alba)
Locally sourced to provide a natural, breathable water-resistant barrier. Beeswax keeps the minerals in place on your skin while you sweat and protects the formula from melting in your bag or car.

The Actives & Protectants

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide
A safe, mineral-based physical shield. "Non-nano" means the particles are large enough to sit safely on top of the skin to reflect UVA and UVB rays, rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. It provides immediate broad-spectrum protection without the need for chemical absorbers.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
A potent antioxidant that serves a dual purpose: it protects the skin from UV-induced free radical damage and acts as a natural preservative, keeping the organic tallow and botanical oils fresh and stable.

The Finish

Cacao Powder

Used in its raw, purest form to provide a warm, natural tint. This helps newutralize the "white cast" of the zinc oxide, allowing the balm to blend seamlessly into the skin while providing a hint of antioxidant-rich botanical color.
