Why is Sunscreen Important During The Spring & Winter Months?
Surprisingly, the sun’s UV rays are harmful during this time of year because the ozone layer is at its thinnest. So aging and skin-cancer causing UVA rays are actually at their highest (even though sunburn rays caused by UVB rays are at their lowest during this time).
Staying indoors may block most UVB rays, which cause sunburn, but allows more UVA rays through windows. UVA exposure has been linked to skin cancer, photoaging, and pigmentation issues. Therefore, being indoors near windows may not provide adequate protection against harmful UV rays.
Ditch the Harsh Additives—for Skincare You Can Trust

Climbing Kilimanjaro: A Revelation
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro allowed me to personally experience the immense power of nature and the blinding ultraviolet rays, with absolutely no shade. This profound experience made me realize the importance of reliable sun protection measures.
I've found that many sunscreens, including "natural" sunscreens, are often ineffective or even harmful because they contain chemicals or processed oils that can cause skin problems or worse.
Faced with the choice between the risk of sunburn and using risky sunscreen products, I realized the need for safer and more effective sunscreen options.
The founders of Sky & Sol-Max
My life changed dramatically when I discovered the healing power of animal-based nutrition. After switching to a carnivore diet, I lost 40 pounds and experienced profound health transformations.
It made me wonder: If animal-sourced nutrition can deliver such remarkable benefits, could the same principles be applied to skincare?
I delved into the skincare industry and made some shocking findings. Most mainstream skincare products are loaded with synthetic additives and harsh chemical ingredients. They seem to nourish the skin, yet actually damage its natural barrier, and aggravate sensitivity, redness and aging problems. In comparison, natural underrated skincare ingredients derived from animal sources.

How do I use this for my hair?
How do I use this for my hair?
To use tallow cream on your hair, follow these steps:
- Start with a small amount: A little goes a long way with tallow. Scoop a pea-sized amount of the cream, adjusting based on your hair length and thickness.
- Warm it up: Rub the tallow cream between your palms to soften and melt it into a smooth, oil-like texture.
- Apply to damp or dry hair: You can use it on damp or dry hair, depending on your needs:
For conditioning: Apply it to damp hair after washing to lock in moisture.
For styling or frizz control: Use it on dry hair to smooth frizz or flyaways. - Focus on ends: Tallow is rich and can be heavy, so it's best to focus on the ends of your hair where it's drier or more damaged, avoiding the scalp if you have oily hair.
- As a leave-in: You can leave it in as a natural conditioner. Tallow is deeply nourishing and can help restore moisture and shine to dry or damaged hair!
