Jon and Gabrielle, founders of Ritual Organics

Meet the founders

Still just the two of us.

Hey, we're Jon and Gabrielle. A few years ago we couldn't find a clean daily balm we trusted on our own skin, so Gabrielle started whipping her own in our kitchen from ingredients we could actually pronounce. Friends kept asking for jars, and Ritual Organics was born.

It's still just the two of us. We live on the North Shore of Oahu, spend most of our days outside, and read every review and answer every email ourselves. Thanks for being here.

Frequently asked questions

Will it leave a white cast?

Not when you rub it in. The non-nano zinc is whipped into the balm so it melts into skin instead of sitting on top. Work it in fully and you get the protection without the ghost face.

Will it break me out?

Tallow has a lipid profile close to human skin, which is why it tends to sit well even on acne-prone skin. Every ingredient in it is non-comedogenic.

If a tallow product has broken you out before, it was likely a heavier one. Ours is whipped, so a small amount spreads thin and absorbs instead of sitting on top.

Is it safe for my kids?

Six ingredients, no synthetic fragrance, no chemical UV filters, no preservatives. Plenty of parents in our community use it on their kids, faces included.

We're not doctors, so check with your pediatrician and patch test a small area first.

I react to regular sunscreen. Will this be different?

Possibly. Most reactions trace back to chemical UV filters, synthetic fragrance, or preservatives, and none of those are in here.

The full list is grass-fed beef tallow, organic jojoba oil, non-nano zinc oxide, organic vitamin E, organic rosehip oil, and organic lavender oil. Read it against whatever you've reacted to before, and patch test first.

Why does it cost more than a drugstore sunscreen?

Because of what's in it. Grass-fed, grass-finished tallow, certified organic oils, and non-nano zinc oxide cost several times what a drugstore base costs, and we whip it by hand in small batches.

Shipping is included rather than added at checkout. And a jar runs three to six months on your face and neck, which works out to roughly twenty to forty cents a day.

How long does a jar last?

The jar is 2 oz and a little goes a long way. On your face and neck daily, expect three to six months.

If you're covering larger areas like your arms and chest, closer to one to two months.

Is this for everyday wear or for the beach?

Everyday wear. Face and neck, every morning. Jon wears it for an hour and a half of surfing.

For a full day at peak sun on the beach, we'd still put a heavier sport product with a tested rating over the top of it. We'd rather tell you that than oversell this.

Does it work on deeper skin tones?

Mostly yes. Around nine in ten people who've told us about it have had no white cast, and a handful have.

Use a small amount, warm it between your fingers first, and build thin layers rather than one thick one. If it still doesn't disappear on your skin, email us inside 30 days and we'll refund you. You keep the jar.

Does it sting your eyes when you sweat?

No. There are no chemical UV filters, which are usually what makes conventional sunscreen burn. It's just grass-fed tallow, non-nano zinc, and organic oils.

What does it smell like?

Not like tallow, we promise. The scent comes entirely from organic lavender oil: soft, natural, and light. No synthetic fragrance, nothing perfumey, and it fades as it absorbs.

Is it reef-safe?

Yes. Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral that sits on top of your skin, and there are no oxybenzone or octinoxate filters.

Who is it for?

All skin types, including sensitive skin and kids. Six ingredients, no synthetic fragrance, and no endocrine disruptors.

Love this product with simple ingredients!

Love that this product has simple ingredients especially for a sunscreen. As a health and wellness provider for over 20 years, ingredients matters to me! I love supporting other small entrepreneurs and a product that is chemical free nontoxic especially a sunscreen with all the normal harsh chemicals that they put in them these days. So thank you for creating this and I love Tallow Products because it’s so close to our own natural skin and it absorbs in so easily and effortlessly! Namaste to you!

Thank you for allowingI am living in south Florida

Thank you for allowing me to share a review. I am living in south Florida. The sun scorches us here. I have always looked for a safe sun block because I have had Mohs surgery on my nose. I spent the day on the boat for the last few days and I used the Whipped Tallow Sun Balm. My skin has no sign of burning as it has when I have used other sunscreen and my skin feels soft. I have been using it at night as well. I have fewer wrinkles for which I find really amazing! It’s taken 75 years to find this! Again, thank you!

Love Prodcut - so do the bugs

Really like this sunscreen. My only 😑 is that the bugs like it too. Have you found a way to combat that? I work with horses and use your sunscreen to protect my skin from the sun. The gnats like to find me and sit on my skin. Do you experience the same? How can I combat the bugs?

Your product is great and amazing stuff! The texture is very light and delicate, and the fragrance is pleasant but not too strong! I have been giving your product to friends and acquaintances, and they all have reported back positively. Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up! :)

Love how soft my skin feels after using!

I have been using this product for approximately a month now, and I absolutely love it. The fragrance of lavender is light and subtle. You simply take a pea sized amount and put it in your palms, rub them together for a bit, and then apply to your face (or wherever you may have extra dryness, I've actually been applying this to scars I have as well). My skin feels sooooo soft after using! I love that it offers sun protection, but I love it even more because of its moisturizing effects and that it can be used daily!

Ritual Organics whipped tallow + non-nano zinc daily sun

I’ve been trying to be more intentional about what I put on my skin, especially with all the time I spend outside in the Texas sun with my family and grandbabies. ☀️ I recently picked up Ritual Organics Tallow + Zinc Sun Balm and I’ve honestly been impressed.
It feels super nourishing without being heavy or greasy, and I love that it uses simple ingredients like grass-fed tallow and non-nano zinc oxide instead of a bunch of harsh chemicals. My skin stays moisturized while still feeling protected during long days outside. The texture melts in nicely, and the light lavender scent is subtle and calming.
If you’ve been looking for a more natural sunscreen option that also leaves your skin feeling soft and healthy, this one has definitely earned a spot in my daily routine. ✌️💛🫶

Love this stuff! Have tried many different types of mineral and “cleaner” sunscreen

Love this stuff! Have tried many different types of mineral and “cleaner” sunscreen, but this is my favorite by far! One note of caution: make sure you follow their instructions to start small with a pea-sized amount. I thought I started small but it was still too much the first time and my face smelled like a grill the whole day. The next time when I started with just a sliver and added more as needed, I didn’t notice a beef smell at all. Coverage was great, no white cast, starts to improve the condition of my skin already. Will definitely reorder. Also love that the packaging is all recyclable.

Will never use anything else!

I bought this knowing it is better protection for my babies. It was velvety smooth, easily spread, left NO messy oily feeling or grease feeling. I already bought a second jar and I have barely touchrd my first yet. Amazing product and I love that it is chemical free!
