our values
We started Surfing Cow in Cardiff-by-the-Sea because our skin was wrecked by sun, salt, and chemical sunscreen. So we made something better: small-batch, tallow-based skincare with ingredients you can actually pronounce.
ingredients
10 ingredients, all named on the label: non-nano zinc oxide, grass-fed and finished tallow, shea butter, castor oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, arrowroot powder, kaolin clay, vitamin E oil, lavender EO.
why tallow
Tallow is the closest thing to your skin's own sebum. It absorbs instantly, doesn't clog pores, and has been used for centuries
