Nana Latta Tallow Sun Balm (Fragrance-Free) SPF 30 mineral composition • lipid barrier • deep nourishment • pure formulation • for sensitive skin • 100 ml
Is your skin struggling with tightness, sun dehydration, or reactivity to chemical filters? Nana Latta introduces a concentrated mineral treatment blending 20% non-nano zinc oxide, raspberry seed oil, and grass-fed beef tallow to create a safe physical barrier against UV rays while effectively protecting the skin from photoaging.
Formulated completely free of water, essential oils, and synthetic fragrances, this pure natural balm shares a structural similarity to the skin's natural oils, allowing it to absorb instantly, blend seamlessly without clogging pores, and ensure maximum tolerance for even the most sensitive skin of children and adults alike.
Why we welcomed Tallow Cosmetics to PraveBio.cz
Nana Latta is a natural Dutch skincare brand committed to premium ingredient quality and a fully traceable origin. Their formulations feature grass-fed tallow sourced from Dutch pastures, are completely palm oil-free, and avoid synthetic fragrances entirely. Any scents they use are derived exclusively from pure essential oils.
What sets them apart is their signature processing method: the tallow is rendered at low temperatures and purified through natural filtration (including clay filtration), rather than chemical refining. This ensures the fat retains its natural fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. The brand also operates with a deep respect for animals, relies on local supply chains, and embraces a sustainable nose-to-tail philosophy.
Their curated range includes face and body care, deodorants, and scented candles. Every single product is anchored by a simple, highly functional formula.
Tallow Sun Balm Unscented – mineral tallow balm with 20% zinc oxide
Unscented tallow balm is for caring for the skin during time outdoors and in the sun. The base combines grass-fed beef tallow, raspberry oil, cocoa butter and 20% non-nano zinc oxide.
- Use: sensitive skin, family use, face and body during time outdoors.
- Formulation principle: a mineral layer on the surface of the skin, lipid care and reduced feeling of dryness.
- Unscented formula: without essential oils, without water, without coconut, olive or almond oil.
- How to apply: apply in an even layer to clean, dry skin before going outdoors and reapply the layer regularly.
The balm combines beef tallow, raspberry oil, cocoa butter and jojoba oil in a water-free formula that creates a richer, easy-to-spread film on the skin. Beeswax (Polyglyceryl-3) helps keep the balm cohesive, even in warmer weather.
After application, it leaves the skin supple, comfortable and protected from the feeling of dryness, even during longer periods outdoors.

Did you know?
Non-nano zinc oxide – zinc oxide is one of the mineral UV filters used in sun care. From a labelling perspective, however, it is important that the protection factor relates not only to the ingredient itself, but to the verified efficacy of the finished product. Tallow Sun Balm does not declare a laboratory-verified SPF, so it should not be viewed as a replacement for certified sunscreen during intense exposure. European Commission: Sunscreen products
For wider context on the behaviour of zinc oxide on the skin - in a clinical study involving repeated application of sunscreen with ZnO nanoparticles, the authors did not observe particle penetration into the viable epidermis or local cellular toxicity. This is, however, a study of a specific ZnO formulation, not confirmation of the SPF of this balm. PubMed: PMID 30448212
Free from oxybenzone and octinoxate – it does not contain these organic UV filters. Oxybenzone and octinoxate are often discussed in connection with the effects of some UV filters on aquatic environments and coral ecosystems. PubMed: PMID 30507815
Main benefits of Tallow Sun Balm
- Lipid base from beef tallow – Grass-fed beef tallow forms a rich, well-adhering base that nourishes the skin with lipids and helps reduce the feeling of dryness during time outdoors. Thanks to its water-free texture, the balm applies in an even layer and suits both face and body.
- 20% non-nano zinc oxide – The mineral ingredient stays on the surface of the skin and creates a visible protective layer. The finished balm is not SPF tested, so we do not state a protection factor or a duration of UV protection.
- Unscented and free from essential oils – The formula suits customers who do not want fragrance in care used on the face, around the eyes or on kids’ skin. The absence of essential oils reduces unnecessary sensory load, especially in heat and direct sun.
- Raspberry, jojoba and sunflower oil – Plant oils add lipid care and improve the spreadability of the rich tallow base. After application, the skin does not feel dry, and the balm works more easily into an even layer.
- Cohesive texture thanks to Cera Bellina – Polyglyceryl-3 beeswax helps keep the balm compact and adherent, even in warmer weather. After swimming, sweating or towel drying, the layer needs to be reapplied.
Note from the Pravé Bio editorial team: A published study on sunscreen labelling works with the recommendation to reapply every 2 hours, as well as after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
For Tallow Sun Balm, therefore, during normal sun exposure, reapply an even layer no later than after 2 hours; after water, sweat or towel drying, reapply immediately. The product is not SPF tested, so during longer periods in direct sun, combine it with shade, clothing and a hat.

Why Choose Nana Latta
The brand Nana Latta was founded in Belgium by Laura Majieva. The name in Chechen means Mother Earth and refers to the simple work with both animal and plant-based raw materials. Laura studied natural cosmetics formulation at Formula Botanica and runs the brand as a small-scale artisanal care, not as an anonymous cosmetic line.
The foundation of the brand is grass-fed beef tallow, complemented by plant oils, butters, waxes, and botanical ingredients according to the purpose of the specific formulation. Nana Latta works with small batches, waterless formulations, and a clear composition without fragrance where scent would unnecessarily burden sensitive skin.
The products are made by hand in Belgium, and the brand emphasizes traceable tallow origin, gentle processing, and practical use. For products that are not SPF tested, transparency is crucial: the composition may be suitable for care during outdoor activities but does not replace a certified sunscreen with a declared protection factor.
We included the brand in the PraveBio.cz range due to its simple waterless formulations, use of grass-fed tallow, and clear distinction from perfumed, complexly layered products. Nana Latta is suitable for customers seeking dense, functional care with a short composition and without unnecessary sensory stylization.
Compatible Lipid Care
Beef tallow is rich in fatty acids and forms a dense base that moisturizes the skin and helps maintain barrier comfort.

Waterless Formulations

For external use only. Before first application, we recommend conducting a tolerance test on a small area of skin. Avoid contact with eyes. The product is not SPF tested and does not declare a protection factor.

FAQs
Does the balm leave a white film on the skin?
A slight light tint may appear due to the content of non-nano zinc oxide. First, warm the balm in your hands and apply it in a thin, even layer; this will soften the white effect without unnecessarily wiping off the layer.
Is Tallow Sun Balm a sunscreen with SPF?
No. The product is not SPF tested and does not declare a protective factor. It contains 20% non-nano zinc oxide, but the finished balm is not intended to replace certified sunscreen during intense sun exposure.
How often should the balm be renewed when staying in the sun?
For regular outdoor exposure, renew the continuous layer at least every 2 hours. After swimming, sweating, or towel drying, reapply it immediately, as mechanical wiping significantly weakens the layer.
How much balm should be applied?
Apply enough product to create a continuous layer on the skin without any missed spots. With mineral balms, applying too thinly is a common mistake, so proceed in smaller sections of the body and spread the layer carefully.
When should the balm be applied?
Apply the balm approximately 15 minutes before going outside on clean and dry skin. This allows the physical layer to settle better and reduces wiping off when dressing.
Who is the product suitable for?
It is suitable for adults and kids who want a waterless, fragrance-free balm for skin care during outdoor activities. It is particularly practical for dry, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed skin.
Is the balm suitable for kids?
The formulation is free of fragrance and essential oils, making it suitable for children's skin. For infants and very young children, shade, airy clothing, and a hat should be prioritized; consult a paediatrician if unsure.
Can the balm be used on the face?
Yes, the balm can be applied to the face. Use a smaller amount, warm it well between your fingers, and avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Can it be used on the lips?
It can be used on the lips as a dense lipid layer if you are comfortable with the mineral texture and slight light film. For everyday wear, a separate lip balm is usually more practical.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is free of fragrance and essential oils. However, we recommend a tolerance test on a small area of skin before first use, especially for reactive skin.
Can the balm clog pores?
The formula is made without coconut, olive, and almond oils, which the brand deliberately omits for this type of product. For skin prone to clogged pores, apply a smaller amount and wash off the balm thoroughly in the evening.
What does non-nano zinc oxide mean?
Non-nano refers to larger particles of zinc oxide designed to create a mineral layer on the skin's surface. In practice, they may leave a slight white tint, which is common with mineral products.
How do mineral and organic UV filters differ?
Zinc oxide is among mineral UV filters. Organic UV filters work through a different mechanism and are often part of traditional sunscreens with verified SPF; the key is always the testing of the finished product and its declared protective factor.
Is the balm water-resistant?
The balm has a dense, well-adhering texture, but we do not claim laboratory-tested water resistance. After swimming, sweating, or towel drying, always reapply.
Is it suitable for the seaside?
Yes, as a dense skin care product for outdoor activities, it is practical even for trips to the seaside. During intense sun exposure, combine it with a certified sunscreen, shade, clothing, and regular layer renewal.
What is the difference compared to a regular tallow balm?
Tallow Sun Balm contains 20% non-nano zinc oxide and is formulated as a denser balm for care during outdoor activities. Regular tallow balms are usually intended primarily as nourishing care for dry areas without a mineral component.
Why is it fragrance-free?
During sun exposure and heat, the skin is often more sensitive to unnecessary sensory components. A fragrance-free formula is more suitable for the face, around the eyes, children's skin, and customers who do not want scents in their care products.
Does it contain essential oils?
No, the balm is free of essential oils. This makes it more suitable for sensitive skin and for use in areas where aromatic components could be unnecessarily disruptive.
Does it contain coconut or olive oil?
No. The formulation does not contain coconut or olive oil. It primarily uses raspberry, jojoba, sunflower, and castor oils from plant sources.
What is the complete composition?
The composition consists of pasture-raised beef tallow, zinc oxide, raspberry seed oil, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, polyglyceryl-3 beeswax, sunflower oil, castor oil, and tocopherol.
Why is beef tallow the base?
Beef tallow forms a stable, dense, and well-adhering lipid base. In the balm, it helps create a nourishing texture that moisturises the skin and reduces the feeling of dryness.
Is the tallow used halal?
For this product, the tallow is listed as grass-fed and halal certified. This is important information for customers who monitor the origin of animal ingredients and religious requirements for their processing.
What role does raspberry oil play?
Raspberry seed oil complements the tallow base with a lighter plant lipid component. It improves the feel upon application and helps ensure the dense balm does not feel too heavy.
Why is cocoa butter in the formula?
Cocoa butter strengthens the texture, adds density to the balm, and supports smooth spreading. It is also well-suited for anhydrous balms intended for dry and stressed skin.
What is Cera Bellina?
Cera Bellina is a polyglyceryl-3 beeswax. In the balm, it helps stabilise the texture, improves adherence, and supports even distribution of the product over the skin.
How should the balm be stored?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Anhydrous balms may soften at higher temperatures, so it is not advisable to leave them in a hot car or in direct sunlight for long periods.
What to do if the balm melts?
Allow it to solidify again at room temperature or briefly in the refrigerator. A change in consistency in warm conditions is common for anhydrous balms and does not necessarily mean the product is compromised.
How long does one package last?
It depends on the area of application and the frequency of reapplication. When used on the face, it lasts significantly longer than with regular application over the entire body during summer days.
How to remove the balm in the evening?
Wash off the mineral and lipid layer with a gentle cleansing product and lukewarm water. For the face, it helps to first massage the skin with a gentle oil or balm cleansing step and then finish with a mild gel.
Who is behind the Nana Latta brand?
