Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about tallow, ingredients, shipping, or skincare? Here are the answers we get asked most often.
What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered beef fat — and one of the oldest, most trusted skincare ingredients in history. Ours comes from 100% grass-fed cattle and is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because tallow closely resembles the oils your skin naturally produces, it absorbs beautifully and leaves skin feeling nourished instead of coated.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Our products are made with simple, natural ingredients and contain no synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals, which is why many people with sensitive skin enjoy tallow-based skincare. That said, every person's skin is different. If you have known sensitivities, we always recommend a patch test first. Our Pure Tallow Soap is a wonderful place to start for sensitive skin.
Can I use this on my kids?
We made these products with our own family in mind. Children's skin can be more sensitive than adults', and essential oils may not be suitable for very young skin. We recommend a patch test first, and for children under 3, consult your pediatrician before use. Our Pure Tallow Soap is often a great option for little ones.
Do you use fragrances or synthetic chemicals?
Never. We use only pure essential oils for scent and keep every ingredient list short, simple, and honest. No synthetic fragrance. No parabens. No phthalates. No fillers.
Is there lye in your soap?
All real soap begins with lye — that's simply how soap is made. During the soap-making process, called saponification, the lye is fully transformed and does not remain in the finished bar. The result is a gentle, skin-safe soap.
Is this really worth the price?
We understand — our products cost more than what you'd find on a drugstore shelf. That's because ours are handcrafted in small batches using clean, carefully sourced ingredients instead of mass-produced fillers and synthetic additives. We believe skincare should be simple, honest, and made with ingredients you'd actually feel good about using. A little goes a long way — and your skin can feel the difference.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes. We handcraft everything in Jacksonville, Florida and ship throughout the United States with tracked shipping.
What if I don't like it?
Because our products are personal care items, we cannot accept returns on opened products. However, if something isn't right with your order, please reach out to us at floridasunandskin@gmail.com. We care about our customers and will always do our best to make things right.
