Sunscreen is where our story started.
A closer look at Shaw Naturals, with the Gulf as our backdrop.
Why Shaw Naturals
Ingredient quality is in the details.
A short ingredient list is a starting point. We also care about where those ingredients come from, how they are prepared, and the purpose each one serves. That is the standard behind every Shaw Naturals formula.
01 / Thoughtful sourcing
Tallow with a sourcing story.
Grass-fed and grass-finished tallow is at the heart of our sunscreen and balms. We pay attention to the sourcing details behind the ingredient, and choose organic ingredients where practical.
02 / Purposeful formulas
Each ingredient earns its place.
Tallow, carefully chosen oils, mango butter and beeswax form the foundation of our jar formulas. Our face formulas use jojoba oil; our body formulas use coconut oil. Zinc oxide is the mineral UV-filter ingredient in our sunscreens.
03 / Hands-on care
Handmade. Hand-poured.
We make our products in small batches and pour them by hand. From ingredient selection to the finished jar, our process reflects the care and character of our small business.
Why Shaw Naturals
Just because it’s natural
doesn’t mean it’s non-toxic.
Natural is only the beginning. Ingredient quality, sourcing and preparation all deserve a closer look. Here is how we approach them at Shaw Naturals.

When comparing other tallow brands
Look for both terms and a clear sourcing explanation.
Check the exact oils and processing details—not only “natural” on the front label.
Read the entire ingredient list and ask what each ingredient contributes.
Look for a specific explanation of how the product is made.
Check for fragrance, essential oils and the specific product’s scent information.
Look for complete lists and sourcing details you can understand.
Distinguish the UV-filter ingredient from evidence for the finished formula.
Our farm-to-jar philosophy
Rooted in ingredients.
Made personal.
For us, farm-to-jar means staying connected to the ingredients we choose and the products we make. It is the character of grass-fed tallow, thoughtfully selected ingredients and a hands-on process, brought together in a jar you can get to know.
Founded by Nate and Colleen, Shaw Naturals began with mineral sunscreen. That same ingredient-first approach now shapes our face, body and lip care.
