The Secret to My Best Tan Ever—No Chemicals, Just Glow

With the blessing of working remotely, we’ve been able to visit some beautiful places. Each beach town has its own vibe—and its own wall of sun products.

And yes… I’ve tried so many of them. They had to be clean and crunchy enough for me to even consider using, of course.

But last summer, I made a discovery right here at home in Michigan that changed the game—no plane ticket required.

It wasn’t a new product from an exotic beach boutique.

It was something I already had in my bathroom cabinet:

✨ Eat2Live Tallow Balm.

Yep. That’s what I used for tanning lotion.

And let me tell you—it gave me the best tan I’ve ever had.

• Even tone
• Deep bronze
• Zero dryness
• No peeling
• And no sticky, synthetic residue

It felt like the perfect combo of sun-kissed + skin-fed.

Here’s what no one tells you: most tanning oils are loaded with chemicals or seed oils that damage the skin barrier, block Vitamin D, and leave you dried out and depleted underneath all that bronze.

Even the “natural” ones often miss the mark with ingredients that coat the skin but don’t nourish it.

The result? You tan faster—but you also age faster.

Here’s what makes tallow balm different (and better):

• ✅ Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
• ✅ Bioavailable healthy fats that soak in easily
• ✅ Anti-inflammatory and deeply reparative
• ✅ Supports collagen and skin elasticity
• ✅ Doesn’t block Vitamin D production

Instead of frying your skin, you’re feeding it—right when the sun opens your pores and makes it most absorbent.

That’s when the magic happens.

At first, I thought, “Maybe this just works for me?”

But then the messages started rolling in:

Even an older woman called me after spending the summer in Florida. Her tan looked so healthy and radiant that her friends started asking, “What are you using?”

She ended up buying a case of tallow balm—just to hand out as tanning lotion. 😄

Because when something works… it works.

Honestly, any of our Eat2Live balms will work beautifully. They all share the same nourishing, healing base.
