solar protection

  • The intention of mineral melt is for you to be able to nourish and protect your sacred skin from the strong sun rays without any of the typical toxic ingredients.

  • tallow — profound hydration
    non-nano zinc oxid — gently sits on top of the skin without penetrating and protects against both UVA and UVB rays, making it effective for preventing sunburn (UVB) and skin aging (UVA).
    bees wax — a natural *humectant, and forms a protective barrier on the skin, which can help soothe irritated or inflamed skin and protect it from environmental factors like sun, wind, and cold. Antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory
    cocao — cocao powder is packed with antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols, which help fight free radicals. This can protect the skin from premature aging, environmental damage, and inflammation, promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance.
    cold pressed extra virgin olive oil —moisturizes, heals, and protects the skin while offering anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits.
    cold pressed argan oil — fights acne, moisturizes, heals, and restores skin tone and texture while offering anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
    mango butter — hydrates, soothes, and repairs the skin. Packed with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, anti-aging, moisturizing, and soothes irritated skin.
    calendula — this beautiful sunshine herb has soothing anti-inflammatory properties that calm irritated skin, its ability to promote skin healing by encouraging cell regeneration, and its natural antimicrobial effects that help prevent infection in minor cuts and abrasions. It also provides deep hydration, leaving the skin soft and nourished.
    rosemary — has powerful antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from environmental damage, stimulates circulation, promotes a healthier complexion, and its anti-inflammatory effects that reduce redness and swelling. Additionally, rosemary has antimicrobial properties that can help combat acne-causing bacteria, leaving the skin clearer and more balanced.
    st. john wort — has soothing anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated or inflamed skin, its ability to promote healing and reduce the appearance of scars, and its natural antimicrobial effects that protect the skin from infection. Additionally, it has mild sun protection properties, helping to shield the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays and supporting overall skin health.

mineral melt is approved by….

“Out of all my products, I am most proud of creating the mineral melt line. My goal was to create a sun protector that I actually looked forward to putting on, rather than dreading it—a product that was completely natural and aligned with my active lifestyle.
When those sunny months arrive, I’m using it on my chest, shoulders, face, and hands daily. And during ski season, I am always using it on my face before I head out into the bright snow.”

wild melts ingredients

  • 100% grass-fed grass-finished organic tallow

    Each jar was made with organic grass fed grass finished tallow, from only pasture-raised beef or bison from Prosper Meats and Lehi Ranch — both located in Colorado.

  • organic whole herbs + flowers

    These intentional herbal infused are always crafted organic whole herbs and flowers and never essential oils. Each of these herbs are ethically sourced from Equinox Center of Herbal Studies and Golden Poppy Herbs both in Fort Collins, Colorado.

  • organic apricot kernel oil

    The main carrier oil we decided to work with is a lightweight, cold-pressed, virgin organic apricot kernel oil, otherwise referred to by the botanical name Prunus armeniaca. This oil is a favorable lightweight base oil rich in Vitamin A and E and Oleic (C18:1) and Linoleic (C18:2) essential fatty acids—which are incredible for skin elasticity & softness.

with love,
katie

My intention in creating this company is for you to have a

moment

to give back to your one and only body

just for yourself

Instead of spending time & energy worrying about being exposed to the typical hormone-disrupting, toxic, unnatural “ingredients”… 

you can open up your jar with ease.

I deeply believe that you deserve to be able to nourish your skin without having to compromise your divine health.

My hope is that the essence and energy of wild melts can act as expansive reminders for us as a collective to go back to the basics + lean into the ancient wisdoms of healing & nourishing through nature in all areas of this beautiful life ✺

wild melts experiences ⤵

  • Wild Melts is the best whipped tallow I have tried (and I have tried many over the years). I appreciate Katie's dedication to sourcing the cleanest and most nourishing ingredients and the fact that she does not use essential oils. Her whipped tallow is one that I feel confident recommending to my patients, many of whom are trying to conceive. What we put on our skin has a direct influence on our reproductive health and essential oils can often disrupt the necessary balance we need for robust fertility. These whipped tallow balms are curated with such thought and painstaking attention to the finished product. Not to mention, they smell delicious with no beefy scent! I personally love to put it on every day and use the exfoliating herbs as well. I'll be a repeat customer and can't wait to see what else she creates over the years. Thank you! — Colleen

  • Really like the mineral melt SPF, especially for running. Seems to stay on well and doesn’t run into my eyes which is always kind of a problem. I went up to RMNP today at high altitude and seemed to protect well. I compared it with my normal spf 70 and it was pretty comparable in terms of protection. Good stuff! — Spencer

faq’s

common

  • Tallow is purified + rendered down animal fat that originally protected the kidneys—also known as the “leaf fat”. Wild Melts only sources tallow from colorado organic grass fed grass finished pasture raised farms of beef.

  • All beings, all bodies

    Just make sure that whichever wild melts you are interested in — check out the herbs that have been infused into that jar

    Wild melts can be used with all skin types, but especially sensitive skin!

  • Absolutely. Not only is Tallow safe for everyone — it’s actually incredible for babies and kiddos.

    • Diaper rashes

    • Cradle cap

    • Moisturizing

    • Eczema

  • Wild Melts can be used as:

    • Body + Face Moisturizer

    • Makeup remover

    • Facial Cleansing

    • Skin healing: rashes, irritated skin, wounds, dry skin

    • Scalp nourishment

    • Skin conditions like: eczema, psoriasis

  • We do! Each jar has a base of tallow or was infused with tallow

  • 100%
    Humans and animals typically store toxins in their fat.

    Consuming tallow or meat that are coming from food-lot conventional farms or farms that are spraying glyphosates or other pesticides is not good for your health or the health of the animal / planet.

    BUT when we choose to work with and purchase from farms that are organic, regenerative, only feeding their animals natural grass without any chemicals as well as allowing their livestock to roam without confinement—we are not only supporting our own health, but we are contributing to a cause that supports the animals and the planet

  • IMPORTANT question.

    2 main rules that must be followed:

    1. Water can never enter your jar of wild melts

    2. Always clean your hands prior to letting your fingers touch the tallow

    Also, wild melts does best in temps that aren’t too warm and aren’t too cold

  • Remember, Tallow is food.

    Your wild melts shelf life is anywhere between 6-9 months as room temp

    In general, Tallow has a few different lifespans.

    Room temp: 6-9 months

    Fridge: 12-24 months

    Freezer: forever

  • Yes, a whole plethora!

    • Dry skin

    • Acne

    • Eczema

    • Sensitive skin from radiation treatment

  • Yep — wouldn’t dare having it any other way.

    Our herbs, oil, and tallow are never sprayed with pesticides / glyphosates and all are following organic practices from start to finish.

  • I source from only grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised farms with regenerative and organic practices in Colorado.
