Sun-soaked days on the water led us to create skincare we trust on our own family. Cayo Tallow Co. was born in Key West, handcrafting simple, reef-safe tallow formulas that actually protect and nourish your skin. From our boat to your everyday rituals, every jar is made with care, clean ingredients, and the people we love most in mind.
From Our Boat to Your Skin
Why We Started
Cayo Tallow Co. began with one simple goal: create skincare we felt completely confident using on our own family.
Living in Key West and working as captains on the water, we spend countless hours under the Florida sun. We searched for a sunscreen that was truly clean, effective, and made with ingredients we trusted—but even the best options contained ingredients we didn't feel comfortable putting on our skin every day. So we decided to make our own.
What started as homemade sunscreen for our family quickly became something friends and neighbors began asking for. Before long, we found ourselves making extra batches to share with our community, and Cayo Tallow Co. was born.
Every product is handcrafted in small batches using grass-finished tallow and thoughtfully selected natural ingredients. We choose grass-finished tallow because it's naturally rich in skin-loving vitamins and beneficial fatty acids, while sourcing from cattle raised without synthetic pesticides helps us create products we feel good about using ourselves.
Our formulas are simple, reef-safe, and made without unnecessary fillers because we believe quality starts with every ingredient that goes into the jar. By making each batch by hand, we can ensure the care, consistency, and attention to detail that our family—and yours—deserves.
Whether we're on the boat, at the sandbar, or enjoying another beautiful day in the Florida Keys, our products are used the same way we created them: every day, by the people we love most.
From our family to yours, thank you for trusting Cayo Tallow Co.
