After the first use I packed up the other spendy name brand lotion that I had been buying at a specialty place near home because it is very clear that my skin much prefers aloetallow❣️ I was skeptical, but now am a believer that this lotion is the best choice for my skin❣️ Thank you aloetallow 🥰Jennifer H.✓ Verified buyer
Which Carrot Oil Is in aloetallow?
The manufacturer confirms that our carrot seed oil is steam-distilled. It is an essential oil, not a carrot-root-infused carrier oil. These ingredients should not be treated as interchangeable.
This ingredient information does not establish a beta-carotene content, a skin-color effect or an SPF. aloetallow makes no sun-protection claim.
- Carrot seed essential oil: manufacturer-confirmed steam distillation
- Daily moisturization: an aloe-forward lotion with tallow, coconut oil and shea butter
- No SPF claim: this lotion does not replace sunscreen
The Lotion Format in Your Daily Routine
aloetallow combines an aloe-based phase with oils and fats in an emulsified lotion. The carrot seed essential oil is one component of the finished formula; it is not sold here as a standalone oil.
The product format is designed for everyday face and body use:
- Lightweight lotion format in an 8 fl oz pump bottle
- Grass-fed beef tallow, coconut oil and shea butter provide the oil-and-fat portion
- Aloe vera juice is the first listed formula component
- Pump bottle: easy to apply head to toe after a shower
A Simple Daily Moisturizing Routine
Use the lotion as part of a regular moisturizing routine:
- Moisturize daily, right after your shower, while skin is still slightly damp
- Apply to clean, intact skin
- Patch test before regular use, especially if you are sensitive to essential oils
- Reapply to dry areas as needed
Eight ingredients. Every one of them earned it.
Most lotions have 22. We chose 8.
Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe vera juice is the first listed component of this aloe-forward lotion.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Wet-rendered grass-fed beef tallow contributes to the lotion's emollient feel.
Coconut Oil
Medium-chain fatty acids with antimicrobial properties. Fast-absorbing, supports barrier function.
Shea Butter
Oleic and stearic acids plus anti-inflammatory triterpenes. Well tolerated by reactive skin.
Carrot Seed Oil
Steam-distilled from Daucus carota seeds. This ingredient is an essential oil.
Vegetable Glycerin
Draws moisture into the barrier and holds it there. Comedogenic rating of 0.
Emulsifying Wax NF
Holds the formula together as a lotion, not a balm. No fragrance, no irritants.
PE 9010 Preservative
PE 9010 combines phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin to help protect this water-containing lotion from microbial growth.
How the lotion is put together.
Tallow in the oil phase

What This Ingredient Does Not Establish
Carrot seed oil appears in our published formula components. Its presence does not establish that the lotion deposits color or gradually deepens a tan.
Use aloetallow for moisturization. We do not promise a change in skin color or a particular number of extra tan days.
Moisturizing After a Spray Tan
If you use a spray tan or self-tanner, follow that product's aftercare instructions and check which moisturizers it permits.
aloetallow is a daily moisturizer. We have not established a specific tan-extension effect for the finished lotion or for its carrot seed essential oil.
Read our tan extender lotion guide for the moisturizing routine.

What customers actually say.
As a surfer, I’m constantly in saltwater and sun. This stuff saves my skin. My tan lasts longer, my skin doesn’t flake, and it’s not greasy, I’m hooked
I play soccer on the weekends and in the sun. Skin drys out pretty often and this lotion keeps it hydrated. I apply usually after shower in the AM.
Sun, salt water, and wind usually wreck my skin. This stuff brings it back overnight. The tallow + aloe combo just hits different.

Frequently asked questions.
Does carrot oil actually help maintain a tan?
We do not claim a tan-maintenance effect for the steam-distilled carrot seed essential oil in aloetallow. The finished product is a daily moisturizer, and we have not established a specific number of extra tan days.
Will this turn my skin orange?
aloetallow is a moisturizing lotion, not a self-tanner or color-depositing product. We do not claim that its steam-distilled carrot seed essential oil creates an orange or golden tint.
Is this a tanning accelerator?
No. aloetallow is a face and body moisturizer. It is not a tanning accelerator, self-tanner or sunscreen, and makes no SPF claim.
What's the difference between carrot seed oil and carrot oil?
The manufacturer confirms that aloetallow uses steam-distilled carrot seed essential oil. A carrot-root-infused carrier oil is a different ingredient. The name carrot oil alone does not establish composition or beta-carotene content.
