What is tallow balm? 

Tallow balm is a natural skincare product made from rendered animal fat, typically beef tallow. It is rich in vitamins and nutrients that nourish and hydrate the skin, making it a popular choice for those seeking a natural and effective moisturizer.

Why use tallow balm for skincare? 

Tallow is deeply nourishing because it contains fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and lipids that closely resemble the natural oils produced by human skin. This makes it highly effective in restoring moisture, reducing dryness, and supporting skin health.

Is tallow balm ok to use on any skin type? 

Yes! Tallow balm is suitable for most skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin. However, as with any product, it’s best to do a patch test to ensure compatibility with your skin.

How do I use tallow balm? 

• Take a small amount (a pea-sized dab is usually enough) and apply it to clean, dry skin.

• Gently massage it into areas such as your face, hands, or body.

Tallow balm can be used as a daily moisturizer, spot treatment for dry patches, or even as a night cream. We recommend starting it as part of your nighttime routine to see how the tallow absorbs into your skin, then use daily and nightly. 

Does tallow balm smell?

Pure tallow can have a mild, natural scent. However, our tallow balm is infused with skin-safe essential oils that not only smell good but they're beneificial to the skin too! If you'd prefer an unscented version, please reach out!

Is tallow balm safe for sensitive skin or conditions like eczema? 

Tallow balm is often well-tolerated by sensitive skin due to its simple, natural composition. Many people with eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions report relief from using tallow balm. If you have a known allergy or concern, consult a dermatologist before use.

Is tallow balm cruelty-free? 

Tallow is derived from animals but ours is ourced from grass-fed and ethically raised animals, making it a byproduct of sustainable agriculture. 

How should I store my tallow balm? 

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration but can be kept in the fridge for a firmer texture and extended shelf life.

Does tallow balm clog pores? 

Tallow balm is considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores. Its similarity to the skin’s natural oils allows it to absorb easily and balance oil production.

Is tallow balm environmentally friendly? 

Tallow balm is often considered environmentally friendly because it utilizes a byproduct of the meat industry, reducing waste.
