Why Tallow?

Using tallow to nourish skin is a concept that is centuries old. It’s considered one of the original skincare ingredients and has been used throughout history for its therapeutic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-aging properties.

Tallow is rendered beef fat that goes through an extensive purification process. Tallow from 100% grass fed beef is naturally high in bio available fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K that are easy to absorb and are essential for optimal skin health.

What makes tallow so unique when it comes to skincare? It has a very similar cellular makeup to your own skin, unlike most other products on the market. Because tallow is so compatible to the skin, it can easily penetrate your skin’s lipid barrier and provide deep hydration without clogging your pores. It’s simple, pure and the most natural feeling thing you’ll ever put on your skin.

How Do I Use Tallow Balm?

Our tallow balms are extremely versatile and can be used in a number of different ways.

On the face or body, tallow balm can be used for: dry skin, chapped lips, facial moisturizer, aging skin, eczema, diaper rash, bug bites, sunburn, stretch marks, acne, cracked heels, chapped lips, rashes/reactions, scrapes, scars, makeup remover, baby balm, and the list goes on!

Where Does Your Tallow Come From?

We source our tallow from a local Pennsylvania farm that practices sustainable agriculture. The cows are 100% pasture raised, grass fed and grass finished. They are raised naturally with no chemicals, no GMOs, and no hormones

Do I Need To Refrigerate My Balm?

Tallow is naturally very shelf stable and does not need to be refrigerated. When stored in a sealed container, in a cool dry location, your balm will be good for up to a year.
