Everything You Need to Know About Your Tallow Balm
Simple answers to help you get the most from your balm.
Apply it anywhere your skin needs it, face, lips, hands, heels, elbows. It's an all-over moisturiser that melts on contact and absorbs quickly, leaving skin nourished without feeling greasy.
Tallow Balm? Same ingredients, different texture. Tallow Balm is rich and dense, best for targeted use on very dry or cracked areas. Whipped Tallow Balm is aerated for a lighter, fluffier feel that spreads easily as a full-body moisturiser. Think butter vs. whipped cream, same benefits, different feel. Whipped suits warmer months or quick routines; regular balm suits winter or bedtime.
Tallow is a natural fat, so it responds to temperature, firmer when it's cold, softer when it's warm. This is normal. Just warm a small amount between your hands before applying.
Yes. If it turns grainy or overly soft from temperature shifts, melt it gently over low heat, pour it back into the container, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to restore a smooth texture.
Because there are no fillers, stabilisers, or synthetics, just real ingredients. Seasonal changes, the cow's diet, and storage conditions all naturally affect texture. Variation is a sign of authenticity, not inconsistency.
It has a subtle, natural, creamy scent, since the tallow is never bleached or deodorised. If you're sensitive to smell, try a scented option infused with essential oils instead or add a drop of your own to an unscented balm (patch test first).
Yes, our balm is gentle enough for delicate baby skin, including dry cheeks and nappy rash. Always patch test first: apply a small amount and wait 24 hours to check for reaction. For babies, we recommend the unscented version, citrus-based scented balms can increase sun sensitivity.
This is usually a temporary adjustment phase as skin transitions from synthetic products, and it typically passes within a few weeks. If breakouts persist, worsen, or cause discomfort, stop using the balm and check with a skincare professional, not every skin type responds the same way to any product.
No, but it is a natural way to support smoother, healthier-looking skin. It's rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K plus nourishing fatty acids. It won't freeze anything, but it does feed your skin what it needs.
