Question 1

What is tallow balm, exactly?

Accepted Answer

Tallow balm is rendered beef fat (specifically the suet fat surrounding the kidneys) whipped to a silky, skin-ready consistency. It's one of the oldest skincare ingredients in human history. We source exclusively from 100% grass-fed, US-raised cattle.

Question 2

Is tallow good for all skin types?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including oily and acne-prone skin. Tallow's fatty acid profile closely mirrors human sebum, so skin tends to regulate itself over time rather than overproducing oil. Start with a small amount and let it absorb fully. Most people see improved skin balance within 2-3 weeks.

Question 3

Does the Unscented formula have any scent at all?

Accepted Answer

Unscented contains zero essential oils or added fragrance. Rendered tallow has a very mild, neutral scent on its own. Most people describe it as barely noticeable. If you're sensitive to any fragrance, Unscented is the right choice.

Question 4

How long does one jar last?

Accepted Answer

A 2oz jar lasts most people 4-6 weeks with daily whole-face use. A little goes a long way. Tallow is highly concentrated compared to water-based creams. We recommend starting with a pea-sized amount, warming it between your fingers, then pressing into skin.

Question 5

Can I use tallow balm on my body as well as my face?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It works beautifully on hands, elbows, lips, dry patches, and any skin that needs moisture. Several customers use it head to toe after showering. The scented variants are particularly popular for body use.

Question 6

How should I store it?

Accepted Answer

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. No refrigeration needed. Tallow has a naturally long shelf life. Our balm is stable for 12+ months properly stored. If it melts in summer heat, it will re-solidify when cooled and the formula won't be affected.
