    New to Tallow?

    Tallow has been used for centuries as a deeply nourishing skin balm, long before synthetic creams and fillers became the norm.

    Rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, tallow helps support healthy, resilient skin while avoiding the need for synthetic fillers, fragrances or preservatives.

    Tallow is naturally rich in skin-identical lipids, meaning it closely mirrors the structure of our own skin barrier.

    This allows it to absorb easily, moisturise deeply, and support the skin’s natural repair process, without relying on water, preservatives, or unnecessary additives.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are your products safe for sensitive skin?

    Yes. Our grass-fed tallow balms are gentle, fragrance-free (or naturally scented), and formulated to soothe and protect even the most sensitive skin.

    How often should I use tallow balm?

    You can use it daily, as often as your skin needs hydration. Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage until absorbed, perfect for morning or night routines.

    Do you whip your tallow balms?

    We choose to leave our tallow balms unwhipped. While whipping can feel luxurious, it introduces oxygen, which may shorten shelf life and increase the risk of rancidity. It also adds volume without adding value - essentially, air. By keeping our balms pure and unwhipped, we extend shelf life and deliver more product, and more value, in every jar.

    Do your tallow balms smell?

    All of our products undergo multiple purification processes to ensure little to no odour remains after rendering. However, due to the natural nature of our ingredients and slight batch variations, a mild scent may still be present. This typically fades within 5–10 minutes after application.

    Are there any storage requirements?

    Our tallow balms can be safely stored in a cool, dark place and are best used within 12 months. Due to the natural properties of tallow, refrigeration is recommended during hot summer months to help prevent spoilage.

    Are your products environmentally friendly?

    All of our products are made with all natural ingredients and are environmentally friendly. Including our packaging.

    Do you accept returns?

    Due to the handmade nature of our products, we do not offer returns for change of mind, skin sensitivities, or adverse reactions but we guarantee quality and will replace any damaged items.
