Frequently Asked Questions
What is tallow skincare?
Tallow is rendered beef fat traditionally used to moisturize and protect the skin. Its naturally occurring fatty acids are similar to those found in healthy skin, making it a rich option for dry areas that need lasting moisture
Where does your tallow come from?
Our skincare is handcrafted in small batches using grass-fed suet tallow from cattle raised on our Alabama farm. Suet is the nutrient-rich fat surrounding the kidneys and is especially prized for skincare.
Does tallow skincare smell like beef?
Properly rendered tallow has a mild, neutral scent. Our scented options include carefully selected botanicals and essential oils, while Naked offers the simplest unscented formula.
Which Tallow Balm Stick should I choose?
Naked has the fewest ingredients and no calendula or added essential oils.
Calendula includes calendula-infused jojoba oil with no added essential oils.
Calm features lavender, vanilla and chamomile.
Citrus has a bright blend of sweet orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime and bergamot.
Botanical combines the earthy character of tallow with a light rose scent.
What is the difference between the whipped balm and the Tallow Balm Stick?
Both offer rich, tallow-based moisture. The whipped balm has a soft, airy texture that is scooped from a jar. The solid stick glides directly onto the skin for quick, mess-free application and easy travel.
Where can I use tallow balm?
Apply it to dry hands, elbows, knees, cuticles, heels or other areas needing extra moisture. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Can I use it on my face?
Many people use tallow-based products on the face, but every complexion responds differently. Begin with a small amount on a clean patch of skin before applying it more widely. Anyone who is acne-prone or working with a dermatologist should follow their provider’s guidance.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Naked has the shortest ingredient list and is the best place to start for anyone avoiding botanicals or added essential oils. Patch test every new skincare product before regular use.
Can children use your products?
Many families use tallow balm as an everyday moisturizer. Children can have especially sensitive skin, so begin with a patch test and choose a simple formula such as Naked. Ask your child’s healthcare provider if you have allergy or skin-condition concerns. For external use only.
How much should I apply?
A little goes a long way. Glide or apply a small amount, massage it into the skin and give it a moment to absorb before adding more.
Does tallow balm feel greasy?
Tallow is naturally rich, but using a small amount helps it absorb comfortably. If it feels heavy, use less during your next application.
How should I store my tallow skincare?
Store it upright at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Avoid leaving it inside a hot vehicle. If a stick softens, place it upright in a cool room and allow it to firm again before use.
Why does my product look or feel slightly different from my last one?
Every product is handcrafted in small batches with natural ingredients. Small variations in color, scent and texture are normal. Temperature changes can also affect the texture without changing the product’s intended use.
