Why Tallow?
Tallow is naturally rich in skin-compatible lipids (like stearic and palmitic acids) that support the skin barrier without the water-based additives and preservatives found in typical lotions. Our balms are water-free, small-batch, and crafted for sensitive skin.

Who it’s for
- Sensitive or reactive skin
- Families seeking simple, clean formulas
- Those avoiding preservatives and fragrances found in water-based lotions
- Anyone wanting a richer night cream or dry-weather rescue
Balm vs. Lotion (simple comparison)
| Tallow Balm | Typical Lotion |
|---|---|
| Oil-based, water-free | Water-based (requires preservatives) |
| Short, pronounceable ingredient lists | Often longer INCI lists |
| Barrier-supporting, gentle for sensitive skin | Varies by formula |
| Rich occlusion to prevent transepidermal water loss | Lighter feel; may rely on emulsifiers and silicones |
Tip: Use balm after cleansing while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture.
