Why Tallow?

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.

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.

Benefits at a glance

Skin-compatible lipids

Fatty acids that closely resemble skin’s natural sebum help support barrier comfort and resilience.

Water-free purity

No water means no traditional preservatives—ideal for minimalists and sensitive skin types.

Concentrated & long-lasting

A pea-sized amount goes a long way, making each jar an excellent value.

Quiet-luxury formulas

Small-batch, pasture-grazed sourcing and thoughtfully chosen aromatics.

How to use

  1. Warm a pea-sized amount between clean fingertips.
  2. Apply to slightly damp skin (face or body) and massage until absorbed.
  3. Spot-treat dry areas (hands, elbows, belly, heels) as needed.

Always patch test. For babies or very sensitive skin, choose the unscented option.
