Whipped Tallow Balm

Two ingredients. Organic grass-fed beef tallow and vanilla bean. That's the entire formula.

A 2 oz whipped balm for face and body — light, airy, and fast-absorbing, for anyone who wants a moisturizer they can read in four seconds.

Why two ingredients

Most moisturizers are mostly water, held together by emulsifiers, preserved with something, thickened with something else. Take all of that out and what's left has to actually work.

Tallow does. Its fatty acid profile is close to what your own skin produces, which is why it absorbs rather than sitting on the surface. It carries vitamins A, D, E, and K naturally. Whipping it makes it lighter than a traditional hard balm, so it spreads thin and sinks in instead of sitting heavy.

The vanilla bean is there for scent — a warm, soft note that takes the edge off tallow's natural smell.

What's in it

• Organic grass-fed beef tallow — rich in fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Vanilla bean — natural scent, nothing else

No water, no fillers, no emulsifiers.

How to use

Warm a small amount between your fingers — it melts fast — and massage into clean skin.

Use on face and body wherever skin feels dry or tight. Works best on slightly damp skin, straight after washing. Start with less than you think; it goes further than a lotion.

Good to know

Size: 2 fl oz

Keep the lid on and use clean, dry fingers.

Tallow is a real fat and responds to heat. In warm months the whipped texture can flatten or soften in transit — the balm is still perfectly good, and it firms back up at room temperature or in the fridge.

New to tallow? This is the one to start with. It's the simplest thing we make, and the smallest.
