HANDMADE TALLOW balm
what is tallow?
-
Tallow is animal fat that has been purified through a process called rendering. The fat is heated to a low temperature and slowly clarified, removing proteins, water, and other impurities. The rendering process results in a versatile fat that is shelf stable and used for cooking, skincare, and soap making. In our case, we use tallow from pasture raised bison and beef.
-
Tallow is full of triglycerides and contains more Omega-3 fatty acids than Omega-6 fatty acids, making it one of the best fats for a healthy lifestyle. These Omega-3 fatty acids are capable of nourishing and strengthening the skin barrier, due to its high biocompatibility. Tallow also contains essential vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, K, E, and B12, which make it a superior and nutrient dense skin food.
why does it work?
-
What we put on our skin affects our health. Many skincare products contain harmful ingredients like petroleum, synthetic fragrances, and words we can’t pronounce.
Because skin is the largest organ in our body, it can be a great indicator of imbalance. These imbalances include acne, discoloration, dryness, itching and various other forms of inflammation. By using our tallow balm, you can safely address these imbalances and experience the healing effects that come with each application. When we begin to care for our skin, we are caring for our whole body.
-
Tallow closely resembles our own skin’s sebum (the protective layer) Due to it’s compatibility, tallow is readily absorbed deep into the layers of our skin without clogging pores, unlike most petroleum based products. This makes it an ideal moisturizer, as a little bit goes a long way.

With clean hands take a pea sized amount and gently apply to skin. We use it on our faces and additionally anywhere as a spot moisturizer. Not intended or needed to be used like a traditional lotion as a little bit of this powerful balm goes a long way! Because we use essential oils we do not recommend using on your eyelids.
