Tallow Balm

An all-purpose tallow balm that can be used on dry cracked skin, baby bum, sunburn or just as a great moisturizer. We use locally sourced grass fed grass finished pasture raised beef fat to make our nutrient rich Tallow Balm.

Currently we have two scent options in our 2oz glass containers

-lavender and chamomile

Not familiar with tallow?

Beef tallow is a form of rendered fat that comes from gently extracting extra fat deposits after processing cow meat. The fat is slowly melted to preserve nutrients and separate it from the interior fat tissue, called suet.

Grass-fed tallow is what will change your skin for the better.

Grass-fed cows produce tallow full of vitamins and minerals your skin needs to thrive.

Tallow For Your Skin

Tallow contains high concentrations of fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, and K in a balanced combination with their activators. This is a big reason why beef tallow has such a profound impact on your skin + overall health.

Grass-fed tallow also contains Vitamin E (four times as much as grain-fed cows). It even has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties thanks to high concentrations of essential fatty acids your skin needs, like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid.

Here’s some of the science behind why using tallow for skin works so well:

• Beef tallow is incredibly effective in improving skin cell health due to the similar makeup it has to our skin. Our cell membranes are mostly fatty acids, with at least 50% being saturated fats. Tallow is also made up of about 50% saturated fats – with the remaining being monounsaturated fats.

Having such a similar makeup means that beef tallow is incredibly compatible with our cell biology.

And as you know, skin health starts at a cellular level.

• Another indication of its positive impact on our skin is its similarity to sebum. Sebum is the oily, waxy substance that moisturizes, lubricates, and protects your skin. Both sebum and tallow are mainly comprised of triglycerides (which have effective emollient + skin-replenishing properties).

Fun fact: Sebum even translates to “tallow” in Latin!
