TINY TINTED TALLOW (Stick) - LIP/CHEEK BALM

Our TALLOW is: Hand rendered in small batches. Made from organic, pasture, humanely raised cows from a small farm here in Maryland. Our suet (not trim) is 100% grass-fed + finished, grain-free, vaccine-free, chemical-free, drug-free, steroid-free, pesticide-free, hormone-free, soy-free.

Our Tallow has so many BENEFITS for the skin:

Deep Moisturization: Tallow is rich in fatty acids like stearic and oleic acid, which closely mimic the oils (sebum) produced by human skin. This makes it an excellent emollient, helping to hydrate and lock in moisture without clogging pores.

Nutrient-Rich: It contains vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which can nourish the skin and support its overall health. These nutrients may help with cell regeneration and repair.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The fatty acids and CLA in tallow can help soothe irritation, redness, or inflammation, making it potentially beneficial for conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

Non-Comedogenic: Despite being a fat, tallow is surprisingly compatible with most skin types and doesn’t typically clog pores, as its composition aligns with the skin’s natural lipids.

Protective Barrier: Tallow forms a protective layer on the skin, shielding it from environmental stressors like wind, cold, or dryness while allowing it to breathe.

Antioxidant Effects: Vitamin E in tallow acts as an antioxidant, which may help combat free radical damage and slow signs of aging, such as fine lines or wrinkles.

Gentle and Natural: For those seeking minimalist or traditional skincare, tallow is free of synthetic chemicals, fragrances, or preservatives, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for sensitive skin.

Tallow for Eczema is a no brainer. We suggest for skin that is red and inflamed to start off with our Just Tallow. Then work up to our Lavender Infused (for redness and itch).. making your way to our Whip or Balm. Many of our customers have had AMAZING results treating their eczema with our tallow and it's helped them make it through a rough winter. Reach out if you have questions.

• Moisturizing and Barrier Support: Eczema often involves dry, cracked skin due to a weakened skin barrier. Tallow’s fatty acids, like stearic and oleic acid, closely resemble the skin’s natural lipids, providing deep hydration and helping to repair that barrier. This can reduce water loss and protect against irritants.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and other components in tallow have mild anti-inflammatory effects, which may soothe the redness, itching, and irritation common in eczema flare-ups.

• Nutrient Boost: Tallow from grass-fed animals is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, which support skin healing and regeneration. Vitamin A, in particular, is known to aid in skin repair, potentially easing eczema symptoms over time.

• Gentle and Non-Irritating: Unlike many commercial eczema creams that contain fragrances, alcohol, or synthetic preservatives, tallow is a natural, single-ingredient option. This makes it less likely to trigger reactions in sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

• No Harsh Chemicals: Eczema sufferers often need to avoid steroids or irritating additives. Tallow offers a minimalist alternative that aligns with the skin’s biology, potentially reducing flare-ups caused by incompatible products.

ABSOLUTELY NO colors, flavors (natural or artificial), preservatives, added sugar, sodium benzoate, citric acid, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, top allergens (corn, soy, nuts, gluten, dairy, fish) or other junk!
