Frequently Asked Questions

Does it smell like beef?

Our tallow is carefully rendered and purified, so it has very little natural scent. In our scented balms, you’ll mainly notice the aroma of the essential oils, which is designed to be subtle rather than overpowering.

Will it clog pores?

Tallow-based balms can feel rich, so a little goes a long way. We recommend starting with a small amount and allowing it to absorb before applying more. As with any skincare product, how your skin responds can vary from person to person.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Our balms are made with simple, carefully selected ingredients and many customers with sensitive skin prefer uncomplicated formulations. However, everyone’s skin is different, so we recommend patch testing first, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

How long does it last?

Shelf life is typically around 12 months when stored correctly. Keep the balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight, and close the lid tightly after use.

Can I use it daily?

Yes, our balms can be used daily. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and apply more if needed. They can be used on the face or body wherever your skin feels dry or needs extra conditioning.
