What to Do If Your Tallow Arrives Melted 🧴☀️

What to Do If Your Tallow Arrives Melted (Or Liquid!) 🧴☀️

Summer shipping can be tricky, especially when you're dealing with all-natural, handcrafted products like our whipped tallow. If your tallow arrives looking more like a lotion than a fluffy butter, don’t worry! It's totally normal and doesn't mean anything is wrong with your product.

Here’s why it happens, and exactly what to do about it:

🌡️ Why Did My Tallow Melt?

Our tallow products are made with simple, real ingredients, no synthetic stabilizers or waxes. That means they respond to temperature naturally. During warm months (or if your package sits in a sunny mailbox or delivery truck for a bit), it’s completely normal for whipped tallow to soften or even melt.

✅ Good News: It's Still 100% Safe & Effective

Even if it looks different than usual, the nourishing properties of tallow and the essential oils or infused herbs are all still intact. Melted tallow doesn't lose its benefits as it's just gone through a temporary change in texture.

🧊 What To Do If It Arrives Melted:

Don’t open it right away.
If it's warm and liquidy, let the jar rest upright at room temperature or pop it in the fridge for about 30–60 minutes.

Let it firm back up.
It’ll re-solidify into a balm-like consistency. While it may not be as fluffy as our original whipped texture, it’s still just as nourishing and ready to use.

Want to re-whip it?
If you’re feeling crafty, you can re-whip it! Just scoop the cooled product into a mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer until it’s fluffy again. Store in a clean jar with a lid.

Pro Tips:

Store your tallow in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight especially during warmer months.

Use clean, dry hands or a spoon to scoop it out, to keep your product fresh and long-lasting.

At The Tallow Spot, we don’t use fillers or synthetic stabilizers because we believe in keeping things clean and simple, which sometimes means your tallow will act like real food (because it is!). 
Please note: We do not offer refunds or replacements for melting, as it is a natural and expected reaction in summer months.
