Where can I use my Tallow?

Tallow truly is a game-changer when it comes to skincare and self-care routines. Beyond just facial skincare, this nourishing ingredient has a multitude of uses that help keep your skin, hair, and body in top shape. Here are some versatile ways to incorporate tallow into your daily routine:

Hands ๐Ÿ–๏ธ: Tallow works wonders as a deep moisturizer for your hands, especially during colder months when skin tends to get dry and cracked. Its rich, fatty texture creates a protective barrier, locking in moisture and shielding your skin from harsh environmental factors. Just massage a small amount into your hands for soft, nourished skin all day long.

Face ๐ŸŒŸ: Known for its deeply hydrating and healing properties, tallow helps improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and boost overall skin health. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids, tallow nourishes your skin from within. Apply a thin layer under makeup in the morning or use it as a night treatment to wake up to smoother, more radiant skin.

Hair Mask ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ: Tallow can be a game-changer for those with dry or damaged hair. Its nourishing properties work to hydrate the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and lock in moisture, leaving your hair soft, shiny, and healthy-looking. Simply massage tallow into your scalp and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before washing. For an extra hydrating treatment, coat your hair in tallow balm and leave it on for 30-45 minutes for silky, stronger strands.

Feet ๐Ÿ‘ฃ: Dry, cracked heels? Tallow is your solution. Its rich, emollient texture deeply hydrates and helps repair tough skin, making it perfect for dry feet. Apply before bed and wear socks overnight to lock in moisture, so you wake up with soft, smooth feet.

Elbows & Knees ๐Ÿฆต: These areas of the body often get dry, rough, and thickened skin. Tallowโ€™s deep-hydrating and soothing properties can help soften and nourish these spots. Just massage a bit onto your elbows and knees for noticeably smoother, more comfortable skin.

Babyโ€™s Sensitive Skin ๐Ÿ‘ถ: Tallow is a natural, gentle option for baby skincare, especially for little ones with eczema or dry patches. Its healing properties can calm irritation, hydrate, and protect delicate skin, making it a wonderful alternative to synthetic baby lotions or creams.

Tallow really is the ultimate multitasker, offering everything from hydration to healing, and even strengthening hair! We use Grass Fed - Grass Finished Beef free from hormones or antibiotics, making it especially beneficial for your skin and hair.

Begin with a small amount, about the size of a dime, and apply it to the desired area. If it feels too thick, simply use less for a lighter feel โœจ. We also recommend patch testing to ensure compatibility with your skin. ๐Ÿฉน

First Time Using Tallow?

โœจ Start small: A little goes a long way! Tallow is incredibly rich and nourishing - start with a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers before applying. Over applying can feel greasy. Start with less than you think you need - you can always add more!

๐ŸŒฟ Use on clean skin: For best results, apply to clean, damp skin to help lock in moisture and give your skin that soft, dewy glow.

๐Ÿง–โ€โ™€๏ธ More than just a face cream: Tallow is wonderfully versatile - use it as a full-body moisturizer, for dry hands, chapped lips, rough heels, or even on little onesโ€™ delicate skin.

๐Ÿ•’ Give it time: If your skin is used to synthetic ingredients, it might need a little time to adjust. Stick with it - most people notice smoother, calmer skin within a few days.

๐Ÿ’ซ Store with care: Keep your tallow in a cool, dry spot. During warmer months, it may soften - totally normal and wonโ€™t affect the quality!

What is the shelf life of your products?

Our products are handmade in small batches with โœจ no synthetic preservatives โœจ, so theyโ€™re best used within 12 months of opening. For maximum freshness, store them in a cool, dry place and keep out of direct sunlight โ˜€๏ธ.

๐Ÿงด Pro tip: Use clean fingers or a small spatula ๐Ÿฅ„ when scooping-your balm will thank you by staying fresh even longer! ๐Ÿ’›

To protect the quality of your tallow, heat ๐Ÿ”ฅ and light ๐Ÿ’ก should be avoided. Keep it tucked away in a dark cupboard ๐Ÿ—„๏ธ, away from sun โ˜€๏ธ and heat sources like stoves ๐Ÿณ or radiators ๐ŸŒก๏ธ. A cool, dark spot is your tallowโ€™s happy place!

Is your unscented tallow really unscented?ย ย 

Although our product is called "Unscented Tallow Balm," itโ€™s important to mention that it carries a subtle, naturally derived scent ๐Ÿฎ. Free from added fragrances or essential oils, this balm is thoughtfully crafted to be exceptionally gentle, making it perfect for even the most sensitive skin โœจ. Experience pure nourishment with no added irritants, just the natural goodness your skin deserves ๐Ÿ’–.

Can I use Tallow on my kids?

Tallow is generally safe to use on kids and offers several skin benefits due to its nourishing properties, such as essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’ง It can effectively moisturize dry skin, soothe diaper rashes, and heal minor irritations. ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ However, itโ€™s important to perform a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions, particularly if your child has sensitive skin. ๐Ÿ’ก While tallow is safe for most children, itโ€™s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician, especially for babies under six months old, to ensure itโ€™s appropriate for your childโ€™s skin. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ถ We recommend unscented for children.

What if my tallow is soft or liquid when it arrives?

During the warmer months, your products may be exposed to higher temperatures due to weather conditions ๐ŸŒก๏ธ. Please note that tallow melts at temperatures between 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit ๐Ÿงด. If your product arrives melted, don't worry! Simply store it at room temperature, and it will solidify again naturally. Once solidified, you can scoop your product into a bowl and rewhip it ๐Ÿ”„.

Rest assured, the melting process does not affect the potency of the product, and it remains fully usable ๐Ÿ’ช. As a result, we are unable to offer returns or exchanges for products that have melted during transit ๐Ÿšซ.

Thank you for understanding! ๐Ÿ™
