Why This Balm Exists

Tallow is an incredible traditional ingredient, but on its own it only goes so far. We created this balm because skin that is dry, irritated, or depleted often needs more than surface moisture. By infusing tallow with magnesium and carefully selecting supporting ingredients, we built a formula designed to work deeper; helping support skin comfort, resilience, and long-term balance.

This balm was formulated to feel different from the moment you apply it. Not heavy, waxy, or overly simple for the sake of marketing. Every compound serves a purpose, whether that’s improving absorption, supporting the skin barrier, or enhancing overall effectiveness.

The result is not a trend-driven product, but a thoughtfully developed formula meant to deliver real, noticeable results with consistent use.

Why We Use Tallow

Tallow is a nutrient-dense fat with a fatty acid profile that closely resembles the lipids naturally found in healthy human skin. Because of this similarity, it integrates well with the skin barrier and helps support moisture retention more effectively than many modern plant-based oils.

Unlike water-based lotions that rely on emulsifiers and stabilizers, tallow provides direct lipid support to dry or compromised skin. It helps reinforce the skin barrier rather than sitting on the surface or evaporating quickly.

We use high-quality, grass-fed & finished suet tallow that is gently rendered to preserve its natural properties. When properly prepared and thoughtfully formulated, tallow is not heavy or greasy. It is deeply nourishing, well-tolerated, and especially beneficial for skin that struggles with dryness, sensitivity, or imbalance.

This is not about nostalgia or trends. It’s about using an ingredient that aligns with how skin is built and functions.

WHAT MAKES THIS BALM DIFFERENT

Most tallow balms stop at moisture. This formula was developed to support overall skin comfort, resilience, and balance over time. Every ingredient is included for a reason, working together rather than acting alone.

Ingredients Explained

Grass-Fed & Finished Suet Tallow
Our grass-fed and finished, food-grade suet tallow is gently wet-rendered from cattle raised in the Midwest. Suet tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins and naturally occurring antioxidants that closely mirror the lipids found in healthy skin, helping support moisture retention and overall skin barrier function.

Raw Manuka Honey
Manuka honey contains natural humectants and antioxidant compounds that help attract and retain moisture. It supports skin comfort, soothes stressed areas, and contributes to a balanced, healthy-looking complexion.

Organic White Beeswax
Beeswax forms a breathable protective layer on the skin, helping lock in moisture without suffocating it. Its naturally soothing properties support dry or sensitive skin while improving the balm’s structure and longevity.

Organic Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to moisturize without clogging pores. It helps balance hydration, soothe irritation, and support overall skin resilience.

Organic Babassu Oil
Babassu oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil that provides deep hydration without heaviness. It helps soften the skin, support elasticity, and improve overall comfort, especially for dry or compromised areas.

Pure Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium chloride supports skin barrier function and helps promote calm, balanced skin. When used topically, it complements the balm’s nourishing ingredients by supporting overall skin comfort and resilience.

Sorbitan Olivate (Olivem)
Derived from olive oil, this plant-based emulsifier helps bind the formula smoothly while supporting hydration. It improves texture and absorption without disrupting the skin barrier or causing irritation.

Why magnesium-infused?

Dead Sea magnesium chloride adds a functional layer that traditional skincare ignores/lacks. When applied topically, it supports skin regulation and durability, especially for dry or stressed skin, helping this balm do more than simply soften.

How To Use

Warm a small amount of balm between your fingers and massage into clean, dry skin.

This balm is designed to support dry, irritated, or depleted skin and can be used anywhere the skin needs extra nourishment and barrier support; just avoid getting in eyes or sensitive areas.

Because the formula is highly concentrated, start with a small amount and increase as needed. Use consistently and allow the skin time to respond.

What To expect

This balm is rich, intentionally so. It melts on contact and absorbs gradually, creating a supportive layer without feeling waxy or greasy.

Because the formula is concentrated and nutrient-dense, a small amount goes a long way. Skin often feels more comfortable, balanced, and supported with consistency rather than instantly transformed.

This is not a quick-fix cosmetic product. It’s designed to support skin function over time, especially for skin that has struggled with dryness, sensitivity, or imbalance.

"I simply couldn’t be happier with this balm. I’ve struggled to find the right skin care regimen for me. Since starting to use this daily I’ve cut everything else but face wash."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. This balm was formulated specifically for sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin. We use grass-fed suet tallow, magnesium chloride, and supportive botanicals with no harsh actives, synthetic fragrance, or unnecessary fillers. Many customers turn to this balm after other products have irritated their skin.

What makes this balm different from other tallow balms?

Most tallow balms focus on moisture alone. This formula was designed to go further by pairing high-quality suet tallow with magnesium chloride and functional supporting ingredients that help improve skin comfort, resilience, and balance. It’s not just tallow in a jar. It’s a deliberately formulated balm.

Why is this balm magnesium-infused?

Magnesium plays an important role in skin barrier function and cellular support. When applied topically, magnesium chloride can help calm stressed skin and support the skin’s natural repair processes. Infusing magnesium into the balm allows it to work alongside nourishing fats rather than acting as a separate step.

Where can I apply this balm?

This balm is designed for full-body use. Customers commonly apply it to areas experiencing dryness, irritation, redness, or barrier disruption. This typically includes neck, face, hands, arms, legs, abdomen, feet, and areas prone to sensitivity. It can be used anywhere the skin needs extra nourishment and support. Just avoid getting balm in your eyes, open wounds, and sensitive areas.

Will this feel heavy or greasy?

No. While the balm is rich and concentrated, it melts on contact and absorbs gradually without leaving a greasy or waxy residue. Most customers describe it as deeply nourishing yet breathable, not heavy.

How quickly will I see results?

Many customers notice improvements in skin comfort, softness, and overall appearance within the first few days of use. With consistent application, benefits often continue to improve as the skin barrier becomes more supported and balanced.

How often should I apply?

We recommend applying 1 - 2 times/day. In trouble areas, feel free to apply as often as desired.

How do I use the balm?

Warm a small amount between your fingers and gently massage into clean, dry skin. A little goes a long way. Use once or twice daily, or as needed, depending on your skin’s needs.

Can this be used during pregnancy?

Yes. This balm can be safely used during pregnancy. We recommend choosing the Unscented version, as essential oils, even high-quality ones, are generally not recommended during pregnancy. If you have specific concerns, always consult your healthcare provider.

When you’re ready, your first balm is waiting for you.
