Grass-fed beef tallow
From grass-fed and finished cattle
The heart of the balm. Its fatty acids closely match your skin's own oils, so it absorbs instead of sitting on top, and it is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E and K.






What to expect
Use it on dry or patchy areas 2 to 3 times a day until your skin feels restored, then as needed. Here's what to expect.
The balm melts into skin, leaving tight, dry areas feeling soft and supple.
Skin stays comfortable for longer between applications.
Rough spots on hands and heels feel softer, and skin looks more even.
Once skin feels restored, apply a small amount whenever needed to keep it nourished.
Why tallow works
The outer layer of your skin keeps water in with a mix of lipids: cholesterol, free fatty acids and ceramides. When that layer runs low, skin turns dry, tight and rough.
Tallow's fatty-acid profile closely resembles human sebum. A 2024 scoping review of 19 studies concluded the evidence supports tallow as a moisturising, barrier-compatible emollient. We pair it with raw honey to draw moisture in and beeswax to seal it there.

The research
The review found that tallow's fatty-acid profile closely resembles human sebum and supports its use as a moisturising, barrier-compatible emollient. The authors call for more controlled trials.
