"Finally, something that works for my sensitive skin! Best of all I’m not putting any chemicals onto my face that potentially has long term side effects." - Amanda (46 years old)

If you've been noticing your skin feels drier no matter what you use... if those fine lines seem to appear overnight... or if you're tired of spending hundreds on products that sit half-used in your bathroom cabinet, you're not alone. What if the real problem isn't that you haven't found the "right" product yet? What if everything you've been told about skincare has been backwards? Here's what changed everything for thousands of women just like you.

1. Your Skin Has Been Starving (And Moisturizers Are Making It Worse)

1 webp.webp__PID:64402f2b-db45-49b0-8ef0-8bdf441ab68d

You apply moisturizer religiously. Maybe even that expensive one with peptides and hyaluronic acid. Yet by noon, your skin feels tight again. By evening, those lines around your eyes look deeper. Here's what the beauty industry doesn't want you to know: most moisturizers are 70-90% water. They create the illusion of hydration, but as that water evaporates, it actually pulls moisture FROM your skin. It's like drinking salt water when you're thirsty – it makes the problem worse. Tallow & Honey Balm works completely differently. Grass-fed tallow has a fatty acid profile nearly identical to your skin's natural oils. Instead of sitting on top and evaporating, it actually absorbs deep into your skin's layers, delivering vitamins A, D, E, and K directly where they're needed. One jar replaces your day cream, night cream, eye cream, and neck cream. Women tell us they use less than half of what they used with regular moisturizer because their skin stays nourished for hours, not minutes.

2. It Naturally Triggers Your Skin's "Youth Proteins" (Without Harsh Retinoids)

2.2 webp.webp__PID:7fe98e64-a5a5-498f-9441-3991d0d5fa7d

You've probably heard you need retinol for anti-aging. But then comes the redness, the peeling, the months of "purging" that make you look worse before you (hopefully) look better. What dermatologists rarely mention: grass-fed tallow naturally contains retinoids – the same vitamin A compounds in those harsh prescription creams – but in a form your skin actually recognizes and can use without irritation. Even more powerful? Raw honey (not the processed kind in most skincare) contains natural hydrogen peroxide that gently resurfaces your skin while you sleep. It literally dissolves dead skin cells while feeding healthy ones. Sarah, 52, from Austin told us: "I was scared to stop my retinol cream after 5 years. But the tallow balm gave me the same smoothing effect without any of the sensitivity. My aesthetician asked what I changed – she said my skin looked 'calmer but younger.' That's exactly how I feel."

3. Your Grandmother's Beauty Secret (That Science Now Proves Works)

3 webp.webp__PID:d1ecbbf7-1b23-4147-967c-c2cb52acb214

You weren’t made for alcohol-based creams and fragrance-loaded serums

You weren’t made for oil-stripping cleansers that leave you flaky, red, and dependent

You were made for nourishment — deep, rich, biological nourishment.           

Before the beauty industry convinced us we needed 12-step routines, women had radiant skin well into their 70s and 80s. What did they know that we've forgotten? They used animal fats – particularly tallow from grass-fed cattle. It wasn't trendy or marketed. It was wisdom passed from mother to daughter. Modern science now proves what they intuitively knew: tallow is bioidentical to human sebum. Your skin literally can't tell the difference between tallow and its own natural oils. That's why it never causes breakouts, never feels greasy, and works for every skin type. The beauty industry pivoted to synthetic ingredients not because they work better – but because they're cheaper to produce and have longer shelf lives. Your grandmother's beauty secret was abandoned for corporate profits.

4. The "Sandwich Effect" That Locks In Moisture for 12+ Hours

4 webp.webp__PID:25c0f11d-395f-4fb0-ba62-559c23fe384d

You know that feeling when you apply moisturizer at 7 AM and by lunch your skin feels like paper? That's because most creams can't create what dermatologists call an "occlusive barrier" – a protective seal that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Our unique blend creates what we call the "sandwich effect":
• Tallow delivers deep nutrition to lower skin layers
• Raw honey pulls moisture from the air into your skin (it's a natural humectant)
• Beeswax creates a breathable shield that locks everything in It's like giving your skin a protective bubble that lasts all day. Women regularly tell us they wake up with their skin still feeling soft and plump from the night before. No more rushing to apply moisturizer after your morning shower. No more midday touch-ups.

5. One Jar Replaces Your Entire Medicine Cabinet (Seriously)

Here's what Jennifer, a mother of three from Colorado, keeps in her bathroom now: our Tallow & Honey Balm. That's it.

She uses it for:

• Her wrinkle cream
• Her daily face and neck moisturizer
• Her daughter's eczema patches
• Her husband's razor burn
• Kitchen burns (it has natural antimicrobial properties)
• Her son's scraped knees (goodbye, chemical-filled Neosporin)
• Diaper rash on the baby
• Her dry, cracked hands from winter weather
• Even her lips when she runs out of lip balm

This isn't a coincidence. Before modern chemistry labs, tallow-based balms were the household healing remedy for everything. One jar, countless uses.

Think about what you currently spend on face cream, eye cream, hand cream, healing ointments, and anti-aging serums. Now imagine replacing all of them with one jar that actually works better.

FAQs

Is it for face & body?

Yes! You can apply it anywhere on your skin 🙂

Is it comedogenic?

Grass fed beef tallow is a 1 out of 5 in the comedogenic scale meaning it's a moisturizer that will not clog pores, cause breakouts etc. Its excellent for sensitive skin :)

What does it smell like?

It has a unique "green and woody" scent because of our essential oils mixed with honey/beeswax. It's very light and will go away quickly. The tallow is odorless as it’s rendered, and we remove all impurities several times.

Can I use this during pregnancy?

Yes, our Tallow & Honey Balm is made with gentle, natural ingredients like grass-fed tallow, raw honey, organic olive oil, and beeswax—nothing synthetic or harsh. Many moms-to-be love using it for dry skin, belly hydration, and overall nourishment.

Sensitive to essential oils?

We understand some people are sensitive to essential oils. That is why it’s diluted to less than 1%. If you're still unsure we also offer a No Essential Oils Tallow & Honey Balm here.

Is this helpful for acne,psoriasis, and eczema?

Yes! We have customers whose symptoms have been alleviated since using tallow. Tallow is packed with omega-3 fatty acids capable of nourishing and strengthening the skin barrier as well as conjugated linoleic acid, the anti-inflammatory properties of which should improve the symptoms of acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Can I use it if I have oily skin?

Yes. If you have oily skin, we just recommend using less. Tallow is very close to our skin’s natural oils and will still be absorbed by your skin very well.
