What is tallow balm?

Tallow balm is a natural and nontoxic skin care product made from rendered animal fat. It's rich in nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, and essential fatty acids, making it an effective moisturizer and skin healer. Tallow balm is great for helping dry skin, wounds, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. Restore Tallow Balm is a great addition to any skin care routine with natural and nourishing ingredients.

You can use tallow on all skin types. A little tallow balm goes a long way. If you notice your skin feeling greasy, that may indicate you are using too much. Here are a few common skin conditions tallow is perfect for:

• Eczema
• Sunburn
• Dermatitis
• Diaper Rash
• Cracked Lips
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea 
• Cuts/Scrapes
• Wrinkles

Suet tallow is fat surrounding the cow's kidney and is the most pure and nourishing tallow with the least-offensive smell, making it perfect for skincare.

Grass-fed suet tallow is high in fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, and K (in a balanced combination with their activators) which have a profound impact on skin's overall health. Grass-fed tallow also contains Vitamin E (four times as much as grain-fed cows!), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is anti-inflammatory, as well as palmitoleic acid, which has natural antimicrobial properties in addition to omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Tallow can nourish us from the inside out.

• Vitamin A – Encourages the production of collagen, elastin and healthy skin cells & strengthens tissue to keep skin firm, smooth and youthful while helping to heal skin issues from acne to aging.
• Vitamin D – Contributes to skin cell development, repair, metabolism and immune function & protects and rejuvenates skin by protecting against free radicals that cause premature aging.
• Vitamin K – Plays an important role in skin tone, texture and overall health + soothes skin inflammation and irritations while helping to speed up the healing process.
• Vitamin E – Powerful antioxidant that repairs and reverses free radical damage & deeply hydrates and promotes healing in skin’s appearance.

 In addition to the fat-soluble vitamins mentioned above, tallow also has important nutrients that specifically nourish our skin.

• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – natural anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties 
• Palmitoleic acid (omega 7) – one of the skin’s basic building blocks
• Palmitic acid – improves the protective barrier function of skin
• Stearic acid – repairs damaged skin, and improves skin’s flexibility and suppleness

 Generally speaking, grass-fed foods have more nutritional value than grain-fed; fat is no exception. Grass-fed meat and fat have lower amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and individual omega-6, along with higher amounts of omega-3. These fatty acids are incredibly nourishing for human skin and create the backbone of skin cells. Some notice improvements to autoimmune conditions like rosacea and eczema after consistently using tallow on their skin.

Organic Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is derived from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, a perennial native to the North American deserts. The oil accounts for 50% of the jojoba seed and is extracted by cold-pressing, a process that helps maintain the rich nutritional value of the oil.

Jojoba oil has a similar molecular structure and composition to sebum, which the skin naturally produces for moisturization, but what sets it apart from the others is that it’s technically not an oil, but a wax ester. 

Jojoba oil is loaded with antioxidants, such as vitamins A and E, and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential components of the skin’s barrier. It also acts as a humectant, meaning it works to retain moisture in the skin. This protective layer, combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of the vitamin E, gives skin the breather necessary to focus on the healing process.

It also contains antimicrobial properties that can ward off certain types of bacteria, making it an excellent choice for acne prone skin. Jojoba oil is naturally rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that helps the skin defend itself against free radicals that can cause premature aging and skin damage. It’s also rich in amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen.This results in the reduction of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Our signature scent includes these essential oils: 

Organic Lavender helps reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles and helps soothe alterations in skin integrity, such as during sun exposure or a minor cooking burn. It  promotes calm, relaxation, and is a nervous tension reliever.

Organic Frankincense Carterii has the ability to rejuvenate the look of mature skin.

Vanilla Botanical Extract can relieve agitation and promote a relaxed environment.
