Unscented, light cacao scent, made with lard and tallow for superior moisturization.
This super-soft balm combines the healing powers of pasture-raised cattle suet tallow, organic pastured lard, fair trade, organic cacao butter, and extra-virgin olive oil to create an uber-nourishing moisturizer specially formulated for baby's sensitive skin with four different organic fats. This balm is Unscented.
Use on babe's hands, face, feet, bum, or any other part that needs moisturizing. Perfect for after a bath when the balm can melt over their warm skin.
It can also be used on everyone in the family and is especially great for a growing belly.
We are proud to source our raw cacao butter from our trusted partners at Coracao Chocolates. They are renowned for their expertise in crafting natural, gluten-free, fair-trade, raw chocolates.
The heart of our balm, the leaf lard, comes from the historic Rancho Llano Seco in Chico, CA. Here, hogs enjoy the freedom of open-air paddocks and soak up plenty of sunshine, offering a beautiful view of the California Buttes. Raised in a zero-waste community, these hogs, a fine blend of Duroc, Yorkshire, and Landrace breeds, are nurtured on GMO-free vegetarian grains and legumes, mostly locally.
This careful upbringing guarantees a product that is both premium in quality and ethical in its production.
Ingredients: Suet Tallow (fat) from certified regeneratively-raised Northern California cattle, organic pastured leaf lard, organic marigold CO2 extract (Calendula), organic Peruvian raw fair-trade cacao (Theobroma cacao) butter, and Séka Hills extra-virgin olive oil.
The jar contains 50 ml. The Large is 4 oz.
In 2014, inspired by the agony my friends' children experienced from eczema and drawing on my background as a holistic nutrition chef, I had an idea. I realized I could create a premium skincare line using high-quality, local ingredients. My aim was to revive the traditional use of nourishing, pasture-raised animal fats to help people with skin conditions like dry skin and irritations.
My dream took shape, focusing on sustainability and local resources. With indigenous roots, I believe in connecting to what we put on our skin and use in our homes. The farmers’ market and the Slow Body Movement® inspired me to build my brand around these principles. Each ingredient has a story.
I source from the highest quality, ethically responsible communities of ranchers and farmers in California's sustainable and regenerative agricultural community.
Discover the transformative power of locally sourced, sustainable skincare with my premium line.

How to Store Tallow Balm:
Store your tallow balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Why We Don’t Whip Our Balms:
We avoid whipping our balms to prevent introducing air and bacteria, which can inflate volume and compromise quality. Whipping can also cause melting, leaving less product in the jar. Instead, we hand-pour our tallow to preserve its full benefits and maintain authenticity.
Adjusting Balm Texture:
To soften your balm, immerse the closed container in warm water until melted. Remove the lid and let it cool in the refrigerator. This ensures the balm remains soft and easy to spread. Tallow solidifies in cold and softens in warm conditions.
Storing Tallow Soap:
Use a raised soap dish to allow handcrafted soap to dry between uses, prolonging its life.
Shelf Life of Tallow Products:
Our tallow products have a long shelf life, best used within nine months. For maximum effectiveness, use within 8-12 weeks of opening.
Tallow for Facial Use and Children:
Tallow is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Rich in essential vitamins, it helps with conditions like eczema and diaper rash, making it a healthier alternative to synthetic creams.
Product Disclaimer:
Consult a medical professional or allergist before use, especially if you have known allergies or sensitive skin. Conduct patch tests to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. Your safety and satisfaction are our priorities.
Trimming Tallow Candle Wicks:
Our tallow-beeswax candles burn cleanly with Eco wicks. Trimming is optional but recommended for safety. Allow your candle to burn for about 4 hours for an even wax pool. Never leave a lit candle unattended.

Welcome to Summer Solace! Here are our answers to some frequently asked questions.

New to tallow balm? Here's how to store it:
Place your tallow balm in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight.
Why do you not whip your balms?
We refrain from whipping our balm products or incorporating water into them.
Whipping introduces air and bacteria, potentially misleading consumers with inflated volume.
Picture a whipped product left on a shelf during summer—it would likely melt, leaving only half the product in the jar.
Instead, we meticulously hand-pour our tallow to preserve its full benefits. We consider whipping an amateur technique employed to conceal the scent of inadequately rendered tallow.
Our commitment lies in revealing the authentic essence of our fresh suet tallow through careful hand-pouring.
Want to adjust your balm's texture?
Achieve your preferred texture by immersing the closed container in warm water. Once melted, remove the lid and let it cool in the refrigerator. This will ensure your balm remains soft and easy to spread. Remember, tallow behaves like many natural fats – solidifying in cold conditions and becoming soft in warmer temperatures. The balm's consistency can vary with temperature changes, especially during winter.
Wondering about storing your tallow soap?
For handcrafted soaps like ours, a raised soap dish works best. Ensure it dries between uses to prolong its life.
Curious about the shelf life of tallow products?
Our tallow is of exceptional quality and has a long shelf life, but it’s best to use our products while they are fresh. We make small batches every week to maintain the highest quality. Since we use regenerative tallow, which is naturally shelf-stable, our products remain fresh without the need for artificial preservatives. For optimal results, we recommend using them within 8-12 weeks after opening.
Is tallow safe for facial use or for children?
Absolutely! Tallow is beneficial for most skin types, even sensitive ones like facial skin. Its composition closely resembles human skin, making it easily absorbable. Rich in essential vitamins such as A, D, K, E, and B12, organic tallow, especially from pasture-raised cattle, works wonders on skin issues like eczema and diaper rashes. Consider it a healthier substitute for mainstream synthetic creams.
Product Disclaimer:
Before using our products, we strongly advise seeking medical attention or consulting with an allergist, especially if you have known allergies or sensitive skin. It is essential to conduct patch tests on small, inconspicuous areas of the body before applying products to larger areas or the face. This precautionary measure helps to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. We care about your well-being and want to ensure your safety and satisfaction with our products.
Thinking of trimming your tallow candle's wick?
Our tallow-beeswax candles are distinct from regular candles in terms of ingredients and their gentle, prolonged burn. Referred to as 'living candles', wick-trimming is optional based on your preference. For safety, always refer to the warning sticker on the candle's bottom.
We pride ourselves on using Eco wicks, which are not only made from cotton sourced locally from the West Coast but also burn cleanly without any lead.
Before lighting up, ensure your tallow candle burns for about 4 hours, forming a uniform tallow wax pool. Trim the wick as and when necessary and never leave a lit candle unattended.
