Tallow Candles

Burn for at least 4 hours the first time to create an even melt.

Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each use.

Burn on a safe surface and never leave unattended.

Our products are pure, intentional, and steeped in tradition. A little goes a long way. Use slowly and with care.

Our small-batch, fresh suet, dry-rendered, and unwhipped tallow naturally responds to environmental conditions. These gentle shifts in texture are to be expected and are a sign of the purity and simplicity of our ingredients.

• In warmer temperatures, the balm may soften. If exposed to extreme heat, refrigerate it to restore a firmer consistency. If it fully melts, leave the lid off and allow it to re-solidify in the refrigerator.
  
• In cooler temperatures, the balm may become firmer. To soften, place the jar in a warm water bath or bring it into the shower for a few minutes.

We embrace this seasonal adaptability as part of the natural rhythm and beauty of truly handmade, whole-food skincare.
