SPF Note
This product does not carry an official SPF rating due to FDA regulations. However, 23% zinc oxide aligns with an estimated SPF 20–25 based on formulation research. Grass-fed tallow may offer additional natural protection (estimated SPF 4–6).
Tallow Balm Application
- Scoop a pea- to quarter-sized amount with clean, dry fingers.
- Warm in your palm until soft.
- Gently pat or massage into clean skin—face, body, or any dry areas.
Texture & Seasonal Adaptation
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.
Storage Tips:
- Store your tallow balm in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
- While our balms are shelf-stable and don’t require refrigeration, keeping them out of extreme heat will maintain their texture and freshness.
Shelf Life & Freshness:
- Our products are made in small batches weekly to ensure the highest quality.
- For the best experience, use your tallow products within nine months of purchase and ideally within 8–12 weeks of opening.
- Though our tallow has an indefinite shelf life, using it while fresh allows you to fully enjoy its seasonal benefits.
