Most of you are familiar with our all-natural tallow soap, but you may not know the benefits of our all-natural tallow balm. We hope this blog can help outline the benefits of tallow balm, how tallow balm is made, and what it is made with.
So, what is tallow balm made with?
Our tallow balm starts with all-natural beef tallow that comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. If you’re new here, you may be wondering what tallow is to begin with. Tallow is simply rendered fat from certain animals like cows or sheep. In our case, we use beef sourced tallow that comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. By using this high-grade tallow, we ensure our products contain ample nutrients and no unnecessary chemicals. Choosing cows with a premier, all-natural diet provides nutrient-rich cream that can be adapted into soaps, balms, lotions, and so on.
How are tallow balms made?
To make tallow balms, we combine our all-natural tallow with high oleic unrefined sunflower oil to make a smooth balm that can be used to moisturize your entire body. Some tallow balms include essential oils as well for additional health benefits and smell. Once the tallow, sunflower oil, and essential oils are combined to the right consistency, they work together to act similar to a lotion - just better. What is the difference between a tallow balm and a traditional lotion? Well, tallow balms are thicker and more solidified than a traditional lotion and offer a more nutrient-rich, long-lasting moisture.
What are the benefits of tallow balms?
Tallow balms are packed with nutrients, and they have similar fat saturation levels as we do - making it easy for our body to absorb. Tallow balms contain vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, which can all be beneficial to your skin health and appearance. Given tallow’s organic compatibility with our skin, it works as a natural sebum, locking in moisture and nutrients without clogging your pores. These properties are what make tallow balms so great for skin conditions, including cracked, calloused, and dry skin, rashes, burning, itching, wrinkles, sun damage, and more. Tallow balms give the skin the nutrients it needs to repair itself and the natural oils that keep in the moisture and nutrients.
Why try a tallow balm?
A little goes a long way. Let our tallow balm replace what feels like a never-ending moisturizing routine. It is a great replacement for basic lotions and creams that never last and need constant reapplication. It will make your skin look and feel better with less effort. Tallow balms are a natural alternative that will give your skin the vitamins and minerals it needs to heal itself and stay smooth and sleek. We recommend going in with our all-natural tallow soaps first and following up with a tallow balm, but it isn’t required. Just one of these products can make all the difference and if you choose to do both it is even better. Check out our balms today!
