Need to know
Although all of our products are formulated with all natural ingredients and of the highest quality, everyone's skin is unique and you should always patch test on a discreet area before use, as a precaution. If there is irritation or a reaction, discontinue use and consult a doctor if necessary.
Please note: Scent and texture can vary as products are formulated with all natural ingredients. Our balm is formulated without fragrances, essential oils or herbs so it can have a slightly more natural tallow aroma. If you are more sensitive to the natural tallow scent then we recommend trying our herbal-infused creams instead.
Product care
Tallow is a saturated fat that will melt or harden depending on the temperature of its environment. If it's too firm, simply warm it between your hands until it's soft enough to apply. If it's too soft, refrigerate or place in a cool area until it firms up.
Store below 30ºC out of direct sunlight.
Shelf life: 6-12 months at room temperature or over 1 year refrigerated.

Gentle Ingredients
100% Grass Fed Tallow
Rich in skin-compatible fatty acids and nutrients, tallow deeply nourishes the skin and helps support a healthy, resilient skin barrier.
Natural Cocoa Butter
A deeply moisturising natural butter that helps soften dry skin while creating a protective barrier to lock in hydration.
Golden Jojoba Oil
A lightweight oil that closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, helping balance moisture and support smooth, supple skin.
Beeswax Cappings
Creates a breathable protective layer on the skin, helping seal in moisture while protecting against dryness and environmental stress.
Why Tallow Bar is different
Not all tallow skincare is created the same.
We prioritise ingredient quality, simplicity, and skin compatibility — without the fluff.
Why we started Tallow Bar
After years of struggling with eczema and finding no relief from prescription or mainstream skincare, I began making my own tallow balm out of desperation.
That balm restored my severely damaged skin barrier and became the start of Tallow Bar.
— Angela, Founder of Tallow Bar
Frequently asked questions
Still wondering if it’s right for your skin? Check our most asked questions below. You can also use the chat box to speak to us directly!
What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered beef fat, traditionally sourced from responsibly raised cows. It is renowned for its biocompatibility with the skin. Tallow contains essential fatty acids and antioxidants, making it a nourishing and moisturising ingredient. Learn more about tallow and why we use it here.
Will tallow balm clog my pores?
Tallow contains fatty acids that are high compatible those found in healthy human skin, which is why many people find it absorbs well without clogging pores.
As with any skincare product, individual skin types vary, so we always recommend patch testing first.
Is it greasy and what does it smell like?
Our balm is rich and nourishing by design. When used in small amounts it melts into the skin and absorbs well, without a greasy feeling.
Our tallow is gently rendered to preserve nutrients and reduce the likelihood of a lingering beefy scent. Our balm is naturally scented with cocoa butter, giving it a gentle chocolate scent.
What's the difference between the balm and the creams?
Our tallow creams are herb-infused, whereas our balm is not. It really depends on your use case and what scent you prefer. The balm is best used for face + smaller areas needing attention. The creams spread easier and absorb quicker for larger areas on the body.
