How to Use

  • Scoop a pea-sized amount: Take a small pea-sized amount of balm with a clean fingertip or a small spatula — a little goes a long way.
  • Warm it in your fingertips: Rub it between your fingertips to let the tallow melt and soften before applying.
  • Smooth it on: Gently warm and smooth the balm across your face and body for a light, even layer of natural mineral protection.
  • Reapply as needed: Reapply throughout the day, especially after swimming, sweating, or being in the water.
  • Store: Keep the jar capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Storage & Usage

Handcrafted in small batches, our products naturally last 6–12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Apply to the skin with clean, dry hands as often as needed.

What to Expect

Because we use pure, organic ingredients and no synthetic stabilisers, every handcrafted batch is naturally its own — colour, texture and scent can shift subtly with the seasons and temperature. That small change is the signature of a truly natural product, and it never affects how well it works.

Sensitive Skin

Real skincare should be gentle enough for everyone. If you have sensitive or reactive skin — or new to tallow — we always recommend a quick patch test on a small area first, then wait 24 hours before your first full use.
