What is a whipped tallow moisturizer?

It is rendered beef fat, blended with a few oils and aerated as it cools so it sets soft instead of hard. The main fatty acids in tallow, oleic, palmitic and stearic, are the same ones skin makes in its own sebum, which is why a barrier that reacts to lotions tends to accept it.

Whipping changes the texture and the dose, not the chemistry. A little covers the face, and one jar does the work of a face cream, body butter, hand cream and lip balm.

What is in the jar, and what is not

Essential oils. Synthetic fragrance. Synthetic preservatives. Water. Honey. Fillers.

Twelve ingredients, listed in the order they go in.

How do you choose one?

  • Fat sourceSuet, the hard fat from around the kidneys, renders clean and near-odorless. Trim fat smells stronger and oxidizes faster, and the smell gets covered with scent.Suet, rendered here.
  • ScentEssential oils are the most common reason a tallow balm sets reactive skin off.Whole botanicals infused into the fat, nothing added for fragrance.
  • PreservationA balm that contains water or honey needs a preservative system.Neither, so no preservative system.
  • The labelShort, in weight order, with the oils high enough to do something.Twelve ingredients, oils in the top eight.
  • Where it is stockedA brand that names its clinics can be checked.Named on the About page.

Who it is for

Questions people ask before the first jar

  • Is it good for the face?

    Yes. That is how most people use it. Warm a little between your fingertips and press it into damp skin, morning and night. The same jar covers the rest of you.

  • Does it smell like beef?

    No. Suet rendered properly is close to odorless, and the whip smells faintly of the rose and vanilla steeped into it. A beefy smell in a tallow product usually means trim fat or a bad render.

  • How much do I use?

    A pea-sized amount for the whole face. Most complaints about tallow feeling greasy come from using three or four times too much.

  • What if it does not suit my skin?

    Thirty days, love it or your money back. Give it two weeks first, since that is what a barrier takes to settle.
