As the seasons change and we start reaching for scarves and warm drinks, our skin starts crying out for a little more love. Enter: tallow! While the word may bring up images of old-fashioned candle-making, tallow has a surprisingly magical side when it comes to skincare. This Halloween, let’s talk about why tallow should be your go-to potion for soft, radiant skin and how our Whipped Tallow Balm takes it to the next level with locally sourced ingredients like raw Kansas honey.
What is Tallow, Anyway?
Tallow is a natural fat, and here’s the beauty of it—it’s structurally similar to the oils our skin naturally produces! Think of it as a moisturizer that “speaks the same language” as your skin, helping to nourish and hydrate on a deeper level. When you apply tallow, it blends seamlessly with your skin’s natural lipid barrier, giving it exactly what it needs to stay balanced and resilient.
The Science of Tallow: Why It Works Wonders
Here’s a fun fact: tallow is loaded with skin-loving nutrients! It contains vitamins A, D, E, and K, each playing a unique role in keeping your skin in top shape.
Vitamin A supports cell turnover, which helps your skin look fresh and healthy.
Vitamin D helps soothe the skin and keep it feeling calm and smooth.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, working to protect your skin from environmental stressors (think pollution and UV exposure).
Vitamin K supports elasticity, making your skin appear firm and radiant.
And because tallow is so similar to our skin’s own oils, it absorbs quickly and deeply without clogging pores or leaving a greasy feel—just soft, nourished skin.
But Wait, There's More: Raw Kansas Honey and Mango Butter
While tallow alone is amazing, our Whipped Tallow Balm goes even further with a luxurious blend of mango butter and raw Kansas honey. Mango butter is a hydrating hero that brings a silky texture, while raw Kansas honey, rich in natural humectants, draws moisture into the skin. This combination helps to keep your skin hydrated and glowing, even on the chilliest days. Plus, honey has been used for centuries in skincare because of its antimicrobial and soothing properties—it’s nature’s sweet little gift to your skin.

Now available in two delightful scents, our balm is the perfect daily companion for keeping skin soft and protected all year round. It’s gentle enough to use on sensitive skin, but rich enough to tackle rough patches, dry hands, elbows, and knees—wherever your skin needs a little TLC.

Why Give Tallow a Try?
If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and natural way to support your skin, tallow is truly a “treat” worth trying. It’s clean, non-toxic, and works in harmony with your body to bring out the best in your skin.
