It's no secret that fat has become a dirty word over the past few decades. We've been cautioned to remove it from our diet in order to live a healthy lifestyle. Many traditional foods that humans have come to trust over centuries have been demonized and forgotten.
As a result, most people have never heard of beef tallow for cooking, even less have used it for skincare. We're here to reverse that trend and create a traditional product that provides elite skin hydration.
With an increased awareness of the toxic chemicals in many everyday hygiene products, tallow balm has become more popular as a way to provide natural hydration to your skin. A number of questions have circled around tallow balm and it's effectiveness.
What is tallow balm?
Tallow balm is a natural skincare product made from rendered animal fat. Our high-quality tallow balm is sourced from grass-fed cows. The animal fat is carefully processed and blended with other nourishing ingredients to create a rich and moisturizing balm that can be applied to the skin. Nothing unnecessary is included! Tallow balm is known for its deep hydrating properties and has been used for centuries as a traditional skincare remedy.
What are the benefits of tallow balm?
Grass fed beef tallow is full of vitamins A, E, D, and K, and has a good fatty acid profile that support cell regeneration in your skin. Because our tallow balm is 100% natural, it can be used on sensitive areas of the body like the face, and it can also be used on young children (unscented is recommended). Our tallow balm contains raw honey for antioxidant and additional nutrient benefits, and it contains beeswax to lock in moisture. Extra virgin olive oil gives the balm a smooth application protecting the skin from free radicals, and preventing aging and moisture loss. Our tallow balm is thoughtfully created to feed your skin everything it needs to be radiant and healthy.
What ingredients are in your tallow balm?
Our tallow balm contains a carefully selected list of ingredients, which includes grass-fed beef tallow as the primary ingredient, raw honey, beeswax, extra virgin olive oil, and essential oils for fragrance and additional skin benefits. We prioritize natural and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best possible skincare experience for you!
Do you use Pure Essential Oils?
We all know that pure essential oils are better for you versus artificial fragrances. That's why we choose only pure essential oils for all our products.
Why raw honey?
Raw honey has so many benefits for your health and your skin. It’s nature’s multitasker:
- Fights acne and blemishes
- Slows down signs of aging
- Locks in moisture for a radiant glow
- Plus, you’re not just pampering your skin – you’re supporting local Nebraska beekeepers too 🐝
We love bees, and raw honey in our tallow makes it a superior skincare product.
Whats your process for making it?
At Good Life Tallow, we take pride in thoughtfully handcrafting our products in small batches. We use only 100% grass-fed beef tallow, ensuring it’s pure and free from any unwanted odors. We carefully monitor temperature during production to preserve the integrity of raw honey, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and essential oils, guaranteeing a product that’s as natural and effective as possible.
What makes tallow balm better than other skincare products?
Tallow balm offers several advantages that set it apart from other skincare products. It is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. Because tallow closely resembles the fats found in our skin, tallow balm is often well-tolerated and easily absorbed, making it suitable for all skin types.
Our tallow balm is also free from synthetic additives and harmful chemicals commonly found in commercial skincare products. Tallow balm is so safe for your skin that it is even edible!
Can I use tallow balm on my face?
Many are concerned about the essential oils in our tallow balm. We include essential oils at a 1-2% dilution, which is considered safe for facial application. Essential oils provide additional hydration and anti-aging benefits, as well as helping the product smell great. Our tallow balm is suitable for all parts of the body, including the face, hands, lips, feet, elbows, knees, and pretty much everywhere else. However, some people with sensitive skin may experience irritation from our product, and you should be over-cautious with young children.
Many people find it particularly beneficial for facial skincare due to its high-quality, hydrating and nourishing properties. It can help moisturize dry skin, soothe irritation, and promote a healthy complexion.

Is beef tallow good for oily skin?
Tallow balm is designed to provide deep hydration without leaving a greasy or oily residue, and it is good for acne prone skin. Tallow is noncomedogenic, meaning it is often well-absorbed by the skin, and many users find that it leaves their skin feeling soft and supple rather than greasy. However, the amount you apply and your skin type can influence the final result.
We recommend starting small -- it only takes a small dab to hydrate your entire face. It's powerful, we know!
How long does tallow balm last?
The shelf life of our tallow balm typically lasts up to 12 months at room temperature. To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your tallow balm, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping the product tightly sealed when not in use can also help preserve its quality.
Why is the product only 2 ounces?
A 2-ounce container is compact and easily portable, making it convenient for users to carry with them throughout the day or while traveling. This size is also TSA-compliant for air travel.
Smaller containers also help maintain the freshness and integrity of the product. Since tallow balm is a natural product without the use of chemical preservatives, smaller quantities ensure that users finish the product within a reasonable timeframe, reducing the risk of spoilage.
How long will this product last me?
Don’t fret – 2 oz. might seem like a small jar, but our tallow balm is thick and will likely last you 2-3 months of daily facial use.
