We all know how incredible grass-fed, grass-finished tallow is as a moisturizer for the skin ( If you want to dive deeper, check out 'Tallow for Your Skin: A Scientific Perspective'). But the benefits of topical tallow don't stop there. You can unlock even more of its potential with a variety of other topical uses. In this blog, I'll share 8 brilliant ways to use your tallow balm—'The Original Whipped Balm'—making it your indispensable new self-care companion. Let's get into it!


  1. Makeup Remover: Tallow is an exceptional makeup remover, suitable for all skin types—including acne-prone and sensitive skin. Simply apply a small amount to a dry section of your face and gently massage in circular motions. Work in sections, giving enough time for the makeup to dissolve. Once you've massaged the full face, rinse with water. For eye makeup or mascara, you can use a cotton pad to gently wipe it away.

  2. Wound Healer: Accidents happen, and when they do, it's great to have a natural remedy that accelerates skin recovery and helps prevent scarring. For small cuts, burns, and insect bites, apply a small amount of tallow to the affected area and let it sit. You will be surprised with how fast it acts.


  3. Diaper Rash Cream: What could be better for your baby's delicate skin than a simple, three-ingredient product like "The Original Whipped Tallow"? To use as a diaper rash cream, apply a thick layer to the diaper area using your fingers.

  4. Body & Face Massage Oil: Massages are known for promoting graceful aging and were an integral part of ancient beauty rituals. Tallow is a fantastic massage oil (or massage fat). Warm a generous amount between your palms and fingers, or apply it directly to the skin, and massage away.

  5. Lip Balm & Scrub: Your lips can benefit from tallow just as much as the rest of your skin. Simply apply a bit of tallow evenly across your lips using your index finger, starting from the center and moving outward. For an extra touch of care, mix tallow with your favorite exfoliant (like coffee grounds) to create a nourishing lip scrub.

  6. Oil Cleansing Method: The oil cleansing method is a top tip for beautiful skin, and tallow—being non-comedogenic—is perfect for this. Apply a generous amount of tallow balm to your face and massage for 1-2 minutes. For a deeper clean, leave it on for 10 minutes. Then, soak a clean cotton washcloth in hot water and place it over your face for about a minute. Use the washcloth to remove any remaining oil or makeup. Your skin will feel smooth and soft afterward.

  7. Shaving Cream: Commercial shaving creams are often filled with artificial fragrances and chemicals that dry out the skin and promote aging. Tallow balm is a better, natural alternative. Simply wash your face, apply the balm to the area, and shave as usual.

  8. Cuticle Salve: Cuticles are often overlooked, but they play a key role in keeping your nails healthy and polished. Applying tallow will nourish them, preventing cracks or dryness. Gently massage tallow around the nails in circular motions and allow it to absorb.
