• DO IT LIKE GRANDMA DID: Tallow--or rendered beef fat--is ancestral skincare. Our ancestors relied almost solely on animal fats to moisturize, protect, and heal their skin. Enjoy our light, meltable, whipped tallow balm as a contemporary nod to the practice of our forefathers.
• MILD, CLEAN AROMA: Some tallow balms out there stink like the dickens. We are proud to offer a tallow that smells only lightly buttery upon opening--not beefy or off-putting. Enjoy clean, natural skincare without smelling like a steak (if that's not what you were looking for...).
• ABOUT OUR PROCESS: At Hearth and Homestead, we are a small, family-owned business that holds to high standards for every single ingredient we put in our products. We use only high quality essential oils, butters, fats, herbs, and spices. We never use artificial ingredients like micas, dyes, or artificial fragrances.
• VITAMIN POWERHOUSE: Tallow is rich in vitamins A,D,E,K and B1 as well as stearic and oleic fatty acids and saturated fat. This yields a balm that is nourishing to your skin, but also highly shelf stable! (Variations in texture are common, due to these unadulterated ingredients).
• YOUR GO-TO BALM: Lavender tallow balm is our go-to balm for everything! Cuts, scrapes, bug bites, burns, dry hands, diaper cream...It's the works. Throw one in your bag and keep it in there for everyday use.
