The History of Tallow Balm
Every pop-culture magazine ever is looking for the secret to healthy and glowing skin.
But what if it was discovered thousands of years ago
Tallow has been used in skincare for longer than most modern products have existed.
The Romans and ancient Egyptians regularly used tallow as a miracle moisturizing agent and a cure for burns, scrapes, and various other ailments. Whether it was used as a balm, ointment, or salve, tallow was a readily available resource and a healing must-have.
Even 200 years ago, tallow was a common household item—and a regular ingredient in homemade soaps, lotions, and other skincare products.
What Changed?
Well, sustainable farming became rare, and access to healthy tallow slowly declined. Consumers wanted products that were new, exciting, and more industrial. Unfortunately, our skin suffered as a result. But now we’re going back to the basics.

Your Medicine Cabinet Remedy for Burns, Cuts, and Scrapes
Yep, tallow really is the remedy that does it all. Since it contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, tallow is an excellent ointment to use for little accidents like cuts, scrapes, bruises, and burns.
Wrinkles and Acne
We throw no shade at wrinkles or acne—they are normal conditions that happen as our skin changes and ages.
But we do know some people prefer to minimize the appearance of skin blemishes. We encourage you to not treat acne or wrinkles with chemical-filled facial products. They may reduce the appearance temporarily, but over time they’re wearing on your skin’s natural microbiome.
Instead, tallow includes the vitamins and minerals your skin needs to increase its natural collagen production. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help decrease acne and redness.
