Tallow is a premium, traditional product made by slowly melting down and purifying the fat from grass-fed cattle. Think of it as the beef version of ghee or coconut oil. Used for centuries in both cooking and skincare, it is entirely natural and deeply nourishing.
Because tallow mimics your skin's natural lipid barrier, this whipped balm provides whole-body hydration that absorbs effortlessly—all without clogging your pores. It’s the ultimate multi-purpose healer for dry faces, rough knuckles, and tired knees.
At Old Salt, we believe the best way to honor the animals that provide for us is to let nothing go to waste. This balm is part of that. We make it by hand, in small batches, for our Old Salt community. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
