Grass-Fed Beef Tallow Balm | Vanilla | Warm Repair | Rinse

The one you can wear to work without anyone asking what it is. Grass-fed tallow whipped with olive squalane and real vanilla — warm, close to the skin, gone before it becomes a fragrance. A pea-sized scoop after your evening shower covers hands, elbows and heels. Handmade in Monroe, Georgia.

Tallow works because it is close to the lipids skin already produces, so it absorbs rather than sitting on top the way a heavy cream does. Squalane, pressed from olives, keeps it from feeling greasy. The vanilla is the quietest scent in the line — it settles into the skin instead of announcing itself, which is why it layers under a perfume without fighting it.

Apply while skin is still damp from the shower, when it can seal water in rather than work against a dry surface. Warm a small scoop between your fingers until it goes silky, then press it into hands, cuticles, elbows, knees and heels. Vanilla suits the evening — smooth a little on before bed and the warmth is still there in the morning.

Pair it with a gentle bar like Almond & Honey Soap in the shower and a Chai Tea Latte Pucker Stick for lips; the warm-spice note sits naturally alongside the vanilla. Every tin is made by hand in small batches in Monroe, Georgia, on a short, honest ingredient list, cruelty-free — as Heather has made things since 2003.
