Tallow Skincare Questions

A few simple answers to help you choose and enjoy your Gratia skincare.

What is tallow skincare?

Tallow is a rich, traditional moisturizer made from carefully rendered beef fat. Its creamy texture helps soften dry skin and gives our whipped beef tallow balm its deeply nourishing feel.

What makes Gratia tallow feel different?

We were never satisfied with tallow balms that felt heavy or left too much oil on the skin. Our own oil blend and careful process create a smoother, more balanced texture that feels deeply nourishing without feeling overly greasy.

Are all Gratia products unscented?

No. Our Unscented Whipped Tallow Balm contains no added fragrance or essential oils, and our Unscented Tallow Lip Balm contains no Natural Flavors. Every scented or flavored option lists its complete ingredients on the product page.

What is in the whipped tallow balms?

The base formula contains 100% grass-fed and finished beef tallow, organic jojoba oil, organic argan oil, organic pure vitamin E, and organic arrowroot powder. Scent ingredients vary, so please read the full ingredient list on the product page you are considering.

What is in the tallow lip balm?

Unscented: 100% grass-fed and finished beef tallow, 100% pure beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and organic pure vitamin E oil. Flavored varieties add natural flavors to that same base.

Which option should I choose if I avoid added scent?

Choose our Unscented Whipped Tallow Balm for face and body moisture with no added fragrance or essential oils. Choose our Unscented Tallow Lip Balm for lip care without natural flavors.

How do I use whipped tallow balm?

Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press it gently into clean skin. Add more only where you need it. You can use the balm on the face, hands, body, elbows, feet, and dry patches. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.

How do I use tallow lip balm?

Glide it directly over the lips whenever they need a little care.

How should I store tallow products?

Keep your balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and prolonged heat. Natural oil-based formulas can soften when warm.

What are the lip balm set options?

Single tubes are $4.99. You can choose any 3 tubes for $11.99 or any 5 tubes for $18.99. Mix the flavors or choose more than one of a favorite.

Should I patch test a new product?

If your skin is reactive or the formula is new to you, apply a small amount to one area first and wait before using it more broadly. Stop using the product if irritation occurs.
