Keeping Your Tallow Balm at Its Best
Tallow is a natural fat, so its texture shifts gently with the seasons. On cooler days, the balm becomes firmer, holding its shape until it warms in your hands, where it softens into a smooth, creamy melt ready for use. In warmer weather, it becomes naturally softer and easier to scoop, reflecting its pure and unprocessed nature.
For the best consistency, store your balm in a cool room, such as your bathroom, and keep it away from direct sunlight.
Once opened, enjoy your tallow balm within six to nine months to experience its full freshness and quality.

Frequently asked questions
Tallow cannot get rid of wrinkles, it can however reduce the appearance of fine lines, often caused through dehydration, environmental stress or depletion. Tallow can leave the skin feeling cushioned and moisturised through its natural fats, creating a supple finish that often makes the skin look smoother. Many people choose tallow simply because it feels comforting and luxurious on the skin.
Tallow absorbs beautifully into skin, due to the fact that it is similar to or own natural skin oils, allowing for deep absorption. Although tallow is greasy at first, it absorbs into the skin within about 20 minutes, leaving a lovely dewy feeling without the heavy grease. People with naturally oily skin may only need a small amount of tallow, whilst people with dry or depleted skin may do well with a larger amount.
For most people Tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog your pores. Heres why - Tallow is highly compatible with human skin. The fatty acid profile of grass-fed tallow is very similar to the natural lipids (fats) found in our skin barrier, which means it tends to absorb easily rather than sitting heavily on the surface.
Tallow can be a supportive option for people effected by eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, particularly when these conditions are linked to a weakened skin barrier.
Grass-fed organic tallow is rich in skin compatible fatty acids such as oleic acid, pulmitic acid and stearic acid. These lipids closely resemble the natural oils produced by the skin, allowing tallow to absorb deeply, helping to restore the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
Using natural formulas, such as those found in Sēlkyn tallow, allow the skin to to receive the nourishment and support that it needs, rather than being bombarded with synthetic fragrances, harsh chemicals and preservatives and common irritants found in many popular non organic skincare products.
Yes you can. Many people prone to acne find tallow very restorative for their skin. Although acne is mostly caused through an internal imbalance, such as hormonal or gut imbalances, tallow can help reduce inflammation and repair a damaged skin barrier. Tallow closely resembles the natural oils produced by human skin, known as sebum. Because of this similarity it tends to absorb easily and support the skin barrier, as well as nourish it. Many conventional moisturisers contain synthetic fillers, emulsifiers and seed oils that can disrupt the skin barrier and contribute to congestion. In contrast lipid rich formulas such as Sēlkyn Tallow provide nourishment without unnecessary additives.
We use 100% organic ingredients and we make our formulations through a slow infusion process. This process allows us to extract the bio-available therapeutic compounds from the herbs that we work with, creating rich and targeted formulations that benefit the skin more thoroughly. We are one of the only tallow brands in Australia that use this method and whilst it means that our formulations are made slowly and at a higher cost, we hold integrity and potency at the heart of our ethos.
We use only organic grass fed tallow and organically grown herbs in our formulations, which guarantees that our products are 100% non toxic and free from any residual farming pesticides and chemicals. We believe that grass fed only is not enough as the chemicals found in non organic farming practices reside in the fat tissue of the animal.
Tallow balm feels good to use because its natural fats melt into a texture that many people love. It sits gently on the skin and leaves a smooth finish. People with naturally oily, blemish-prone or very reactive skin may find it very rich and may need a smaller amount than people who have dry or ageing skin. As with any skincare product, it’s wise to patch-test first and consider your individual skin type and sensitivities before applying it to your face.
You can use your beef tallow face moisturiser daily if the texture suits your skin type and feels comfortable in your routine. Tallow is a rich and deeply nourishing ingredient, so many people enjoy it for its soft, balm-like finish and the way it creates a smooth surface on the skin. However, because it is heavier than many modern facial products, it may feel too rich for those with oily skin. If you’re trying tallow for the first time, it’s best to start slowly, see how your skin responds before using it every day.
Warm a small amount between your fingertips until it melts into a silky texture. Press it gently into clean skin and allow it to glide across areas that need extra softness. The balm opens up as it warms, releasing subtle botanical notes that make the application feel so good.
