FAQ

Straight answers

Everything you need to know about our tallow, your order and our 60-day guarantee.

01

Products and ingredients

What makes TryTallow different?

We start with grass-fed tallow from American family farms, render it slowly three times, test every batch for purity, and pour it by hand in Neptune, New Jersey. No seed oils, no synthetic fragrance, no fillers.

What's in the Tallow Balm?

Five ingredients: grass-fed beef tallow, olive oil, raw honey, beeswax and essential oils (frankincense and rose). That's the whole list.

Does it smell like beef?

No. Rendering the tallow three times keeps it clean and mild. Our scented balms get a light, natural scent from essential oils.

Will it feel greasy?

Not if you use the right amount. Start with a pea-sized scoop, warm it between your fingers and press it in. It absorbs instead of sitting on top of your skin.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Many customers with sensitive skin use it every day. Patch test first, especially if you're allergic to honey or bee products. If you have a skin condition, check with your doctor before adding anything new.

Why does the texture change from jar to jar?

Every batch is made by hand, so small differences in texture and scent are normal. Tallow also firms up in the cold and softens in the heat. A few seconds between your fingers fixes either.

Why is my balm a little grainy?

Totally normal, and it doesn't change how the balm works. Tallow is a natural fat, so when a jar warms up and cools down again, like on a hot delivery truck or a cold porch, tiny fat crystals can form. They melt the second they touch your skin. Just warm a scoop between your fingers and press it in. Want the whole jar smooth again? Take the lid off and set the jar in a bowl of hot (not boiling) water until the balm fully melts, then give it a quick stir and put it in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes. Cooling it fast is what keeps it smooth. Skip the microwave. After that, store it at room temperature, out of direct sun. If something still seems off, email hi@trytallow.com and we'll take a look.

How long does a jar last?

With daily use, a 4oz jar lasts about two months. A little goes a long way.

02

How to use it

How do I use it?

Start with damp skin, right after a shower or cleansing. Scoop a pea-sized amount, warm it between your fingers until it melts, then massage it in. Give it a few minutes to absorb.

Can I use it on my face and body?

Yes. Use it on your face, hands, elbows, knees, feet, or anywhere that feels dry, tight or rough.

Morning or night?

Both work. In the morning, use it after serums and before sunscreen. At night, make it your last step.

Can I use it with my other skincare?

Yes. It plays well with most routines. If you're using a prescription product, ask your doctor first.

03
