Lavender Grass-Fed Tallow Balm

Grass-fed tallow is rendered fat from pasture-raised cattle, and people have smoothed it onto skin for generations for one simple reason: it is remarkably close to the oils our own skin makes. That similarity is why tallow feels so at home on the body. It is naturally rich in the fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients skin recognizes, so it sinks in to deliver deep, lasting moisture instead of sitting on top. For very dry, rough, or weather-stressed skin that never seems to stay soft, a tallow balm can be the richest, most nourishing step in a routine.

What makes this balm a pleasure to use is how it behaves. Even though it is deeply moisturizing, it melts into skin and absorbs without a greasy film, thanks to olive-derived squalane that keeps the texture light while helping lock moisture in. A little goes a long way — a pea-sized scoop softens hands, elbows, knees, heels, and stubborn dry patches. The soft, gently floral note of pure lavender essential oil makes it feel calming and quietly luxurious.

How to work it into your day: lavender makes this a natural fit for the evening. After a warm shower or bath, while skin is still slightly damp, warm a small amount between your fingers until silky and massage it into anywhere that feels tight or rough. Smooth a little over hands and cuticles as part of a wind-down ritual, then breathe in the soft lavender as you settle in for the night. Rough elbows, knees, and heels love a slightly heavier layer before bed.

Build a calming ritual around it. Start in the shower with a gentle, plant-oil-rich bar like our Almond & Honey Soap to cleanse without stripping. For larger areas, layer on our Lavender Body Lotion so the soft floral note carries head to toe, then spot-treat the driest patches with this concentrated tallow balm. Keep lips soft, too, with a Coconut Pucker Stick — an easy final step before lights out.

Every tin is handmade in small batches in Monroe, Georgia, with naturally derived ingredients and a short, honest list. Like everything from Rinse Bath & Body Co., it is cruelty-free and crafted with care — the same way Heather has been making things by hand since 2003.

Our Tallow Balm is crafted with the highest quality natural ingredients: Adeps Bovis (100% Grass-fed, Organic Beef Tallow), Squalane (derived from the Olivel, ) & Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil

The Tallow is similar to your skin’s natural oils and is packed with essential vitamins, fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid, and antibacterial properties. The Squalane works the same way- it mimics your skin's natural lipids, helping to lock in moisture without clogging pores. Finally, the Lavender Essential Oil is said to help calm redness, promote collagen production, heal wounds. All 3 make this magical moisturizer a skincare must-have.

After cleansing & any serums, massage a small amount into your skin for a long-lasting protective barrier. It can be used in the morning & at night or just at night, whatever your skin needs. This balm can also be applied to other areas prone to rough patches or dryness. It’s great for deep hydration on areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Tallow Balm also makes an excellent lip balm, cuticle balm
