How to Use Whipped Tallow: A Simple First Week

How much to use, how to warm it, where it goes, and how to make Whipped Tallow part of your day.

A small amount of Whipped Tallow warming between fingertips

Whipped Tallow is our daily moisturizer for face, hands and body. It’s simple to use, and a little goes a long way. Here is how much to use, how to put it on, and how to make it part of your day.

The short version

  • Start with a pea-sized amount.
  • Warm it between your fingers, then massage it in and let it absorb.
  • Use it daily on your face, hands and body.
  • Add more only where you need it.

Start with less than you think

A pea-sized amount covers more than you’d expect, and too much can feel heavy. Whipped Tallow is made without added water, and the directions on our jar begin with the same advice: use sparingly; a little goes a long way.

Give the first amount time to settle before you add more. You can always add a little more where your skin feels dry.

Warm it, then massage it in

Whipped Tallow feels light and airy in the jar, then softens into a rich moisturizer as you warm it between your fingers.

  1. Scoop a pea-sized amount with a clean finger.
  2. Warm it between your fingertips for a few seconds until it softens.
  3. Massage it into skin and let it absorb for a smooth, hydrating finish.
  4. Add more only where needed.

Where to use it

Whipped Tallow is a daily moisturizer for your face, hands and body.

  • Face: a pea-sized amount, warmed and pressed in.
  • Hands: a little more, massaged into the backs of your hands and around your knuckles.
  • Body: warm a little at a time and add it where skin feels dry, like elbows, knees and shins.

For spots that need more, our balms give a richer feel: Body Balm for everyday dry spots like knees and elbows, and Freedom Balm, our richest body balm, for rough hands, heels and elbows.

Make it a daily habit

Our jar’s directions end simply: for best results, apply daily. Pick a moment you’ll remember, like after washing your face in the morning or before bed, and keep the jar where you’ll see it.

Use sparingly; a little goes a long way.

From the directions on our jar

If your skin is reactive

Skin can respond differently from person to person. If your skin is reactive, consider an Unscented option and patch test first. Unscented has no added scent.

Which size to start with

The 1.5 oz jar is a smaller way to try Whipped Tallow. The 3.0 oz jar gives you twice as much moisturizer for regular use on face, hands and body. Both sizes use the same formula within each scent. How long a jar lasts depends on how much you use and where you apply it.

Caring for your jar

Whipped Tallow can soften in warm weather. Keep the jar upright and let it cool until firm before opening. Close the lid after each use, and contact us if you have concerns about the condition of your jar.
