One signature scent - warm vanilla with quiet frankincense.
30-day happiness guarantee · Handcrafted in small batches in the USA
I'm Jack. I grew up with dry, itchy, sensitive-feeling skin and a cabinet full of lotions with labels I couldn't pronounce - and none of them worked. Eventually I stopped waiting on the big brands and did the most American thing I could think of: I broke from the old way and made my own.
That is the spirit behind Tall Owl - if what you're handed isn't working, declare your independence and forge your own path. Freedom Balm is its fullest form: grass-fed tallow, mango and cacao butter, beeswax, and a short list of ingredients you can actually read. No fillers, no synthetic fragrance, nothing your skin has to fight.
We make it by hand, in small batches, here in the USA - in Colorado, our home. Two kinds of freedom in one jar: free from dry, cracked skin, and free from the fillers and synthetic fragrance that never belonged on your skin.

Freedom Balm is our richest, most protective body balm, built for the driest, most weather-exposed skin. Body Balm is the firmer everyday step for rough spots. Reach for Freedom Balm when Body Balm is not quite enough.
It is built for the body. For your face, reach for Whipped Tallow or Nourishing Oil.
Warm vanilla with quiet frankincense underneath - one signature scent, never synthetic.
Used in moderation, no. Let it absorb for a few minutes before dressing or getting into bed.
Because our balms are made with real tallow, oils, butters, and waxes, they can soften in warm weather. If this happens, place the product upright at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm. The texture may change slightly, but the product is still good to use.
Add any second product and the lower-priced one is 50% off - the two don't have to match, so mix and match anything you like. The discount applies automatically at checkout, no code needed. Every product is eligible.
