Products & ingredients
What should I start with?
For face, hands, and everyday body moisture, start with Whipped Tallow. Body Balm has a firmer feel for dry body spots; Freedom Balm is the richest choice for rough, weather-exposed areas. The Trio Bundle brings Lip Balm, Whipped Tallow, and Body Balm into one routine.
Is tallow good for sensitive-feeling skin?
Skin can respond differently from person to person. Our tallow products have different formulas and scent options; check the ingredients for the exact product you choose. If your skin is reactive, consider an Unscented option and patch test first.
Why is Eye Serum tallow-free?
Eye Serum is a lighter, tallow-free oil blend with a steel roller for the under-eye area. Its product page shows the ingredients and how to use it.
What do you scent your products with?
Our scented products use essential oils or natural aromatic ingredients. Unscented products have no added fragrance.
Does Unscented Whipped Tallow smell like tallow?
It may. Unscented contains grass-fed beef tallow, organic jojoba oil and organic calendula flowers, with no added fragrance or essential oils, so you may notice the natural scent of the ingredients. If you’d like a light scent, Lavender adds organic lavender essential oil. If it isn’t right for you, you can ask for a refund within 30 days of delivery.
Are these vegan or animal-free?
No. Most Tall Owl products are made with tallow. Eye Serum and Nourishing Oil are our two tallow-free options.
Are your products non-comedogenic?
We don’t claim our formulas are non-comedogenic. Skin responds differently from person to person, so check the exact ingredients, patch test, and start with a small amount.
Is beeswax in every product?
No. Formulas vary by product and scent. Check the selected product’s ingredient section, and ask us for its current complete label if you need to confirm beeswax or another ingredient before ordering.
Can I use Tall Owl with actives like retinol?
Check the directions for both products. If you use a prescribed skin treatment, ask your prescribing clinician how to fit a new moisturizer into your routine.
Use & care
How much should I apply?
Start with a small amount on clean, dry skin, then add more where you need it. Each product page has its own directions, including how its texture feels and where it fits.
Will Whipped Tallow feel heavy or greasy on my skin?
It feels light and airy in the jar, then softens into a rich moisturizer as you warm it between your fingers. Start small and give it time to settle before adding more. A pea-sized amount covers more than you’d expect, and too much can feel heavy.
How should I store tallow products?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excess heat.
Can I use these products morning and night?
Follow the directions for the product you choose. Whipped Tallow is for daily use on face, hands, or body; start with a small amount.
Shipping
When does my order ship?
We typically ship the next business day. We’ll email tracking details once your order ships; delivery time depends on the destination and carrier. Read shipping details.
How does shipping work?
US Economy shipping is $4.99 below $50 in paid merchandise after discounts, and free at $50 or more. Qualifying orders also receive a free Lip Balm while the gift is available. Express shipping is excluded. See the shipping policy.
What if my Whipped Tallow softens during shipping?
Whipped Tallow can soften in warm weather. Keep the jar upright and let it cool until firm before opening. For Vanilla Orange Whipped Tallow, ordinary warm-weather softening may change the whipped texture while it continues to nourish and moisturize. Contact us if you have concerns about the condition of your jar.
