Grass-fed tallow, lanolin, beeswax and butters give Body Balm its firmer feel. The complete list reflects your chosen scent.

  • The base Grass-fed beef tallow Grass-fed tallow is the rich, moisturizing base of this balm.

    It leads the label. Here it’s paired with beeswax and butters for a firmer balm made for hands, elbows, knees and heels.

    Read our simple guide to tallow skincare
  • The infusion Jojoba and calendula We infuse calendula flowers into jojoba oil before it goes into the balm.

    Jojoba oil comes from the seeds of the jojoba plant, and calendula is also called pot marigold. The infused oil helps the firm balm spread smoothly once you’ve warmed it between your hands.

  • The cushion Lanolin oil Lanolin comes from sheep’s wool, and lanolin oil is its liquid part.

    It gives the balm a soft, substantial feel and helps rough, dry spots feel cushioned.

  • The structure Yellow beeswax Yellow beeswax is beeswax that hasn’t been bleached.

    It gives the balm its firm shape in the tin and helps it stay where you smooth it on.

  • The melt Cacao and shea butters Cacao butter comes from cacao beans, and shea butter from shea nuts.

    Both soften as the balm warms on your skin, giving it a rich, creamy, cushioned feel.

  • The finish Vitamin E and arrowroot Vitamin E oil rounds out the blend as a conditioning oil.

    Arrowroot powder, a fine starch from the root of the arrowroot plant, helps the balm feel smooth as you apply it.

  • The scent No added scent This option’s label stops at the nine base ingredients.
    The scent Lavender essential oil Lavender essential oil is distilled from lavender flowers.

    It’s the only scent ingredient in this option and gives a soft, floral scent.

    The scent Vanilla and sweet orange Vanilla and sweet orange make a warm, sweet citrus scent.

    Vanilla oleoresin is a thick, concentrated extract of vanilla beans, and it carries the warm vanilla note. Sweet orange essential oil comes from orange peel and adds the bright citrus.

    The scent Cedarwood and vanilla Cedarwood and vanilla make a cozy, woodsy-sweet scent.

    Atlas cedarwood essential oil is distilled from the wood of the Atlas cedar and brings a warm, woody note. Vanilla oleoresin, a thick extract of vanilla beans, adds sweetness.

    The scent Lemon, grapefruit and orange Three citrus oils make a bright, fresh citrus scent.

    Lemon, pink grapefruit and sweet orange essential oils each come from citrus peel.

    The scent Eucalyptus and peppermint Eucalyptus and peppermint make a cool, herbal scent.

    Eucalyptus globulus essential oil comes from the leaves of the blue gum eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oil from peppermint leaves.

From our family in Colorado

For the spots that need more.

Tall Owl began with Jack’s first hand-mixed batch in Colorado: grass-fed tallow and jojoba infused with calendula flowers.

Body Balm takes the idea into a firmer texture for dry-feeling elbows, knees, hands and heels.

Before You Buy

Quick answers about Body Balm

Texture, scent, fit, shipping, Buy one, get one 50% off - in plain language.

Body Balm vs Whipped Tallow - which should I pick?

Body Balm is a firmer, richer balm for dry-feeling hands, elbows, knees and heels. Whipped Tallow is our lighter daily moisturizer for face, hands and body. Choose the texture that fits where you want to use it.

Body Balm or Freedom Balm - which should I pick?

Body Balm is our everyday balm for dry-feeling hands, elbows, knees and heels, in six scents. Freedom Balm is our richest body balm, with a dense texture and one warm vanilla-frankincense scent. Choose the texture and scent that fit your routine.

Can I use it on my face?

You can, but it is built for the body. The texture is firmer than what most face routines want day-to-day. For face, reach for Whipped Tallow instead.

Will it stain clothes or sheets?

Used in moderation, no. Body Balm absorbs over a few minutes. If you apply it generously before bed, let it sink in before getting under the sheets.

When should I apply it?

Warm a small amount between your fingers and massage it into dry body areas. Give the balm time to settle before dressing, and avoid applying more than you need.

What gives Body Balm its richer feel?

Grass-fed tallow, lanolin, beeswax and butters give this balm its firmer, cushiony texture. Use a small amount on dry-feeling body areas.

Does it have a strong scent?

Scent strength is personal. The scented options each have their own botanical notes; see the scent descriptions above. Unscented has no added scent. Check your selected option’s label for its full ingredient list.

What should I do if it arrives softened?

Let the container stand upright in a cool place before opening. If you have concerns about the product when it arrives, contact us with your order number and a photo so we can help.

How does Buy one, get one 50% off work?

Choose any two eligible products, scents, or sizes. The lower-priced item is 50% off automatically in your cart; no code is needed. All selling products except Lip Balm are eligible, including the Trio and both Whipped Tallow sizes. The one-item option remains available.

When will my order ship?

We typically ship the next business day. We’ll email tracking details when it ships. Delivery timing varies by destination and carrier.
