Best for
- Daily face, hand, and body moisture
- Everyday dry spots that need a little extra
- One simple jar to start with
I'm Jack. I grew up with dry, sensitive-feeling skin that never got along with the long, unpronounceable ingredient lists on most lotions. The more I learned, the more it came back to one simple idea: skin recognizes real, whole fats.
So we built Tall Owl around grass-fed tallow and a short list of ingredients you can actually read - handcrafted in small batches here in Colorado. No fillers, no synthetic fragrance, nothing your skin has to work to understand.
Every jar is the product I wish I'd had years ago.

Whipped Tallow is the lighter, everyday jar for face, hands, and body. Body Balm is the firmer balm built for rough spots - elbows, knees, heels, hands. Most shoppers start with Whipped Tallow and add Body Balm later for problem zones.
For most shoppers, the 3 oz jar lasts 6-10 weeks at daily face + hand use. A pea-sized amount covers more than you think.
The whipped texture sinks in faster than a body balm. It is richer than a lotion but lighter than a butter - built to disappear into dry skin within a few minutes.
The Unscented variant is built around a 3-ingredient skin-recognized formula. Scented variants add real essential oils - if you are pregnant or nursing, choose Unscented or consult your provider on specific essential oils.
Grass-fed tallow closely matches the natural sebum profile of human skin and is non-comedogenic for most shoppers. If you have acne-prone or congestion-prone skin, start small and patch test for a few days.
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.
