Frequently Asked Questions

What is tallow balm? Tallow balm is a natural moisturizer made from grass-fed beef tallow. It's rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and closely mimics the oils in human skin, making it deeply nourishing and easily absorbed.

What makes our tallow balm special? Our tallow balm has a mission! Every purchase helps rescue those in need. We use only grass-fed, pasture-raised beef tallow sourced locally, whipped with pure organic ingredients for a luxurious texture.

Is tallow balm safe for sensitive skin? Our balm is made with simple, organic ingredients and no harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrance, which is why so many customers with easily irritated skin reach for it. It’s gentle enough for every age, from babies to mature skin. As with any new product, we’d suggest patch-testing a small area first.

What can I use tallow balm for? Our balm is incredibly versatile — face and body moisturizer, dry hands and elbows, chapped lips, rough patches, cuticles, and everyday hydration for skin of any age. Plenty of customers keep one jar in the diaper bag and another on the nightstand.

What ingredients are in your tallow balm? We use grass-fed, pasture-raised beef tallow and pure organic botanicals. No harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or unnecessary additives.

How do I use tallow balm? Apply a small amount to clean, slightly damp skin. A little goes a long way! Massage gently until absorbed. Use daily or as needed.

What's the difference between the 2oz and 4oz sizes? Both contain the same premium formula. The 2oz is perfect for trying or travel, while the 4oz offers better value for regular use.

How should I store my tallow balm? Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Tallow is stable at room temperature but may soften in warm conditions.

How does my purchase help others? Every jar of Harvested Hope tallow balm supports our mission to rescue those in need, with an emphasis on victims of human trafficking.

How long does shipping take? Your order will typically ship within 1 to 2 days of being placed.

Can I use tallow balm on my face? Yes! Tallow is uniquely similar to human sebum — the natural oil your skin produces. Because their molecular structures are so close, tallow is “recognized” by your skin and absorbs into the lipid barrier rather than sitting on top, so it doesn’t leave a greasy residue. Tallow also has a low comedogenic rating, meaning a low risk of clogging pores.

Is tallow safe for acne-prone skin? Yes — tallow has a low comedogenic rating, which means a low risk of clogging pores. It mimics your skin’s own oils and absorbs rather than sitting on the surface. The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of grass-fed tallow help calm redness and fight off bacteria. If your skin runs especially oily, our Balance Balm was made for you: the same grass-fed tallow paired with squalane (comedogenic rating 0) and quick-absorbing botanical oils, for a lighter, matte-satin finish.
