If your beauty bag is filled with tallow-based products, like a mineral SPF lip balm , natural deodorant, and more, you may be interested in adding a tallow face cream or balm. But what does each product do, and how do you choose which to use and when? Spoiler alert, you don’t have to choose between one or the other! So, What’s the Difference? There are two key differences between a face cream and a balm: their base composition and application method.  Face Creams: Typically water-based. Their lighter, lotion-like consistency makes them ideal for everyday use because they absorb quickly. Others can be oil-based and still be lighter weight. Think of creams as your daily go-to, helping maintain skin elasticity and moisturize skin throughout the day. Face Balms: Formulated with an oil base (like ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows) sans water. They’re typically thicker in consistency, creating a long-lasting protective layer that locks in moisture. Some are even ...

Everything from dry winter air to harsh cleansers can leave skin feeling dull and dry. The skin barrier, also known as the “stratum corneum,” is the top layer of the epidermis, and it plays several roles. It’s home to your skin’s microbiome and helps lock in moisture when properly supported. One way to restore and support this barrier is to use a gentle non toxic body wash . Consider one made with simple natural i...
