Cozy Cottage Whipped Tallow Balm

Toasted almond and rich coconut cream fold into warm cinnamon and holiday spice, finished with smooth vanilla bean. Sweet and comforting, with all the warmth of holiday baking, it makes an ordinary moment feel special.

Tallow is naturally similar to the oils your skin makes on its own, so it relieves dryness, softens rough areas, and seals in moisture against cold, dry air. Because it's so rich, you'll need much less than a lotion or body butter. Simply warm a small amount between your hands and apply to damp skin, where it seals in hydration and absorbs more easily. Too much can feel heavy, so start small and add more only if needed. Whipping makes it easier to scoop and spread, and its texture changes with the seasons: firmer when it's cold and softer when it's warm.

Handcrafted: Our balms begin with beef tallow that we render, filter, and purify in-house in small batches, using a process that takes about six days from start to finish. Because tallow is a natural ingredient, subtle differences in color, scent, or appearance can happen from one batch to the next. Much like from-scratch cooking, it’s a slow process, but some things are just better when they take time.
