I recently had the pleasure of trying Hearth and Homestead’s Handmade Whipped Tallow Balm in the Coffee Vanilla scent. This balm is truly a testament to the power of natural, ancestral skincare. As someone who values high-quality, organic products, I was immediately drawn to the promise of tallowa traditional ingredient that our ancestors relied on for skin nourishment.

What sets this balm apart from others is its rich content of vitamins A,D,E,K, and B1, as well as stearic and oleic fatty acids. These unadulterated ingredients make the balm incredibly nourishing for my skin, but also create slight variations in texture. I find this to be a small price to pay for such a high-quality product.

One aspect that truly impressed me was the sourcing of the tallow. The fact that it comes from small farmers who practice regenerative agriculture speaks volumes about the company’s commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Knowing that the cows are healthy and happy, and that their fat contains high levels of vitamins and minerals, adds an extra layer of satisfaction to my use of this balm.

Another standout feature is the mild, clean aroma of this balm. I’ve tried other tallow balms in the past that had a strong, off-putting smell. But the Coffee Vanilla scent of this balm is light and buttery, with just a hint of vanilla to make it pleasant without being overpowering.

Hearth and Homestead prides itself on using only high-quality ingredients in its products, and it shows. There are no artificial ingredients like micas, dyes, or artificial fragrances herejust pure, natural goodness. I appreciate the company’s dedication to this philosophy, as it ensures that I’m putting the best possible products on my skin.

Overall, I am incredibly impressed with Hearth and Homestead’s Handmade Whipped Tallow Balm in Coffee Vanilla. It’s a testament to the power of traditional skincare ingredients, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality, organic body butter.

  • DO IT LIKE GRANDMA DID: Tallow–or rendered beef fat–is ancestral skincare. Our ancestors relied almost solely on animal fats to moisturize, protect, and heal their skin. Enjoy our light, meltable, whipped tallow balm as a contemporary nod to the practice of our forefathers.
  • VITAMIN POWERHOUSE: Tallow is rich in vitamins A,D,E,K and B1 as well as stearic and oleic fatty acids and saturated fat. This yields a balm that is nourishing to your skin, but also highly shelf stable! (Variations in texture are common, due to these unadulterated ingredients).
  • SOURCING: We source our tallow from small farmers who practice regenerative agriculture. This means that they rotationally graze their cows all year long, never feeding anything other than grass. These healthy, happy cows create a beautiful, golden yellow fat that contains high levels of vitamins and minerals. Our top tallow supplier is Polyface Farm in Virginia. We slow-render every batch on our homestead.
  • MILD, CLEAN AROMA: Some tallow balms out there stink like the dickens. We are proud to offer a tallow that smells only lightly buttery upon opening–not beefy or off-putting. Enjoy clean, natural skincare without smelling like a steak (if that’s not what you were looking for…).
  • ABOUT OUR PROCESS: At Hearth and Homestead, we are a small, family-owned business that holds to high standards for every single ingredient we put in our products. We use only high quality essential oils, butters, fats, herbs, and spices. We never use artificial ingredients like micas, dyes, or artificial fragrances.
