A deeply nourishing balm that comforts dry, delicate, or compromised skin without irritation.
Our Baby-Friendly Tallow Balm was created for skin that needs comfort, protection, and deep nourishment without unnecessary ingredients or irritation.
Made with grass-fed tallow infused with organic calendula and chamomile, plus skin-compatible organic jojoba oil, this balm helps support softness, resilience, and barrier repair for even the most delicate skin.
Gentle enough for babies yet effective enough for dry, reactive, or compromised skin at any age.
This versatile balm can be used as an everyday face and body moisturiser, a protective balm for dry or irritated areas, or a rich first cleanse that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and buildup without stripping the skin.
Who this is for
Ideal for skin that feels:
- Dry or depleted
- Sensitive or reactive
- Tight, flaky, or uncomfortable
- Overwhelmed by harsh skincare
- In need of barrier support and lasting nourishment
Gentle enough for babies and suitable for all ages.
Why it works
Deep nourishment without heaviness
Grass-fed tallow and organic jojoba oil help replenish moisture while supporting soft, comfortable skin.
Supports the skin barrier
Skin-compatible lipids help protect delicate skin and reduce moisture loss.
Calms reactive skin
Infused calendula and chamomile help comfort dry, stressed, or easily irritated areas.
Multi-purpose restorative care
Use on dry patches, hands, face, body, lips, or nappy areas needing extra support.
Sensitive skin doesn’t need harsher products.
Sometimes it needs fewer, more compatible ingredients that support the skin instead of overwhelming it.
This balm was created to nourish and protect delicate skin while helping restore softness, balance, and long-term skin comfort.
Size: 60g | 100g | Mini Available
Notes
As this balm is made with grass-fed tallow, it carries a soft, natural scent. We embrace this subtle aroma as a reflection of the raw, authentic ingredients inside, with no artificial masking fragrances.
Packaged in reusable amber glass to help protect ingredient integrity and reduce unnecessary plastic exposure.

This balm has become a staple for our family, we use it for our babies and my husband used it when his eczema flares up and I use it as my night cream and my skin is so much happier. It's really gentle and one tin lasts forever even used between the four of us! Love that it has clean ingredients it's the only thing I trust on my babies skin and recommend it to everyone.
I started using this on my newborn and haven't looked back since. I ordered two tubs on my second order. I'd highly recommend.
This stuff really works, very gentle and soothes the skin, i use it as a nappy balm and all over face and body for my sons and myself, it lasts for ages as well because its not whipped. I'm really happy with this and will keep ordering more.
I'm completely in love with this tallow balm, I love tallow balms and have been using a different balm in the past but this one gives me much better results, I think it might be the addition of calendula and chamomile, it's super soothing and gentle enough for me to use on my children as well as myself. And because it's not whipped you get alot more bang for your buck and the jar lasts a long time as you only need a tiny bit.
I got this as well as the Glow elixir at a market and left a similar review there, I love this conscious brand, quality ingredients, no fuss or unnecessary harmful and toxic ingredients and everything is packaged in glass as well so there's no microplastics leaching into your skincare, really really happy with the two products I got, I'm new to tallow balms but it's reassuring to know the ingredients are good for you for a change!
