Why it works

Tallow Balm and Natural Moisturiser

  • Tallow: Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids like stearic and oleic acids, tallow closely mimics human skin lipids. It deeply moisturises, repairs the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and promotes cell regeneration. Its bioavailability ensures nutrients are easily absorbed.

  • Coconut Oil: A natural emollient with antimicrobial properties, coconut oil hydrates the skin while protecting it from bacteria and environmental stressors. It also helps improve elasticity and soothes irritation.

Benefits of Tallow Balm

  1. Deep Hydration: The fatty acids in tallow provide long-lasting moisture by locking in hydration and preventing water loss.

  2. Barrier Protection: Strengthens the skin's natural barrier to shield against dryness, pollutants, and irritants.

  3. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Soothes conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis by calming redness and irritation.

  4. Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Free from synthetic additives, fragrances, and colorants, making it suitable for all skin types, including babies and those with allergies.

  5. Skin Repair & Rejuvenation: Supports healing of dry or damaged skin with vitamins and nutrients that promote cell regeneration.

  6. Versatile Use: Ideal for dry patches, cracked heels, chapped lips, or as an all-over moisturiser.

Hear from our happy customers,
who've trusted Skin Salve for over 30 years

I've been using the Skin Salve soap for nearly twenty years. When this came out I was overjoyed - the ingredients they use don't irritate my skin so I'm always on the look out for more of their prorducts.

Jacqui D

I’ve tried so many moisturisers for my dry, sensitive skin, but nothing has worked as well as this tallow balm. It melts into my skin, leaving it soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. I love that it has only two ingredients—pure and simple! Highly recommend.

Irina K

It's slightly addictive. I've never used a moisturiser before until it was bought as a present. I love it. I can't stop using it and love the way my hands feel after use.

Why should you avoid SLS?

Data has shown that SLS can destroy the delicate lipid layers which keep skin supple and smooth. SLS can also dry out skin and hair, making it dull. In damaging the skin it can also make it easier for other toxins to penetrate and can increase the risk of infections.
