Using 100% grass-fed and finished tallow in lip balm offers several distinct benefits:

1. Superior Moisturization:

Grass-fed and finished tallow is rich in fatty acids, including oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which closely match the skin’s natural lipids. This helps to deeply moisturize and condition the lips, providing effective relief from dryness and chapping.

2. Enhanced Nutrient Profile:

Tallow from grass-fed cattle contains a higher concentration of beneficial nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are crucial for maintaining healthy skin, with Vitamin E offering antioxidant protection and Vitamin A supporting skin cell regeneration.

3. Strengthened Skin Barrier:

The natural fats in tallow help reinforce the skin barrier of your lips, offering better protection against environmental elements like wind, sun, and cold weather. This can help to prevent moisture loss and keep lips supple and resilient.

4. Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing:

Grass-fed and finished tallow comes from cattle that are raised on pasture and without synthetic hormones or antibiotics. This supports more sustainable and humane farming practices, reducing the environmental impact and promoting animal welfare.

5. Reduced Risk of Irritation:

Grass-fed tallow is a natural, minimally processed ingredient that is less likely to cause irritation compared to some synthetic ingredients or those with artificial additives. This makes it suitable for sensitive skin types.

6. Rich, Non-Greasy Texture:

Despite its rich moisturizing properties, tallow lip balm typically has a non-greasy, smooth texture that feels comfortable on the lips. This makes it an ideal choice for daily use without feeling heavy or sticky.

7. Natural and Minimalist Formula:

Lip balms made with 100% grass-fed tallow often have fewer additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. This minimalist approach can be beneficial for those looking to simplify their skincare routine with natural products.

8. Traditional and Effective:

Tallow has been used in skincare for centuries due to its proven effectiveness. Its use in lip balm reflects a return to traditional , high-quality ingredients that offer reliable performance.

9. Long-Lasting Hydration: Tallow forms a protective barrier on the lips, helping to lock in moisture and provide long-lasting hydration throughout the day, which is particularly beneficial in harsh weather conditions.

Dear Valued Customer,

Due to the nature of our tallow products, during hot weather, we want to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. Here are a few important points to keep in mind:

1. **Shipping Schedule**: We ship our products early in the week to minimize transit time and avoid weekend delays.

2. **Insulated Packaging**: Your order will be packed with insulated materials and cold packs to help maintain a stable temperature during transit.

3. **Upon Arrival**: Keep an eye on your tracking.  Bring the package into a cool area ASAP.  Let it sit for a few hours.  If your tallow product feels soft or has partially melted, simply place it in the refrigerator for a few hours to restore its original consistency. The quality and benefits of the product remain unaffected by this temporary change.
