About this product
About this product
Grass-fed NZ tallow and my home-grown calendula-infused olive oil, whipped light and soft. Lavender, a touch of peppermint and frankincense give it a fresh, herbal scent. It's the kind of balm I first made for my own kids, and an easy everyday moisturiser for dry skin.
How to use
How to use
- Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips.
- Press it into clean skin; slightly damp skin helps it spread.

Care & shipping
Care & shipping
Store somewhere cool; it softens in heat and firms up again. Use within about 6 months of opening, patch test first, and note it contains beef tallow, so it isn't vegan.
Free shipping on orders over $49. Otherwise NZ is a $9 flat rate and Australia $12. Most orders are posted within 1–3 working days. See our shipping policy and refund policy.
Good questions
Questions about this one
Does it smell like beef?
Not really. I render the tallow several times to keep its natural smell mild, and the scent sits over the top. You might notice a faint buttery note underneath.
Is it greasy?
Not once it's rubbed in. It can feel a little glossy for the first few minutes, then settles and leaves skin soft. If it feels oily, use less: a pea-sized amount is plenty.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes. It's made for face and body. Tallow can be too rich for oily or breakout-prone faces, so patch test first and start with a tiny amount.
How is it different from the solid Relax balm?
The texture. This whipped balm is soft and fluffy. Relax is firmer, made with beeswax, sweet almond oil and arrowroot. Both use lavender and frankincense; this one adds peppermint, Relax adds cedarwood.
My balm arrived soft. Is that normal?
Yes. Whipped balm softens in the heat, especially in summer or in transit. Pop it somewhere cool and it firms up again, though it may be a little less fluffy.
