Good questions
Questions about this one
What does it smell like?
Fresh, green and herbal. Kawakawa has a slightly peppery note, mānuka adds an earthy, woody depth and lavender softens it all. You may notice a faint buttery note from the tallow.
Is it the same as your whipped balms?
No. This one is made with beeswax and no coconut oil, so it's firmer and richer. It melts as soon as it meets warm skin.
Is it greasy?
A little, at first. It's a rich, firm balm, so it can feel glossy for a few minutes. Use a small amount and press it in.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes, sparingly. It's richer than our whipped balms, so it's best on hands, elbows, knees and heels. On your face, use a tiny amount and patch test first.
How long will it keep?
About 6 months once opened. Tallow is a natural fat and slowly loses its freshness, so keep it somewhere cool and dark and use clean, dry fingers.
