Beef tallow earns doubt. These reviews started exactly where you might be right now.
At 58 I thought putting beef tallow on my face sounded mad. My skin has felt drier every winter for a decade and I had tried department-store creams and prescription-strength moisturizers. Two weeks in, my cheeks stopped feeling tight by mid-morning. It works fine under my makeup too.
My wife bought this for me after years of cracked knuckles every January. I was skeptical about putting fancy balm on, but it's unscented, it soaks in, and my hands feel better than they have in winters past. I use it after shaving too.
January knuckles are exactly what the unscented jar was made for, Carl. Tell your wife she has good instincts.
My cheeks love it, though my chin prefers a lighter layer, so now I use it on cheeks, hands and elbows only. Worth knowing if your skin is reactive: patch test first, exactly like they tell you to.
Thank you for the honest note, Barbara. You're spot on that a thinner layer suits more reactive areas, and we'd always rather you used it where it works than forced it everywhere. If your chin ever fancies a try again, press in the tiniest amount on damp skin. Glad your cheeks and hands are happy.
Honestly my own doing. After it arrived I got a bit squeamish about the whole beef tallow idea and decided it was not for me before I really gave it a fair go. Emailed them and was refunded the same day, no posting anything back. Cannot fault the company, just got cold feet.
Completely understand, Sheila. Tallow is a leap if it is new to you, and we would always rather refund you the same day than have you keep a jar you feel unsure about. No hard feelings at all. If you are ever curious again, try a little Unscented on your hands first.

Rendered and whipped, tallow is nothing like the fat in a pan. It's roughly half oleic acid, one of the main fatty acids in your skin's own oils, which is why it absorbs in minutes instead of sitting on top. And no, it doesn't smell like a kitchen.
Honest answer: it's a rich balm, not an acne product. Most combination skin does fine with a pea-sized amount pressed into damp skin. If you congest easily, patch test on the jawline for a week and keep to a thin layer on dry areas.
Unscented smells of almost nothing and fades in minutes. Lavender and Citrus are scented softly with essential oils, never perfume. For sensitive skin, pregnancy and little ones, choose Unscented.
You get the full 100 days. Take a photo when the jar arrives, give it 30 days of daily use, and if your skin doesn't feel softer and calmer, one email and your money comes back. Keep the jar.
