Our Original tallow & honey balm is the most effective natural moisturiser in the world. Made from 100% grass-fed Irish beef tallow & raw Irish honey it contains the best bioavailable nutrients and antioxidants to boost skin repair and provide deep, intense moisturisation.

Tallow is extremely compatible with our skin because it shares similar biology with the oils our skin naturally produces. This makes tallow the most effective natural moisturiser.

Handmade in Ireland in small batches, our original tallow & honey balm will make your skin look healthy, young, smooth and soft.

Due to its antimicrobial properties, it can be used not only as a rich facial moisturiser but also as a skin-repairing balm or to help with acne breakouts. Use it to replace synthetic moisturisers, face creams, body lotions, day/night creams, and hand creams...

Use it on dry and cracked skin, to prevent frostbites in winter, help with eczema, rashes, psoriasis or minor sunburns.

    • Natural Beeswax

      Beeswax acts as an effective skin moisturiser by attracting water molecules. At the same time, it protects the skin from losing retained moisture while being very gentle on the skin.

    • Frankincense

      Known as the king of essential oils Frankincense has a variety of benefits in skincare. Superb anti-ageing ingredient due to its ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce inflammation & improve skin tone.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    FAQ

    Is Tallow & Honey Balm suitable for use on the face?

    Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm is perfectly suitable for use on the face as a daily moisturiser or occasional treatment.

    Will this work on eczema and acne?

    While we can’t offer any guarantees, many of our customers had great results with reducing acne breakouts and soothing eczema while using our balm. Honey is a natural antibacterial and tallow is soothing on the inflammations.

    What can I use tallow balm for?

    Tallow & Honey Balm can be used as a general multipurpose moisturiser for both the body and face. It works great on dry skin, eczema, rashes, frostbites, minor sunburns etc. Use it to replace synthetic moisturisers, face creams, body lotions, day/night creams, and hand creams...

    How to use tallow balm?

    Take a small amount of balm in between the palms of your hands, warm it up and then apply it to your skin. You can also apply it directly to your skin, wait a moment until it starts to soften and then gently massage it in.

    How often can I use tallow balm?

    You can use the balm as often as you need to. Most people use it once or twice per day but this can vary depending on your specific skin type, climate in the area where you live, your lifestyle and other factors.

    Our balm is completely natural and highly effective so little goes a long way. Some people use it twice per day or more while some people have great results using it once every other day.

    Does the balm smell beefy?

    We filter our tallow to make sure it’s nicely purified and there's no beefy smell left. We then add our own blend of pure essential oils for an amazing smell. Some people might be more sensitive to scent than others but most will not smell tallow at all just the goodness of pure essential oils.

    What does it smell like?

    The Original balm has a gentle woodsy scent coming from pure essential oils we use. The base notes are those of Frankincense and Sandalwood tied together with a small amount of Patchouli and Palmarosa and with a slight floral hint of Neroli and Rose Geranium at the top.

    My tallow balm is hard. Is this normal?

    Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm can be harder in structure because it’s a completely natural product without any stabilisers which means it's more affected by seasonal temperature changes. This means it will be harder during winter and softer in summer months.

    Your balm will likely be harder when it arrives as it's stored in cold warehouses and delivery vehicles on the way to you. Leave it at room temperature for around 24 hours to soften up before using it.

    In winter months it's recommended to warm up the balm between your palms and then apply it to the skin to allow for a smooth application. If you find it harder to scoop out with a finger you can use the back of your fingernail to scoop up a small amount of balm.

    My tallow balm is soft. Is this normal?

    Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm can be softer in structure because it’s a completely natural product without any stabilisers which means it's more affected by seasonal temperature changes. This means it will be harder during winter and softer in summer months.

    If you live in a warm climate keep your balm away from direct sunlight. It can be safely kept at room temperature but if it's extremely hot you can store it in a cool, dry place or put it in the fridge if it's starting to melt.

    Can babies and kids use Tallow & Honey Balm?

    Our Tallow & Honey Balm is great for kids over 3 years of age. For babies and kids under 3, we recommend our Baby Protection Balm which is specifically formulated for sensitive baby skin & contains a small amount of gentle essential oils so it's perfect for sensitive baby's skin.

    I'm allergic to bee products, should I use the balm?

    Our Original Tallow & Honey Balm contains both honey and beeswax so if you have any allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients please be mindful of that.

    I can’t use essential oils, what do I do?

    That’s ok! We also have an Unscented version of our Tallow & Honey Balm. It's the same but without any essential oils so it's perfect for anyone with sensitivity to essential oils.

    Miracle in a jar

    I’ve had great skin all my life, over the last couple of years I’ve had problems with my scalp ie hair loss plaques and dry scales, a few months ago my skin on my face has gotten dry and red inflammation on parts with skin actually splitting after trying various creams from Docter and dermatologist and other online companies I felt none were helping me I saw the advert for tallow use on your skin, I looked in to ancestral cosmetics web site and read about there honey balm and was intrigued so after reading reviews I decided to order a jar to try, when it arrived I’d had a flare up of red broken skin, after only three days my inflammation had gone and one of my friends said my skin was glowing I explained what I was using and my other friend said can she try some on a dry patch on her nose, with the results that both want me to order them both a jar when I reorder which I shall be doing soon as I want to try the other products, as you only use a very small amount the jar shall last a while my skin now feels so soft I would recommend you to give it a go and that this is an honest review.

    Addicted to this stuff!

    I get so very dry in the winter months and this stuff is a game changer. It’s like butter and melts luxuriously into your skin. Giving that “glass skin” look.
