I really like this product. It leaves my skin feeling smooth not greasy. It has a really pleasant smell and it doesn’t irritate my skin or burn. I like to use it after I shave.
This is my second jar purchased, I use it twice a day on my face and a small amount goes a long way. I have a mixed combo skin and it leaves my face feeling so smooth and fresh and I’d say the texture of my skin has improved since using.
I love this product! I live in New Mexico, and the tallow and honey balm keeps my skin dewy soft and youthful.
I’m in my 70’s. I love beef tallow. I recently bought the clarifying set. I use it nightly and my skin has greatly improved.
I'm a fan! I've seriously never seen a product so beautiful and useful. My skin smells great and stays soft, even without the cream on. This stuff has really changed things for me.
Ancestral unscented tallow balm is amazing, I use it day and night as a facial moisturizer.
One little scoop warmed in my hands is all i need and its not greasy and works perfectly as a base for make up. My mature, dry skin has never looked so plump and healthy. What a fab product!
Got this for my husband due to him having eczema.He needs to use it daily but it seems to be working!
Let me be completely honest…I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut about products/stores I really like because then they become popular and things change. As much as I’d love to leave a mediocre review of this tallow/honey balm, I just can’t. I LOVE this stuff! I had used a balm that I really liked but didn’t keep the jar to reorder (thought it was in my order history). I tried multiple balms after that trying to find the one I liked or one similar but just kept being disappointed. They were too thin, made me break out, felt greasy, etc. I finally asked chatgpt to help me find a natural balm without a bunch of cheap fillers, thick enough that I’d need to rub it in my hands for a few seconds to melt (higher bees wax than what I was getting), that didn’t leave me feeling greasy, didn’t make me break out and wasn’t going to break the bank. I ordered the top 3 suggestions, this one included. I don’t see me using another product now that I’ve found this one. If you’ve been contemplating trying this, just do it. Yes, you can find other balms that are less expensive but you won’t find one that’s better quality!
Beautiful products. I love them!
Very happy to recommend.
Wonderful to see an Irish company producing safe,toxin free products suitable for use for all the family
Love this product and company! I threw away all my other moisturizers and use this everyday. I even put my makeup over it and it blends beautifully. I tell everyone about this and it’s not because of my relatives from Ireland. It just makes my skin feel so soft and healthy.
I love this stuff! I’m on my second jar. Every night, deep cleanse & tallow balm. My skin has never looked or felt better!
(Special treat for feet too occasionally!)
My skin generally requires something thick, otherwise it looks quite dull and aged sometimes. The Tallow and Honey balm so far seems to be just what I need. It is very thick but feels very 'organic' on my skin. The smell is also very pleasant. The issue I've had with other thick moisturisers is clogged pores and weighted looking skin, and I was pretty surprised to find I didn't have any of that with this tallow and honey balm. I've seen these beef tallow products advertised on social media for ages, and I always presumed it was just another marketing trend to sell an average product as a gamechanger for skincare. But now I do believe tallow and honey actually has a lot of merit to it.
I did have an issue with my order delivery unfortunately (which was to no fault of Ancestral Cosmetics), so I contacted them for help and was surprised to get a reply pretty much instantly. They sorted out my issue straight away, so the customer service was unfaultable, as well as the product.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this balm genuinely surprised me.
I originally bought it because I wanted to move away from synthetic creams and simplify my skincare—but I didn’t expect it to work this well. The texture is rich and buttery, and you only need a tiny amount. It melts into the skin beautifully and leaves it feeling deeply nourished rather than just temporarily moisturised.
Within a few days, I noticed a real difference. Dry patches on my hands and elbows completely disappeared, and my skin stayed soft all day (which never happens with regular lotions). A lot of people mention how long-lasting the hydration is, and I can confirm that—it doesn’t just sit on the surface, it actually feels like it’s repairing your skin.
I was also a bit unsure about using tallow at first, but it makes sense—my skin seems to recognise it instantly. It feels incredibly compatible, almost like my skin drinks it in.
Another thing I love is how versatile it is. I’ve used it as a face moisturiser, lip balm, and even on irritated skin—and it calms everything down straight away. I’ve read other people say it helped with eczema and sensitive skin, and I can see why.
Yes, it is a richer balm, so if you apply too much it can feel slightly heavy at first—but give it a few minutes and it absorbs nicely, leaving your skin soft and smooth rather than greasy.
The fact that it’s handmade in small batches with simple, natural Irish ingredients just makes it even better. No fillers, no nonsense—just something that actually works.
Honestly, this has replaced pretty much everything in my routine. My skin looks healthier, feels stronger, and just has that natural glow again.
Will 100% be repurchasing
I have just started using these products and bought for my daughter too and we both absolutely love the products; will definitely continue using them. Customer service and delivery were equally fantastic! I would highly recommend this company!
Absolutely blown away with this, it melts into my skin without leaving it feeling greasy. My skin texture has improved already, really soft and fewer blemishes. Definitely buying more when I’ve finished this pot.
I am very happy with all the products I have purchased including the lip balm! My skin and lips are happier, and I can use the products every day and not break out. Keep doing what you are doing as it is wonderful!
I’ve ordered this multiple times for my teenage daughter, who previously struggled with breakouts. Her skin looks great now.Thanks!
I’m a man , i have never used lotions or anything like that before. So, when The so called specialists at the dermatology department diagnosed me with some sort of Dermatitis that according to them and millions of dollars worth of research had no root cause, no cure, but they had a treatment. Steroid creams and other anti fungal ointments i had to use and be dependent on for life. I refused to use them! My skinn was becoming more fragile using those products. It felt thin looked like old man skin. The condition was like dandruff but on my face along with itching and would flare up from time to time i would try to manage it using different approaches. I gave this beef tallow stuff a try! I was skeptical, but the idea behind it made sense. 3 days in, i felt like i had skin again. I could touch or even scratch without feeling like i was hurting myself. Im like two weeks into it and my skin looks better now. Stress was afactor in my condition and i just had a few stressful days at work, and nothing! This stuff is great. I Even forget to use it sometimes. My skin doesn’t relapse i feel like its more durable like it used to be. Great work guys! Thank you.
Love the products, pure with no nasty ingredients and absorbs readily into the skin.
Im on my second round of the Tallow scented body butter, tallow and black seed clarifying balm( my favorite)and now also trying the tallow deodorant.
Love this tallow balm. I tried f- balm but it smelled like beef. I even have my 91yr. old mother using it.
My skin has never looked this amazing , no single pimple I started using tallow and honey since I was pregnant and at point my skin was bad since then my skin has improved I don’t need any expensive moisturiser. So now I bought the starter set
