Specialty Tallow Balms & Salves
Our specialty balms and salves are concentrated tallow formulas designed for targeted support, deeper hydration, and hardworking skin. Made with hand rendered suet tallow from grass fed cattle raised on our ranch, these products go beyond basic moisture to deliver intensive care where it matters most.
From heavy-duty repair sticks for cracked hands to calming and relief-focused salves, each formula is intentionally crafted using nutrient-dense tallow and functional ingredients. These are not whipped, airy balms — they are solid, stay-put formulas built for durability, performance, and real results.
Freshly produced on the farm and shipped directly to you, our specialty balms are traceable, potent, and rooted in traditional skincare practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tallow and why should I use it on my skin?
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. It's incredibly nourishing because it's rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus fatty acids that closely match our skin's natural oils. This means your skin recognizes and absorbs it easily, unlike synthetic ingredients.
Does tallow skincare feel greasy?
No! Our tallow products are whipped and formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue. The fatty acid profile in grass-fed tallow is similar to human skin oils, so it melts in and doesn't sit on top of your skin like petroleum-based products.
Where does your tallow come from?
All our tallow comes from our own grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle here at Rivas Ranch in North Carolina. We control every step—from pasture to rendering to finished product—ensuring the highest quality and complete traceability.
How long does shipping take?
We ship within 2-3 business days. Since we make everything fresh in small batches on our farm, your products are never sitting in warehouses. Delivery typically takes 3-7 business days depending on your location.
Are your products safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! Our tallow products use minimal, functional ingredients that work with your body, not against it. Many customers with sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies to synthetic fragrances find tallow-based skincare to be gentle and effective. However, if you have a beef allergy, please consult your doctor first.
