Tallow Lip Balms
Our tallow lip balms are made from grass fed, pasture raised beef suet tallow rendered by hand from cattle raised on our own ranch. This clean, nutrient-dense tallow creates a protective barrier that helps lock in moisture and shield lips from wind, cold, and dry conditions.
Using pure suet fat gives our lip balms a naturally stable structure that absorbs smoothly without feeling waxy or greasy. Tallow closely mirrors the fatty acid profile of healthy skin, making it especially effective for dry, chapped, or sensitive lips that don’t respond well to petroleum-based products.
Each batch is made fresh on the farm and shipped directly to you. We don’t outsource rendering, use fillers, or rely on synthetic stabilizers. Just simple ingredients handled with care from start to finish.
These natural tallow lip balms are built for everyday use in real environments, offering long-lasting moisture and protection with full transparency from pasture to lips.
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.
