Does it smell like beef?
No — and this is the question everyone asks first. Hallow Tallow has zero animal smell, and the Unscented formula simply smells like nothing. When tallow is rendered slowly and carefully, the result is clean and nearly odorless; a beefy smell is the mark of rushed, bulk rendering.
Will it make me greasy or break me out?
It's whipped specifically so it won't sit on your skin the way a dense balm does — it absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, natural finish. Start with a pea-sized amount, especially on your face, and add more only if your skin asks for it. More is not better with a waterless formula. Everyone's skin is different, though — if you're breakout-prone, patch-test on your jawline for a few days first. And if it doesn't agree with your skin, the 60-day guarantee covers you.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes. It's whipped to work as a daily face moisturizer — even for skin that reacts to conventional products. Start with a small amount on clean, slightly damp skin. If your skin is very reactive, patch-test on your jawline for a few days first.
How long does one jar last?
Two to three months with daily use. Because the formula contains no water, it's highly concentrated — a pea-sized amount covers what a palmful of lotion does. One 4 oz jar goes much further than its size suggests.
Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?
The Unscented formula contains no synthetic fragrance, no essential oils, and no parabens — a simple formula many expecting and nursing moms choose. As always, check with your doctor about any product you use during pregnancy or while nursing.
Is it gentle enough for babies and kids?
Yes — it's gentle enough for face, body, lips — even little ones. For babies and kids, we recommend the Unscented formula — five simple ingredients and nothing else. For babies, we suggest patch-testing a small area first, as you would with anything new.
What if it arrives soft or melted in summer?
Tallow is a natural fat, and natural fats soften in heat — we won't pretend otherwise. If your jar arrives soft, put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes and the whipped texture comes right back. The quality of the formula is completely unaffected.
What if it doesn't work for my skin?
Use it every single day for the full 60 days if you need to. If your skin doesn't notice the difference, we refund every penny. No questions, no return shipping.
