🧡 The Itty Bitty 1oz Try Me Jar of Traditional Tallow Balm
Firm, silky, and slow to melt, this traditional-style balm is our nod to the classic salves of old—simple, effective, and deeply restorative. Made with hand-rendered tallow, nourishing plant oils, and a touch of lavender and sea buckthorn, this 1oz Itty Bitty jar is perfect for first-time users, travel, or tucking into your bag for on-the-go skin support.
Unlike our whipped cream version, this balm is firmer and more salve-like in texture—melting gently on contact to coat dry, rough, or compromised skin in a breathable, nutrient-rich barrier. Ideal for elbows, heels, hands, or anywhere in need of deep moisture and healing care.
Used for centuries by our ancestors, tallow is naturally aligned with the biology of our skin. Rich in bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, and K and essential fatty acids, it supports cell regeneration, soothes inflammation, and restores skin integrity—making it a powerful ally for dry, cracked, or sensitive skin.
We’ve added:
🌿 Sea Buckthorn Oil – A vibrant, golden oil renowned for its healing properties. Exceptionally high in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and omega-7 fatty acids, it helps regenerate skin, reduce redness, and support a healthy glow—especially helpful for eczema, scars, and sun-damaged skin.
💜 Lavender Essential Oil – Gentle, calming, and antibacterial. This classic oil soothes irritation, supports wound healing, and brings a relaxing aromatic experience that’s subtle and comforting.
🌸 Scent: Light and earthy with a soft herbal finish. No synthetic fragrance—just the natural aroma of tallow and soft lavender.
