Tallow balm made in Elkhart County, Indiana. Specifically Wakarusa, in small batches, by hand.
Why tallow instead of lotion
Most lotion is mostly water, held together with emulsifiers and preserved to sit on a shelf for two years. Water feels good for a minute and then evaporates, taking the relief with it. That is why you reapply all day and never get ahead of it.
Beef tallow is not a splash of moisture, it is a seal. Its fatty acid profile is remarkably close to the oils your own skin produces, so it absorbs, stays put, and keeps working through a shift. This is how skin care worked for centuries before labs got involved. See tallow balm vs lotion for the longer version.
Made for the way people work around here
This is RV and manufacturing country. Hands take a beating from cardboard, concrete, cold metal and a hundred hand-washings a day, and January finishes the job. The balm was built for that: thick enough to stay on split knuckles overnight, clean enough to put on a child's cheeks.
