Kids generate rough patches like it's their job: winter cheeks, sandbox elbows, pool-season everything. Parents read labels harder than anyone, so here's ours in full: tallow, coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil, vitamin E. That's the unscented tin, complete.
Why parents pick tallow
- Seven ingredients you can pronounce, no fragrance, no preservatives (no water in the tin means none are needed)
- It stays where you put it, one bedtime application instead of chasing a toddler with a lotion bottle three times a day
- One tin for the whole family, same balm handles your hands and their elbows
How to use it on kids
- A thin layer on rough spots at bedtime, warmed in your hands first
- Cheeks and chins in winter, especially for the drooly ages
- Patch test first on new skin, same as you would with anything (inner arm, wait a day)
The honest part
We make skin care, not medicine, and we won't pretend otherwise. If your kid has a diagnosed skin condition or something that looks angry rather than dry, that's a pediatrician conversation, not a balm purchase. What we promise is only what's in the tin: seven clean ingredients that do right by ordinary dry skin.
Raw (unscented) is the one for kids. Made by hand in small batches in Wakarusa, Indiana.
