5 Ways to Use Tallow for Everyday Skincare

Tallow is one of nature’s most powerful moisturizers. It is deeply nourishing, vitamin rich and gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Whether you are dealing with dryness, irritation, or burns, this traditional remedy is as effective today as it was centuries ago.

Why Tallow Works

Tallow is packed with skin-loving fatty acids, including omega 3, 6, 7, and 9. These closely resemble the structure of our own skin’s natural oils. Because of this, the skin can absorb the nutrients in tallow quickly and effectively.

Here are five ways to put your Two of Earth Tallow to work in your skincare routine:

1. Soothe Dry Patches, Cracked Heels and Chapped Lips

Tallow provides fast relief for stubborn dryness. A few applications can transform cracked heels, rough hands and even chapped lips. With consistent use, it replenishes moisture and leaves skin soft and resilient.

2. Calm Acne and Support Healing

With anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-aging properties, tallow helps reduce redness, soothe breakouts and support the skin’s natural healing process. Many find it especially helpful for hormonal acne and lingering scars, like our Premium Tallow Balm with Jojoba Oil 

3. Heal Burns, Sunburns and Irritation

If your skin gets burned, reach for tallow. After just one application, it can bring soothing relief and help speed recovery. Rich in vitamins A, D3, E, and K2, tallow calms even the most irritated skin, including sunburns, chemical burns, and razor burn.

4. Gentle Care for Sensitive Skin

From diaper rash to eczema, tallow is safe and effective for the whole family (especially our Sensitive Tallow Balm). Its nutrient profile, which includes conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), palmitoleic acid (omega 7), alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3) and more, makes it deeply restorative for delicate or compromised skin.

5. First Aid for Cuts and Scrapes

With its unique texture and consistency, tallow can work quickly when applied to cuts and scrapes. Its natural compounds help calm irritation, protect the skin and support faster healing. Our Tallow Travellers are great in the purse, first aid kits and diaper bags.

From everyday dryness to unexpected burns, tallow is a multi-purpose essential you will want to keep on hand.
