Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is tallow, and why is it used in skincare?
Tallow is a form of rendered animal fat, traditionally from cows or sheep, that has been purified for use. It has been used for centuries to moisturise and protect the skin. Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely resembles human skin’s natural oils, which makes it highly compatible. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega fatty acids that deeply nourish the skin and support a healthy skin barrier.
How can tallow benefit eczema-prone or TSW-affected skin?
Tallow provides deep, lasting moisture and forms a natural barrier that helps prevent water loss. It soothes inflammation, calms irritation, and is free from harsh chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Its nutrient-rich profile supports healing and barrier repair, making it especially beneficial for people with eczema or those going through topical steroid withdrawal (TSW).
Will using tallow on my face clog pores or cause breakouts?
Tallow is generally non-comedogenic and does not clog pores for most people. Because it mimics the skin’s natural oils, it absorbs well and helps balance oil production. It also contains anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help calm breakouts rather than cause them.
What does tallow balm feel and smell like on the skin?
Tallow balm feels rich and creamy in the jar but melts into a smooth, oil-like texture on the skin. It absorbs well when used sparingly and leaves the skin feeling soft and protected without being greasy. Any aroma fades quickly upon application. Lightly scented versions may include gentle essential oils.
Why does Bloom Tallow use lamb tallow instead of beef, and what are its benefits?
Lamb tallow has a slightly different fatty acid profile, with more oleic and stearic acid, making it deeply moisturising and great for skin regeneration. It has a light, silky feel and absorbs well. Bloom Tallow uses 100% lamb tallow sourced from New Zealand grass-fed lamb, making it a sustainable and locally sourced option. It’s also unique in the market and offers excellent benefits for sensitive and compromised skin.
