Original whipped tallow

My son's dry skin bumps on knees and elbows are healing up nicely. Eczema on face and backs of knees, likewise. He reports no stinging sensation, which he has experienced with other creams and lotions. Thank you! We'll be ordering more!

I am hooked on tallow

So glad I can get more on line. My skin and hair love it. My curly hair isn't dry and frizzy anymore and my skin feels so much better (less dry). Perfect for hands as well.

Beautiful product

I love this product, so smooth and nourishing and makes my skin so soft. I prefer the sented over unscented.

Whipped Lamb Tallow, Orange and Vanilla Scented
Good stuff

Very nourishing cream- I had a patch of itchy psoriasis or similar on my ankle that had been there for about 5 months and nothing was helping it. I started using Bloom tallow on it daily after showering and it cleared up completely within 3 weeks. Love it

My son had a skin infection on his hand, which has been hard to get rid of, it is a fight to get him use eczema cream. He doesn't like using creams at all! Once he tried Bloom Tallow, that all changed. He loves it! It has helped to clear up his skin infection. It's a win from us!

Miracle tallow

I had some eczema on the back of my legs that I struggled to get rid of for the last 2 years. Even with using steroid creams the eczema would always come back. Within 3 days of using Bloom Tallow my eczema was cleared and skin was soft again. It even soothes the itching. Love it!!

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.
