Why Tallow and Honey Are a Dream Team for Skin (And Why We Whip Them Together)
Share
In the world of skincare, there’s a lot of noise. But every now and then, a product comes along that’s not just hype — it’s rooted in something real. Our Whipped Tallow and Honey Balm is made with two of nature’s most powerful skin healers: grass-fed beef tallow and raw honey. It’s a minimalist formula with maximum impact — and the results speak for themselves.
Let’s take a closer look at why we use these ingredients, and what makes our honey extra special.
Why We Use Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Tallow has been used for generations as a natural skin salve, and it’s making a comeback for good reason. It closely mimics the lipids found in our skin’s outer layer, meaning it’s incredibly nourishing and highly bioavailable.
Skin Benefits of Tallow:
• Deeply moisturises without clogging pores
• High in skin-essential fatty acids like oleic and stearic acid
• Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Supports skin barrier function and natural healing
• Ideal for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin
We use only 100% grass-fed Australian tallow, carefully rendered and whipped for a smooth, cloud-like texture that melts into the skin effortlessly.
The Power of Raw Honey — Straight From Flow Hives
Not all honey is created equal. Ours is harvested from Flow Hives, an award-winning Australian innovation that allows honey to be collected without disturbing the bees. This gentle, sustainable method preserves the integrity of the hive — and the purity of the honey.
Why Flow Hive Honey Matters:
• Minimally processed and raw, preserving its full spectrum of enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients
• Harvested in a way that protects bee health and biodiversity
• Free from heat treatment or filtering, meaning it retains its natural antibacterial and healing properties
• Sustainably sourced, supporting ethical beekeeping practices right here in Australia
Skin Benefits of Flow Hive Raw Honey:
• Naturally antimicrobial — helps reduce breakouts and support wound healing
• Rich in antioxidants and enzymes that calm inflammation and nourish the skin
• Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and improving hydration
• Gently brightens and balances dull or stressed skin
Our balm includes this honey in its rawest, most potent form — no dilution, no heat, no compromise.
Why We Whip Them Together
Most tallow balms are firm and waxy. We whip ours into a silky, airy consistency that glides on effortlessly, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling velvety-soft — not greasy. The result? A balm that feels luxurious but works hard underneath the surface.
It’s gentle enough for the face, rich enough for dry patches, and pure enough for even the most sensitive skin.
What Makes Our Whipped Tallow and Honey Balm Different
Our Whipped Tallow and Honey Balm is handcrafted in small batches using just a few potent, functional ingredients. There are no synthetic additives, essential oils, emulsifiers, or preservatives — only nature’s finest.
It’s especially suited for:
• Dry or flaky skin
• Eczema, psoriasis, or barrier-compromised skin
• Post-shave or post-sun exposure
• Lips, elbows, hands, and heels
• Babies, kids, and anyone seeking a truly natural skin solution
How to use it
Warm a small amount between clean fingers and massage gently into damp skin. For best results, mist your skin first (we recommend our Botanical Radiance Facial Mist) to enhance absorption and lock in hydration.
Nourish Your Skin, Naturally
If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and trustworthy balm — this is it. With only two star ingredients (tallow + Flow Hive honey), this balm delivers deep nourishment with zero compromise.
