This simple guide explains how to use tallow skin cream, from choosing a small amount to warming and applying it.
If you're trying tallow skincare for the first time, one of the first questions you're likely to have is:
How much tallow cream should I actually use?
The answer is probably less than you think.
Unlike many conventional lotions, Tallow & Cacao Nourishing Skin Cream is a concentrated, waterless formulation. That means you don't need a large amount to cover your skin.
Here's how to get the most from it.
How Much Tallow Cream Should You Use?
Start small.
Because Tallow & Cacao contains no added water, a little goes a long way.
Take a small amount with clean, dry fingertips and warm it gently between your fingers.
As the cream warms, it softens and becomes easier to spread.
Massage a thin layer gently into your skin and allow it to absorb.
You can always add a little more if your skin needs it.
How to Apply Tallow Cream
Using Tallow & Cacao is simple:
1. Start with clean skin
Apply to clean skin as part of your usual skincare routine.
2. Use a small amount
You don't need to coat your skin in a thick layer. Start with a small amount and add more only if needed.
3. Warm between your fingertips
Gently warming the cream helps soften the tallow and butters and makes application easier.
4. Massage gently into your skin
Spread a thin layer over the desired area using gentle movements.
5. Give it time
Allow the product to settle into your skin before applying other products or getting dressed.
Can You Use Tallow Cream on Your Face?
Tallow-based skincare can be used as part of a facial skincare routine when the finished cosmetic product is intended for that use.
When using a rich, waterless cream on your face, less is often more.
Start with a very small amount and spread it thinly across the skin.
Everyone's skin is different, so adjust the amount depending on how your skin feels.
Can You Use Tallow Cream on Your Body?
Yes. Our Nourishing Skin Cream can also be applied to suitable areas of the body in accordance with the product directions.
It can be particularly enjoyable on areas that feel dry or rough, such as hands, elbows and legs.
Again, you don't need a large amount.
Warm a little between your fingertips and massage gently into the skin.
Should You Apply Tallow to Damp or Dry Skin?
You can apply your skincare according to the directions for the particular product and your own routine.
Because Tallow & Cacao is waterless, some people may prefer applying a small amount after washing, while others may prefer applying it to dry skin.
Experiment with your routine and find the approach that feels best for your skin.
When Should You Use Tallow Skin Cream?
Tallow cream can be incorporated into a simple skincare routine.
Depending on your skin and preferences, you might choose to use it:
In the morning as part of your daily routine.
In the evening after cleansing.
After washing or bathing when your skin needs conditioning.
Whenever skin feels dry and you want a richer skincare product.
You don't need to follow an unnecessarily complicated routine.
Consistency and finding what works for your skin are more important.
Can You Use Too Much Tallow Cream?
You can certainly use more than you need.
Tallow & Cacao is deliberately rich and concentrated.
If your skin feels excessively greasy after application, try using less product next time rather than assuming you need to wait longer for a large amount to absorb.
Start small.
You can always add more.
Why Is Tallow & Cacao So Concentrated?
The answer comes down to our formulation.
Tallow & Cacao Nourishing Skin Cream contains no added water.
Instead, it's made from just five carefully selected ingredients:
Organic Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Our rich emollient base.
Organic Cocoa Butter
Contributes to the cream's luxurious texture and helps leave skin feeling soft and conditioned.
Organic Castor Oil
Contributes to the smooth application and feel of our formulation.
Organic Vanilla CO₂ Extract
Carefully selected as part of our finished formulation.
Organic Frankincense Essential Oil
Used in a carefully controlled amount.
Five ingredients. Nothing unnecessarily complicated.
How Should You Store Tallow Skin Cream?
As with any cosmetic product, proper storage helps maintain its quality.
Follow the storage instructions provided with your product and avoid exposing it unnecessarily to excessive heat, direct sunlight or moisture.
Because Tallow & Cacao is made with naturally derived fats, butters and oils, changes in temperature can affect its texture.
This doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with the product — it's simply a characteristic of this type of formulation.
Always keep the lid securely closed and use clean, dry hands when taking product from the jar.
What If It's Your First Time Using Tallow Skincare?
Don't overcomplicate it.
Start with a small amount and introduce it into your normal skincare routine.
Everyone's skin is individual, so pay attention to how your skin responds.
As with any cosmetic product, follow the directions and warnings supplied with the finished product and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
