What can I do if my product melts
Tallow melts at 85 degrees. It is best to store it in a cool, out of the sun. If it does melt, the oils may separate. Simply mix them together gently and use as before. Can be placed in the fridge till product is solid again. Melting does not change the effectiveness of the product.

Expiration date for Balms
We recommend using your tallow product within six months of receiving it. While tallow can keep for a year or more, if it becomes contaminated it can develop mold (since we don't use any preservatives or stabilizers in our products). Because of this, it's important that you don't allow any water to enter your product and don't store it in a warm, moist place. If you see any black spots develop in your product, discontinue use. If your product has any black spots upon arrival, please contact us.

Does tallow smell
Tallow does have a natural odor, it smells different to everyone and some may love it (we think it smells sweet like icing) while others may not like it. Some products don't smell like tallow at all while some do end up with a faint tallow smell, it all depends on a variety of factors that are impossible to control. That's to be expected with natural products, they vary based on seasons as well the animal's diets. The infused oils that are added to the tallow do give a subtle herbal scent. We don't believe it's necessary to add fragrances and prefer to offer a safer product with a milder scent. We do quality check each batch we release, but if you are unsatisfied with your product please don't hesitate to contact us right away.

What is tallow
Tallow is defined as the oil rendered from the suet (or fat) of animals such as cows in our products. Now, you may be picturing the gristle you cut off your steak or what’s left in your pan after cooking ground beef, but the tallow we render and use is a hard, white, tasteless and mildly sweet smelling oil that is solid at room temperature and, unlike the actual fat tissues, can be stored for long periods without refrigeration. When applied to the skin, it absorbs completely, isn’t greasy and has bioavailable nutrients.
