Traditional Tallow, Uncompromised Purity
At The Beauty of Freedom, we don’t over-render our beef tallow—we respect it. Using time-honored methods and low heat, we gently purify 100% grass-fed, grass-finished American tallow without stripping away its vital nutrients.
Some brands go to great lengths to eliminate the natural scent of tallow—processing it again and again until it's just a neutral base. But with that comes a loss of skin-healing benefits, including:
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
Skin-identical fatty acids
Anti-inflammatory compounds
Naturally hydrating lipids
We preserve these elements to deliver a balm that’s not just skin-deep—it’s deeply nourishing, the way nature intended. That means our balm may carry a light, natural aroma—your assurance of its purity. And if you prefer a gentler scent, our versions with organic essential oils like Frankincense and Black Cumin Seed Oil provide balance without compromise.
We believe skincare should be honest, effective, and rooted in the values of self-reliance and craftsmanship. This is why we never over-render—because real ingredients, in their most natural form, give real results.
How to Use Our Balms for Best Results
We believe skincare should be simple, natural, and in tune with your daily rhythm. To get the most out of our handcrafted tallow balms, here’s how we recommend working them into your routine:
Morning Routine: Start Your Day with the Classic
Our Classic Tallow Balm is the perfect way to begin your day.
Lightweight and nourishing, this balm delivers deep hydration without feeling greasy—making it especially ideal for the face, hands, and neck during the day. It's carefully rendered to be less fatty in texture, so it absorbs quickly and sits comfortably under clothing or makeup.
Made with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow, it provides the essential nutrients your skin needs to stay protected, moisturized, and resilient through whatever your day holds.
Evening Routine: Restore and Replenish Overnight
As your body and skin rest at night, this is the time to bring in the big healing power.
Reach for our Tallow Balm with Frankincense Essential Oil or Tallow Balm with Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil in the evening. These blends are richer and more therapeutic, designed to soothe tired skin, promote healing, and support regeneration while you sleep.
Frankincense calms the senses and encourages skin cell renewal, helping smooth and brighten the complexion overnight.
Black Cumin Seed Oil works wonders on problem areas—reducing inflammation, balancing the skin, and softening rough or damaged patches.
Massage into your face, hands, or anywhere you want extra nourishment. You’ll wake up feeling restored, refreshed, and ready to go.
Simple. Honest. Effective.
By syncing your skincare with the natural rhythms of your day, you’ll get the most benefit out of each balm—and enjoy a skincare routine that feels as good as it works.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What makes The Beauty of Freedom balms different from other skincare products?
A: We use 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow and organic essential oils or organic black cumin seed oil. We never add synthetics, seed oils, preservatives, or artificial fragrances. Our balms are pure, handcrafted, and rooted in traditional American values of quality and honesty.
Q: Does the Classic Pure Tallow Balm have a smell?
A: Our Pure Tallow Balm may have a very mild natural tallow scent, but it is not strong or unpleasant. This gentle aroma is a sign of purity and quality—we don’t over-render our tallow just to remove its natural character. Over-rendering may reduce scent, but it also strips away vital skin-nourishing nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K. We choose to preserve those benefits.
Once applied to the skin, the scent fades quickly and becomes unnoticeable—leaving behind only deeply moisturized, healthy skin. We also never use artificial fragrances or chemical masking agents like many competitors do.
Q: What does “over-rendered” tallow mean?
A: Over-rendered tallow has been processed multiple times, often at high heat, to remove all scent and color. While it looks and smells more "neutral," this extra processing also strips away many of the beneficial nutrients your skin actually needs.
Q: Are your essential oils and black cumin seed oil organic?
A: Yes! Unlike many mass-produced products, we use only certified organic essential oils and organic black cumin seed oil to ensure the highest quality and purity for your skin. No pesticides, no chemical residues—only nature’s best.
Q: What can I use your balms for?
A: Our balms are extremely versatile! They work wonderfully as a daily face and body moisturizer, a baby balm for sensitive skin, a natural aftershave, and a healing salve for dry, irritated areas. One jar, endless possibilities—naturally.
Q: Where are your products made?
A: Every jar is handcrafted with care in the USA, by a small, family-run business rooted in faith, tradition, and American craftsmanship.
Q: Are your products safe for all skin types?
A: Absolutely. Our tallow balms are formulated to be gentle, bio-compatible with human skin, and safe for all ages and skin types—including sensitive and delicate skin.
Q: Why do you use beef tallow instead of plant oils?
A: Beef tallow is uniquely bio-identical to human skin, meaning it absorbs deeply without clogging pores. Unlike many plant oils or seed oils, tallow naturally contains a perfect balance of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) that nourish, protect, and restore the skin the way nature intended.
Q: Is beef tallow balm greasy?
A: No! Our tallow balm is rich but quickly absorbing. It deeply moisturizes without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. Our Classic Tallow Balm is especially lightweight, making it perfect for daily face and body use.
Q: How long does one jar of balm last?
A: A little goes a long way! Most customers find that one jar lasts several months with regular daily use, depending on how much they apply.
Q: Can I use your balm if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. Our balms are made with only pure, non-comedogenic ingredients and contain no harsh chemicals, seed oils, or irritants. Many customers with sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin find tremendous relief and healing with our products.
Q: Do your products contain any synthetic fragrances or preservatives?
A: Never. We believe in full transparency. Our balms are free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, artificial preservatives, seed oils, or any unnecessary chemicals. Only natural, clean ingredients — nothing more, nothing less.
Q: Are your products cruelty-free?
A: Absolutely. We are proud to use tallow from ethically raised, grass-fed cattle and never test our products on animals. We believe in respecting the land, the animals, and the natural cycle of life.
Q: Do you accept returns?
A: We accept returns or issue replacements if an item arrives damaged. Because our products are handcrafted personal care items, we cannot accept returns for other reasons. For more information please see here
Q: What is the shelf life of your balms?
A: Our balms naturally last up to 12 months if stored in a cool, dry place. Because we use no synthetic preservatives, we recommend keeping the lid tightly closed and avoiding direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Can I use your balm on my children or during pregnancy?
A: Yes! Our Pure Tallow Balm is gentle enough for babies, young children, and pregnant mothers. If you prefer essential-oil-free options during pregnancy, our Classic Pure Tallow Balm is the perfect choice.
