Shop our Canadian beef tallow skincare, made with Ontario-approved organic, grass-fed tallow. Find natural tallow balms for eczema and moisturizers for a healthy glow.
Our Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh Tallow Balm is a deeply nourishing body and face moisturizer for cracked, dry and aging skin. The Holy Trinity - Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh - are the gifts that were offered to Jesus and make the perfect holiday gift! These oils have been used for thousands of years and were regarded as sacred and rare. We use organic frankincense, myrrh and golden Jojoba oil to make the perfect balm for thirsty skin. Aromatically, it can be used for prayer, mediation and spiritual well being.
Many creams and lotions on the market are made with ingredients that sit on the surface of the skin, only to temporarily hydrate while actually depleting the skin of it's natural moisture and creating imbalances that can lead to dependency. Our balms work differently. We use 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Canadian beef tallow which is very similar to our skin's biology. Our balms absorb fully and deeply, leaving your skin hydrated, nourished and balanced. Zero water, fillers, chemicals or synthetics are used in our balms.
Our tallow is pesticide free, GMO free, and chemical free.
Scent profile: Warm, resinous, ancient, and deeply comforting.
Benefits
Antimicrobial and Cleansing: traditionally used for skin sores, wounds, and minor blemishes, myrrh and frankincense help keep the skin surface clear of harmful bacteria.
Improves Appearance of Scars and Stretch Marks: Rich in antioxidants, the combination assists in smoothing uneven skin tone and fading the look of minor scars or stretch marks over time.
This blend seals in moisture, softens rough texture, and improves dry skin.
Supports Anti-Aging & Firmness: The blend promotes elasticity, helps lift the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and supports healthy skin matrix remodeling.
Reduces Inflammation & Soothes Irritation: Both resins contain active constituents—such as boswellic acids in frankincense and sesquiterpenes in myrrh—that help suppress inflammatory pathways and calm red or reactive skin.
Ingredients:
Organic grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow is the key ingredient of this luxurious cream. Beef tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins that revitalize the skin.
High in nourishing fatty acids such as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties, Arachidonic Acid (AA), Oleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), and Stearic Acid.
Stearic acid helps the skin stay flexible and youthful.
High in fat-soluble vitamins A, B, D, E, K, omegas, and fatty acids, all of which are highly bioabsorbable.
Contains palmitoleic acid, which has antimicrobial properties.
Golden jojoba oil: Acts as a humectant and emollient that pulls in moisture and locks it into the skin barrier without feeling greasy.
Frankincense: Can soothe irritation, calm redness, even out skin tone, and minimize the appearance of fine lines. Aromatherapy: Inhaling frankincense can promote relaxation, ease stress, and has been shown in trials to reduce anxiety during medical procedures or pain perception during labor.
Myrrh: Traditional and cosmetic uses include fading the appearance of spots, minor scars, and evening out complexion. Myrrh promotes complete re-epithelialization and accelerates the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions by stimulating local blood circulation and immune response.
We render our own tallow. This is the key to our magic formula. Our tallow is rendered by us, by hand and triple filtered to remove impurities and keep the natural odour of the fat to a minimum. We use grass-fed, grass-finished suet from Ontario cattle. The process of just rendering the suet takes over 5 hours.
We hand blend our tallow to perfection and jar it ourselves.
Why Tallow Instead of Plant Based Products?
Tallow is a whole food skin product and it is edible (although our products are for external use only). It is a healthy fat high in several fatty acids, can be used as a healthy fat to cook food and has a high heat point. Your skin recognizes this fat and utilizes it immediately on a cellular level. While we love plants, we believe plant based skincare is simply not sufficient. Many plant based products are highly processed and denatured. Plant-based products can sit on the skin unabsorbed, can dry out the skin, can lead to imbalances or simply do nothing for the skin. Plant bases are usually much cheaper to use which is a big reason why they are ubiquitous amongst skincare.
How to use: Apply a small amount of balm to the skin, including the face or anywhere on the body. Gently rub the cream into the skin until fully absorbed. Reapply as needed. A little goes a long way. This product can be used as an oil cleansing method (OCM) –a system for cleaning pores and purifying the skin.
Getting the most from your jar
Air it out. When your jar arrives, take the lid off and let it breathe for 5–10 minutes.
Patch test. Start with a small amount somewhere less sensitive — the back of your hand is ideal.
Go small. A pea-sized amount covers your whole face. Tallow is concentrated; more isn't better.
Give it 10–15 minutes. That's when it stops sitting on your skin and starts working.
Before using any new cosmetic product, do a patch test: apply a small amount of the product to the skin and leave it on to see how your body responds.

Very nice soap. I bought this for my baby and my husband quickly switched to it as well.
Quick shipping and some extra special samples included with my package. Love supporting a local company! Works wonders on some rough spots from my exercise routine. After trying numerous products, tough dark areas on my knees, elbows and ankles from pilates are quickly disappearing with the Manuka tallow balm!
It works pretty well. My wife and I were surprised with how well it works because we have tried many other deodorants in the natural arena that didn't work so well. I love the fact that it is made from tallow and that what I am applying under my armpit is natural and not harmful for my body.

Thank you so much Traci! I’m so happy you enjoy our lip balms☺️
I love this cream! My baby was 4 months old with baby rash on one side of his cheeks. Nothing seemed to calm it down and whatever I used only made it worse until I tried the emu tallow balm. It only took one day of using it morning and night to see a huge difference! You notice a drastic change, and continuous use of it eventually helped the rash go away!!

We’re so happy to hear, thank you!

And my partner who absolutely dispise any type of fragrances/perfumes does like this one. 😊🥰 I'm so thrilled 😁. I'll definitely order MORE!!!! ♥️
you have dry skin? This one’s for you. You have ezcema? This one’s for you. You have skin problems? This one’s for you. I have severe ezcema and I couldn’t find anything for my skin until I came across this gold. This beef tallow lotion actually changed my life. I 100% recommend this product
Lipidology products have truly changed my life for the better. Thankfully I found this wonderful company and now I’m completely away from putting harsh chemical products on my face and body … products that always came with unrealistic promises and grandeur. Lipidology products are so pure with minimal ingredients that are all healthy while matching what my skin has always needed. I’m beyond grateful that I found Lipidology.
PS: The owners of this company are always so helpful and friendly…
Have only used a few times, absorbs really quickly. No greasy feel. Has a light Buttery scent. Seems to continue to moisturize even after hand washing. I like this product.
I've only been using this product for a few days, but I can already feel that my skin is more soothed. I'm very pleased with the results so far and will definitely purchase it again!
Lipidology Balms are truly amazing. They feel so healthy on my skin … such a contrast to all the face creams I have used through the years containing so many toxic and harmful ingredients. Lipidology Balms only have one side effect … beautiful feeling skin that looks healthy. Customer service at Lipidology is also amazing. Questions are answered in a timely and very polite manner. All and all Lipidology is absolutely the best product I have ever used on my face.
I've now tried the Rose, Manuka, and Emu tallow balms, and I love them all! The products are amazing, but the customer service is what truly sets this company apart. The owner went above and beyond to help with a website issue so my order arrived in time for Father's Day, and she took the time to offer personalized recommendations for my skincare concerns. I'll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend both the products and the company!
I was worried this would be very over powering with the peppermint, but it’s far from that. Same amazing quality as their nude bar soap, but with a subtle soft peppermint scent. Loving it so far :)
Wow, such a good lip balm. It’s smooth. Not sticky. Feels good and moisturizing. No weird tastes or smells. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever tried. The quality of Lipidology products is phenomenal. Please keep it up!!
This is a great product! Ritchie cream that absorbs quick into the skin and makes it smooth and firm.
I’m very happy with this product and will definitely order again.
