Loved By Our Community
Dr Elizabeth Bright: As a doctor, I avoid commercial skincare, but The Primal cream and soap are different - just a few clean, trusted ingredients. It’s luxuriously smooth with a refreshing cedarwood tingle, and it’s now my go-to after mornings in the sun.
Dr Robert Kiltz: I love it! Another 100% clean product to add to my list!
Courtney Luna: My skin eats better than most people - these products are basically bougie steak fat for your face, and my skin is obsessed!
Maria Emmerich: Living on the beach is awesome but it can be hard on your skin! My boys and I love to spend our days in the ocean but afterwards their ashy skin would get irritated and painful to moisturizers. Even the “natural” lotions would cause irritation on their sensitive skin. That’s why when I found The Primal tallow based body balm, I was so happy! My boys finally didn’t fight me when I had them apply lotion after swimming! The Primal has been a game changer for my boys sensitive skin!
Jenny Mitich: I am very picky about what I put on my skin, and The Primal’s tallow products have become an absolute staple for me. They’re simple, nourishing, incredibly moisturizing, and they leave my skin feeling soft without all the junk I try to avoid. I genuinely love having a skincare option that feels this clean, ancestral, and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as your whipped tallow balm?
Same grass-fed tallow base, just made firm for lips rather than whipped. It stays solid and travel-ready and sinks into delicate lip skin to soften and protect.
Can I use it anywhere besides my lips?
Yes, it's basically a little tallow balm in lip form. Dab it on cuticles, dry knuckles or any small rough patch that needs moisture.
What does it smell like?
Fresh, clean lemongrass with woody cedarwood, from real essential oils. Our double-purified tallow means no beefy smell, just a crisp, energizing scent that's never overpowering.
Does tallow really help dry, chapped lips?
It does. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and close to your skin's own oils, tallow soaks into chapped lips to soften them and forms a protective barrier against dryness.
Is the ingredient list really this short?
Yes, just grass-fed tallow, organic olive and jojoba oils, and lemongrass and cedarwood essential oils. No synthetic fragrance, no synthetic additives, nothing you can't pronounce.
I Made This Primal Tallow Balm For Us
Hi, I’m Rina, the founder of The Primal Tallow Balms and Soaps. I created this skincare line because I believe what we put on our skin should be as pure as what we eat.
My journey started with healing through nutrient-dense food, and it led me to skincare—because our skin absorbs everything. That’s why we use only 100% grass-fed, finished tallow, sourced from local farmers, to craft clean, deeply nourishing products without any harmful chemicals.
This isn’t just skincare—it’s a return to nature, to real ingredients that truly heal. I’m beyond excited to share this with you and to grow this movement of people who care about what they put on their skin.

How The Primal Tallow Balm Boosts Skin Health
100% Grass-fed Grass-finished
Tallow
At The Primal, we use only grass-fed, grass-finished tallow in our products because it’s the purest and most nutrient-dense option for skin health. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, it deeply hydrates, soothes inflammation, and supports skin regeneration. Unlike conventional tallow, grass-fed tallow contains 3x more antioxidants and 500% more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which fights free radicals, prevents wrinkles, and boosts collagen. Biocompatible and free from harmful chemicals, The Primal Tallow Balm is easily absorbed, making it the ultimate natural skincare solution.
Cold-Pressed Organic
Olive Oil
We use only 100% organic, cold-pressed olive oil in The Primal Tallow Balms to ensure the purest and most effective skincare. Used for centuries, olive oil hydrates the skin, supports the skin barrier, and soothes irritation, helping dry, sensitive, or reactive skin. Rich in polyphenols and vitamin E, it prevents oxidative stress, reducing fine lines and improving skin elasticity. Combined with The Primal grass-fed, grass-finished tallow, it enhances hydration and resilience, creating the ultimate nourishing balm for healthy, radiant skin.
100% Organic
Jojoba Oil
100% organic Jojoba oil enhances The Primal Tallow Balms by mimicking the skin’s natural sebum, helping to balance moisture levels for all skin types. It hydrates without clogging pores, regulates oil production, and supports acne-prone skin. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, jojoba oil boosts elasticity and repairs the skin. With vitamin E to protect against oxidative damage and anti-inflammatory properties to calm irritation, it works synergistically with tallow to nourish and restore healthy, radiant skin.
Optional Organic
Essential Oils
Each of The Primal Tallow Balms is carefully formulated with specific essential oils to offer unique skin benefits and a natural, pleasant aroma.
Unscented Balm: This balm contains pure tallow to hydrate and soothe without added essential oils, which is perfect for all skin types.
Lavender + Frankincense Balm: Lavender calms irritation and reduces inflammation, while frankincense rejuvenates the skin, reducing wrinkles, scars, and blemishes.
Lemongrass + Cedarwood Balm: Lemongrass tightens pores and offers antibacterial benefits, while cedarwood helps regulate oil production and reduces acne with its antifungal effects.
