Our deepest cleanse for oily, congested skin. The Primal Sweet Orange Charcoal Tallow Soap blends 100% grass-fed beef tallow with activated charcoal and uplifting sweet orange essential oil. Charcoal acts like a magnet, drawing out excess oil, dirt and buildup, so this is the bar to reach for when skin feels oily, congested or blemish-prone and wants a deeper clarifying wash. The tallow keeps it from stripping, so skin is left clean, fresh and balanced, not tight.
Handmade in small batches in the United States, Canada and Australia with 100% natural ingredients and grass-fed tallow from local farmers, then shipped from the one nearest you.
Tallow, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Orange Oil, Activated Charcoal
Sourced from local regenerative farms, our tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, providing deep nourishment and lasting hydration for your skin and lips.
Our 100% cold-pressed organic coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that deeply cleanse, nourish, and protect your skin - no fillers, just pure, creamy lather and lasting hydration in every bar.
Our 100% cold-pressed organic olive oil is a natural moisturizer with antimicrobial properties that soothe and protect your skin & lips—no fillers, just pure nourishment!
100% organic orange essential oil is rich in vitamin C, helps clarify pores, and promotes a healthy, radiant glow.
Activated charcoal works like a magnet, drawing out excess oil, dirt, and impurities from deep within pores for a clarifying, purifying cleanse. It helps balance oily and blemish-prone skin, leaving it feeling fresh, clean, and renewed - without stripping away moisture.
Activated charcoal for a deeper, clarifying clean
Activated charcoal for a deeper, clarifying clean. Charcoal binds to excess oil, dirt and impurities and rinses them away, which is why this bar suits oily, congested or blemish-prone skin. Paired with grass-fed tallow, it purifies without the stripped, tight feeling that harsh detergent bars leave behind.
Bright sweet orange, clean ingredients. A touch of uplifting sweet orange essential oil gives a fresh, citrusy scent, with no synthetic fragrance, sulfates or synthetic additives. Handmade in small batches with a short, readable ingredient list. Use it on face and body wherever skin needs a clarifying refresh.

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.

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.

Made from 100% grass-fed tallow, the Primal Whipped Tallow Balms is all...
Activated charcoal binds to excess oil, dirt and impurities and rinses them away, for a deeper, clarifying clean. It's why this bar suits oily, congested or blemish-prone skin.
Yes, it's our most clarifying bar. Charcoal lifts away buildup while grass-fed tallow keeps it from stripping, so skin feels purified but not tight.
Yes, it's great as a face wash for oily or congested skin. Daily is fine for most people; if your skin feels at all dry, use it every other day and follow with a tallow balm or lotion.
No. Unlike harsh detergent bars, this is cold-process soap that keeps its natural glycerin, and tallow conditions as it cleans, so it clarifies without the stripped, tight feeling.
For most people, no, the opposite. It's a rinse-off cleanser that lifts away the oil and dirt that lead to congestion, so it's a clarifying choice for blemish-prone skin.
A bright, uplifting touch of sweet orange from real essential oil. Our double-purified tallow means no beefy smell, just a fresh citrus scent.
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 560 reviews.

Store owner replied: Thanks, Natalia! Glad you love it. We also improved our labels so they don't get wet with water or other liquids anymore.
I will be 80 next month and my skin has always been dry. Primal keeps my face moisture filled and the lines are less noticeable. I am on my second jar and I have plans to continue usage for a long time.

Tallow Toothpaste (Peppermint)
Store owner replied: Thanks for the video, Valeria! Really glad you’re liking it.
The tallow cream doesn’t leave you feeling all greasy and provides far more moisture than commercial lotion. Tallow soaps leave you feeling clean without all the chemicals in regular soap. I’ve also tried other tallow soaps and only use the Primal now.

It's fluffy and light and spreads thinly, sinking into skin well. The only thing is the smell is a little strong for fave so I ended up using on legs amd chest more. I'm excited to get unscented for my face now! Thank you

I bought this whipped tallow balm for myself, but my husband loved it so much he ended up taking it! He uses it on his face and bald head, and I use it on my face too. It doesn’t make me break out at all and leaves our skin feeling incredibly soft and nourished. We’re both obsessed!

Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing the photo ❤️
Absolutely love this. I will buy again. I also applied it to my son's hand, as you see on the photos he had some dark spots on his fingers. After 5-6 days, they were all gone. Thank you for this miracle balm ❤️

Whipped Tallow Balm For Face & Body - Unscented
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing this with the community ❤️
I’ve been using the tallow face and body balm for several weeks now. For the past couple of winters I’ve had dry cracked and red skin on my left elbow. Since applying the balm on my elbow at night, it has visibly improved. It’s less red, cracked and feels alot smoother which you can see in the photos—top is before and bottom is today. I’m sorry my elbow selfies aren’t very good! It’s hard to take the photo. If you’d like I can ask a friend or family member to take it for me.

I'm a big fan of tallow balms. This one works best. So pleased with the results. My skin loves me and I feel as if I never broke out since the day I started using tallow! Also used it for my eczema and it worked wonders! 10/10

I really like how this moisturizer melts into my skin. I prefer to use it at night but will switch to twice a day in the cooler months. It does a great job at keeping my skin hydrated through the night, Everytime I use it I wake up with glowy dewy skin.
