Light mint: real peppermint oil, not artificial flavor.

Why You'll Love This
Gentle, natural cleaning
Gentle, natural cleaning. Calcium carbonate and baking soda work together as mild natural abrasives to help gently lift plaque and surface stains, while nutrient-rich tallow conditions, so your mouth feels clean and smooth, never stripped.
Nutrient-rich, bioavailable ingredients. Made from 100% grass-fed beef tallow, naturally rich in the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K to nourish gums and support a fresh, balanced-feeling mouth. Matcha adds antioxidants and a clean, green freshness, and peppermint essential oil adds a light, natural mint finish.
A short, clean ingredient list. Thickened naturally with xanthan gum and lightly sweetened with monk fruit, this low-foam formula is fluoride-free, SLS-free, and free of synthetic foaming agents and artificial flavors, a fully natural alternative to commercial toothpastes.
An oil-based paste that reacts to heat. Tallow is a natural fat, so this paste behaves like butter: firm when cool, soft or even runny when warm. That's normal, it works the same either way, and it firms back up at room temperature. Store it somewhere cool.
No suds, by design. The foam in regular toothpaste comes from synthetic detergents like SLS. Without them you brush with a smooth paste instead of bubbles, and teeth still come out polished. Customers say it "leaves a clean feeling" and makes teeth "shiny".
A little goes a long way. A small pea-sized amount is all you need, brush gently, rinse, and enjoy a fresh, clean smile powered by nature.
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.

I Made This For Us
Hi, I'm Rina, the founder of The Primal. I created this line because I believe what we put on and in our bodies should be simple, clean, and something I'd happily use with my own family.
Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and gives the paste its smooth, creamy texture. It helps nourish gums and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and conditioned rather than stripped.
Is it safe to put tallow in your mouth?
Yes, it's made from simple, food-grade ingredients. Like any toothpaste it's meant to be spit out, not swallowed, so use a pea-sized amount and supervise young children.
Does it contain fluoride?
No, this is a fluoride-free formula, made for people who prefer a natural, fluoride-free option. It relies on calcium carbonate and baking soda to gently clean and polish, with matcha and peppermint for a fresh finish.
If it's fluoride-free, does it still clean my teeth well?
Yes. It cleans, gently polishes and freshens just like you'd want from a good toothpaste, helping lift plaque and surface stains for a smooth, clean feel. Fluoride is what conventional pastes use for cavity protection, so if that's a priority for you, your dentist is the best person to advise on your routine. Many people choose fluoride-free and pair it with regular brushing, flossing and a mindful diet.
Does it foam like regular toothpaste?
No, and that's by design. It's a smooth, low-foam paste with no synthetic foaming agents like SLS. You still get a clean, fresh feel without the suds.
Why did my toothpaste arrive soft or runny?
It's an oil-based paste made from tallow, a natural fat, so it softens in heat the way butter does. That's normal and it works the same either way. Leave it at room temperature or somewhere cool and it firms back up.
What does it taste like?
A clean, light peppermint finish from a real essential-oil blend, lightly sweetened with monk fruit. No artificial flavors or sweeteners.
How do calcium carbonate and baking soda work?
They act as gentle, natural polishers that help lift plaque and surface stains without being harsh on enamel, so teeth feel smooth and clean.
Will it whiten my teeth?
It isn't a chemical whitener, but the gentle polishing action helps lift everyday surface stains, so with regular brushing many people notice a cleaner, brighter-looking smile.
How much should I use, and is it okay for kids?
A small pea-sized amount is all you need, brush gently and rinse. It's fine for the family, but as with any toothpaste, have children spit it out and supervise younger ones.
What is the tube made of?
A sugarcane-based tube, not a petroleum-based one. The sugarcane resin replaces the fossil plastic without changing how the tube works. Squeeze it flat when it's empty and check your local recycling rules for soft plastics.

Great product. Soothes the skin and doesn't feel greasy or pasty after applied. Smells great as well. Wish I had discovered it ages ago.
Store owner replied:
Thanks David, so glad you’re loving the lotion! Also, that coffee setup in your video has us all craving a cappuccino now ☕
The first time I tried this and man I'm glad I did. Keeps my skin silky smooth and is not greasy. I love that it is grass-fed grass finish and handcrafted. Quality ingredients and great results!
Store owner replied:
Thanks, Lauren! So glad you gave it a try.
I have been using the face and body balm for a couple months now and I love how it absorbs into my skin and does not leave my skin feeling greasy as some brands do.
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.
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.
Store owner replied:
Thanks, Daniel! Really glad you love them.
Love it! I’ve had it for three weeks and use it every day. I can already tell it’s going to last me for months. I love that it not only keeps my lips hydrated, but I’m also getting vitamins A, D, E, and K!
This is my 3rd jar, and they last a very long time. Love this clean product. It blends into my skin beautifully and I get compliments about how good my skin looks all the time.
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’m 61 I have super sensitive skin in addition to an auto immune that causes my body to react to many environmental, food and body care. This tallow feels wonderful on my skin
I started using this for my hair this month and I can’t believe how clean and great my hair looks and feels! Love this product and will continue to use it!
The face and body balm is so luxurious! I have the lavender scent. I absolutely love it! It is by far the best cream/lotion for my skin. My skin feels soft after using it and it lasts much longer than other products.
I have only had it for a few days but I have had no problem with my sensitive skin and its light but moisturizes my skin all day long which is way more than my previous face cream.
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!
Absolutely love these balms! This is my 3rd order, so decided to stock up for winter. The balm is very nourishing, high-quality and comes in lovely boxes. Highly recommend primal balms!

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 ❤️
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.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Sally. Our balms are made of 100% grass-finished tallow from Alberta, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K to promote skin healing. Thank you for sharing this.
Took me 2 months to finish this 😍! I love this stuff! It smells great and is not greasy. I use it on my face and It makes my skin feel healthy and hydrated with no irritation or toxins. I love the whipped texture as well. You only need to use a little bit, so I know the jar will go a long way! Thank you
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.
