The brightening, clarifying bar for hair and skin. The Primal Turmeric Tallow Shampoo & Body Wash Bar is made with 100% grass-fed beef tallow and organic turmeric, long loved for brightening the look of dull skin and refreshing the scalp. It gently cleanses and clarifies hair without the stripped, squeaky feel of detergent shampoo, doubles as a body wash, and is a great pick if your scalp feels flaky or congested, or your skin looks dull. Sulfate-free and gentle enough for regular use, head to toe.

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!

My skin eats better than most people - these products are basically bougie steak fat for your face, and my skin is obsessed!

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 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.
Organic turmeric is loved for its brightening, clarifying qualities, so this bar leaves hair and skin feeling fresh and balanced. Paired with grass-fed tallow, it clarifies without stripping.
Does it work as both a shampoo and a body wash?
Yes, one bar cleans from scalp to toes. Tallow cleanses without stripping your natural oils, so you can wash hair and body with a single product.
Will the turmeric stain my skin or hair?
No. We use a balanced amount of turmeric in a rinse-off bar, so with normal use it cleans away without staining your skin, hair or tub. Just rinse as usual.
Is there an adjustment period?
There can be. Switching from conventional shampoo, your scalp may take a week or two to rebalance as built-up product clears. The conditioning tallow base tends to make the transition gentler than a stripping bar.
Is it good for a dry or flaky scalp?
Yes. Tallow is close to your scalp's own oils so it cleans without stripping, and many people find it soothing for a dry, flaky scalp while turmeric leaves things feeling fresh.
Do I still need conditioner?
Many people use less, since tallow conditions as it cleans. Longer or drier hair may still like a light conditioner or a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse, especially at first.

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 ❤️

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.

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.
I was a bit skeptical with this just being any other soap. Let me tell you, this soap does makes your skin less dry and keeps you clean. This is my second order from here. Love the natural sea salt most. Simple clean ingredients
It is very moisturizing, yet soaks in quickly. Scent is pleasant. Before this I used to buy other brands, they all had a strong tallow smell. this one by far is the best I have used in the past 5 years. Also I am sure it has a better tallow as this balm lasts a long time. A little goes a long way. I hope they do not increase their price over the coming years.
First time trying this product as I've heard so much of it's benefits and I must say it truly is what people have been raving about. It leaves my skin feeling so soft for over 8-10 hours!!! I love that it's natural and I can also use it on my toddlers! Great product! Although it is called a lip balm, I use it for my lips and hands!
I have been using this product exclusively for my moisturizer for the past few weeks. At 45, my skin is nice and soft. I have always had more oily skin and this has been great for it, I don't find it clogs my pores and my skin just soaks it in
I love this product. I have only used it for a few weeks and it is like my skin craves it each day. I have noticed my skin is more radiant, smoothed my lines and my face glows. Very happy and will be using this for years to come. Love the unscented version more.
I have been using the whipped beef tallow balm for over 2 weeks, twice daily, and I love it. I have sensitive skin and dry weather makes matters worse, to the point where I get rashes on my face after showers. This balm is one of the only ones that calms my skin. It leave it soft and hydrated, but not greasy. I like the smell and that it does not soak in and disappear right away.
