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.

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.

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!

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!

Whipped Tallow Balm For Face & Body - Lavender
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.

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.

Amazing! I have been using for two weeks on my face and hands and have been getting so many compliments how good my skin looks. Love Love Love!

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
Coline J. 5/5 Verified
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.
Chrissy R. 5/5 Verified
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!
Diana B. 5/5 Verified
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

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.
Rina Ahluwalia | Founder
Our balms are made from 100% natural, grass-fed, and grass-finished tallow to nourish and protect your skin.
100% Grass-fed Grass-finished
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
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
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
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.
