Don't sleep on this one, even if you're not a tea tree lover
First off, thanks for offering this lard balm in a small size for trying it out before committing to the larger size!
I've been using tallow based skincare for several years now and had really wanted to try a lard based moisturizer to compare the difference between the two. For reference, I have normal/dry skin with some mild rosacea on my nose and cheeks and occasional hormonal acne along my jaw line. The skin on my face tends to be more finicky than the rest of my body and I've noticed that products with too much beeswax or essential oils will cause redness or breakouts for me. I'm not really a huge fan of tea tree oil either, but I thought this might be a good muscle rub for recovery after big days on the job and I would see how it went as a facial moisturizer.
My face loves this whipped lard balm! The texture is so soft and it soaks right into my skin. I did not find the scent to be overly strong either. I have not experienced any increased redness or breakouts with this. Although I love the vanilla scent of Fat Marshmallow much more, this one just seems to be a better fit for my skin. Thanks again Vellum St. for knocking it out of the park and providing effective ancestral based skincare in such a fun package!
I bought 4 bars of soap and got chapstick, and the lotion. These products are all in my daily routine now. They smell great and last so long! Great products and healthier than what's out there.
Also the owner Mellisa is an awesome person and really takes pride in her work. Great business and products!! Highly recommend to anyone on the fence about purchasing. Well worth it!
This whipped tallow is absolutely incredible- delicate, delicious, and super moisturizing. As a soap/skincare maker myself, I appreciate the simplicity of herbs mixed with vanilla and pure fat but I also understand the process and the passion behind incredible products like this! Hands down the best tallow product I've ever used! Thank you for your love & dedication to the craft.
My hands have been painfully dry this winter. I was thrilled to find this at my favorite hippie store and upon the first application, I have relief!!!! And oh the delectable scent!!!!! Yum!!!!! Thank you!!!!
My cousin showed me this fluff a year ago and I use it every single day. I have terribly sensitive skin; I get rosacea and perioral dermatitis and so I haven't used any skin care for three years... except this stuff! It is truly a godsend. It makes my skin so clear bouncy and soft. I ski a lot and this stuff saves my skin from the dry air!
I picked up some tallow lip balm at a farmers market a few months back and fell in love with this stuff! The tallow I got wasn't available (limited time offer), so I ended up getting this. My skin is so soft, and the smell is delicious. This will be a new staple in my skincare routine.
