Does tallow balm have a strong smell?

Question 7

Can tallow balm be used as a moisturizer under makeup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tallow balm can be used as a moisturizer under makeup. Allow it to absorb fully into the skin before applying makeup for best results. If it feels too greasy, try a smaller amount next time. A small amount goes a long way. For best results, apply at night once your makeup is removed.

How should I store tallow balm?

Accepted Answer

Store your tallow balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its quality and consistency. Similar to coconut oil, your balm will melt if it becomes warm. The benefits of the product remain the same, however, the consistency may change. If you want to regain the fluffy texture, allow it to partially harden in a cool place and then whip it with a kitchen mixer before adding back to the jar. You can store your balm in the fridge if your house is too warm.
