Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in vitamin A, the same vitamin retinol comes from. Buy the Gua Sha, get the $35 Steel Roller free: $110 value, yours for $75, plus a free spoon applicator, a free travel bag and free shipping.
WHAT YOU’LL NOTICE
Softer-feeling skin by morning
Comfort for dry, tight skin
No heavy beefy smell
Melts in, no greasy coat
A calmer, de-puffed look
Face, hands and body
WHY THIS WORKS WHEN RETINOL DIDN’T
Tallow is naturally rich in vitamin A. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble, and tallow carries them in skin-compatible fats your skin recognizes. If retinol left you red and flaky, this is the gentler, natural route.

THE NATURAL RETINOL ALTERNATIVE
The natural retinol alternative.
Retinol works. So does this. The difference is what you don’t have to go through to get there.
Vitamin A, naturally. Grass-fed tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K.
No prescription, no adjustment period to push through.
Designed for dry, reactive and sensitive skin.
Triple-rendered, so there’s no beefy smell.
Here’s what you’ll notice first.
Small things, the first night you use it.
+It melts. A fingertip of balm turns soft and silky as it warms.
+It spreads further than you expect. A little covers face and neck.
+The Gua Sha glides instead of dragging.
+By morning, dry and tight spots feel soft and comfortable.
The payoff, minus the adjustment period.
Skin that feels comfortable again
Tallow is rich in skin-compatible lipids. With emu oil and mango butter, it helps seal in moisture so dry, tight skin feels soft by morning.
Dry spots, handled
One jar for cracked knuckles, elbows, knees and winter-dry patches. Clean hands for the body, tools for the face.
A calmer, de-puffed look
The Steel Roller is naturally cool. Light outward passes help de-puff and refresh, no fridge needed.
A more sculpted-looking jaw
Slow, nearly flat Gua Sha strokes release the look of tension along the jaw and cheekbones.

You want fewer products
ONE JAR, TWO TOOLS
One kit does the job.
If any of that sounded like you, this is the kit.
Seals in moisture overnight
Tallow, mango butter and emu oil form a soft, breathable layer that helps keep skin comfortably hydrated while you sleep.
Softens rough, dry patches
A rich, cushiony balm that helps soften the feel of rough texture on hands, elbows and knees.
Supports the skin barrier
Skin-compatible lipids help replenish a barrier that feels dry, tight or depleted.
Comfort for tight skin
Warm a small amount between fingertips and press in. It melts, spreads and settles into a soft finish.
Held nearly flat
Slow strokes from the center of the face outward, along the jaw and under the cheekbones.
Releases the look of tension
Gentle, controlled pressure helps the face look more relaxed and sculpted.
304-grade stainless steel
Non-porous, easy to clean, and heavy enough to do the work for you.
Glides on balm, never on dry skin
A thin layer of balm gives the steel the slip it needs.
Naturally cool steel
No fridge needed. The steel stays cool against warm skin.
Large end: cheeks, jaw, neck
Light, outward passes for a fresher, de-puffed look.
Small end: under the eyes
Targeted passes around the eye area.
The last step of the night
A quick, cooling reset before bed.
WHAT WE LEFT OUT, AND WHY
8
listed ingredients.
Every one has a job.
Every ingredient we didn’t use was a decision, not an oversight.
Here’s what shows up in a lot of night creams and body lotions, why it’s there, and what we use instead.
01
Synthetic fragrance
FOUND IN · lotions · body butter · night cream
One word on a label can cover a whole blend.
Why it’s common
It makes a product smell the same every time.
What we use instead
Grapefruit and rosemary oils give a light natural aroma that fades after you apply it.
02
Petroleum
FOUND IN · slugging jelly · ointments · lip balm
A cheap, heavy seal that sits on top of skin.
Why it’s common
It’s inexpensive and very good at blocking water loss.
What we use instead
Tallow, mango butter and emu oil seal in moisture and melt in, petroleum-free.
03
Water
FOUND IN · lotions · creams · gel moisturizers
Usually the first ingredient, and it dilutes everything after it.
Why it’s common
It’s cheap and makes a formula feel light.
What we use instead
No water. Every scoop is concentrated balm, so a little goes further.
04
Parabens
FOUND IN · lotions · creams · cleansers
Preservatives that keep water-based formulas stable on the shelf.
Why it’s common
Water-based products need them to last.
What we use instead
No water means no need for them. Vitamin E supports the formula.
05
Phthalates
FOUND IN · fragrance · lotions · hair products
Often used to make a scent last longer.
Why it’s common
They help fragrance linger.
What we use instead
No synthetic fragrance, no phthalates.
06
Silicones
FOUND IN · primers · moisturizers · serums
An instant slick feel on top of skin.
Why it’s common
They make a product feel silky right away.
What we use instead
The slip comes from real lipids, which is exactly what the Gua Sha glides on.
You came looking for tallow that works without the downsides. Eight ingredients. Nothing your skin has to fight.

INSIDE THE JAR
Four ingredients doing the heavy lifting.
Full list: grass-fed tallow, emu oil, mango butter, sea buckthorn, sunflower, vitamin E, grapefruit, rosemary.
THE NIGHT RITUAL
Warm. Sculpt. Cool. Then let the balm do the overnight work.
Use on clean, slightly damp skin as the last step of your evening routine.
01
Warm
Warm a small amount of Face + Body Balm between fingertips until it melts. Press into clean, slightly damp skin, adding more only to dry or tight areas.
02
Sculpt
Keep the Gua Sha nearly flat and use slow, gentle strokes from the center of the face outward. Add a touch more balm if the tool begins to pull.
03
Cool
Finish with the Steel Roller using light, outward passes. The naturally cool steel turns the last step into an easy nighttime reset.
Beyond the face: press the Balm into cracked knuckles, elbows, winter-dry patches or freshly shaved skin. Keep the tools for face and neck.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked, honestly answered.
Still unsure? Chat with us, bottom right.
Does it smell like beef fat?
No. TALOVA uses a triple-rendered tallow base for a neutral scent. You may notice a light botanical aroma from ingredients such as grapefruit and rosemary, but not a heavy beefy smell.
Will it feel greasy?
It is rich by design, but application matters. Warm a small amount between fingertips, press it into slightly damp skin and add more only where needed. Used this way, it should feel nourished, not coated.
Will tallow clog my pores?
No balm behaves identically on every skin type. TALOVA’s formula is designed to melt and absorb rather than sit like a heavy wax. If you are breakout-prone, patch-test first and begin with a very small amount.
Does it contain retinol?
No. Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in vitamin A, the vitamin retinol is made from, alongside vitamins D, E and K. There’s no synthetic retinol in the jar. If you already use retinol, it also works as a comforting layer on your nights off.
Is this a replacement for petroleum slugging?
It is a petroleum-free way to finish a nighttime routine and seal in moisture. Use a thin layer as your final step rather than piling it over already heavy products.
Can I use it after shaving?
Yes. Press a small amount onto clean, slightly damp skin after shaving. Avoid freshly nicked or broken skin, and patch-test if you are sensitive to essential oils.
How do the free gifts work?
The Steel Roller, spoon applicator and travel bag are added to your cart automatically with the kit. No code needed. One-time purchase, doesn’t combine with other discounts. While supplies last.

FILTER BY TOPIC
“Excellent Face + Body Balm. Simple, Effective, and Smells Amazing”
It’s super moisturizing without feeling greasy, which is usually my biggest issue with balms. A little goes a long way, and it soaks in nicely instead of just sitting on top of your skin.

“TALOVA Face & Body Balm”
I like it as a facial moisturizer at night rather than in the daytime, because it does leave an oily sheen. In the morning after using it my face feels really soft.
Shelby
Verified Amazon review · Face + Body Balm
“Skincare Essential Item”
I was looking for a high-end tallow-based balm with a light scent. This meets all my needs. Don’t see myself switching to any other face balm after trying this one.

“Amazing!”
It’s amazing for my dry, sensitive skin. Great for cracked skin and keeps my skin soft all day.

“Most gua shas are lightweight”
Most gua shas are lightweight and are cheap. This one is perfect for applying product because it is heavy enough to make a difference.
