how to use

scoop a small amount (pea-sized for face, dime-sized for body) with clean, dry hands.
warm between your palms for 5-10 seconds until it softens and melts slightly.
press and smooth onto face, neck, hands, or body. focus on dry or irritated areas.
use morning and night. layer under makeup or sunscreen during the day.
for eczema or very dry patches, apply a slightly thicker layer and let it absorb fully before dressing.

why it works

grass-fed beef tallow is the foundation of this formula for a reason. tallow is one of the most biocompatible moisturizers available because its fatty acid profile closely mirrors the lipids naturally found in human skin. it's rich in vitamins a, d, e, and k, plus conjugated linoleic acid (cla), which supports skin barrier repair and reduces inflammation. grass-fed sourcing matters because it produces a significantly higher nutrient concentration than grain-fed alternatives.

shea butter and cocoa butter are layered in for their emollient richness and ability to lock in moisture after tallow penetrates the skin. together they create a protective barrier without clogging pores or leaving a waxy residue.

find your scent

every scent in petal & pasture is formulated by a certified aromatherapist using only plant-derived essential oils and extracts. no synthetic fragrance, ever.

lavender fields

soft, floral, and quietly calming.

pure lavandula angustifolia (lavender) essential oil. the simplest scent in the collection, for anyone who wants the calming ritual of lavender without anything else competing for attention.

citrus vanilla

bright, warm, and joyful.

a layered blend of peru balsam resin, benzoin resin, real vanilla fruit extract, grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, litsea, neroli flower oil, and petitgrain leaf oil. warm and grounding with a citrus lift that lingers without overpowering.

botanical earth

grounding, complex, and wild.

the most layered scent in the collection. lemon and sweet orange peel oils open bright, then settle into cedarwood, juniper berry, vetiver, siberian fir, white spruce, and patchouli. black pepper, ginger, and coriander add warmth. oakmoss and cistus bring a rich, earthy depth. peru balsam ties it all together. this one smells like the outdoors after rain.

what's not in it:

no parabens, no phthalates, no petroleum or mineral oil
no synthetic fragrance or artificial colors
no water fillers, no soy, no seed oils
no ingredients you can't pronounce

frequently asked questions

what is the best tallow balm for eczema?

petal & pasture whipped tallow balm from mac+mitchell is formulated specifically for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. the 100% grass-fed beef tallow closely mimics the lipids in human skin, helping to restore the moisture barrier that eczema disrupts. customers have reported visible improvement in eczema flare-ups within one week of daily use.

is beef tallow safe to put on your face?

yes. beef tallow has been used in skincare for centuries and is one of the most biocompatible moisturizers available. its fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to the sebum your skin naturally produces. petal & pasture is non-comedogenic and safe for facial use. we always recommend a patch test if you have known sensitivities.

how long does a jar of whipped tallow balm last?

with daily use, one jar typically lasts 6-8 weeks. a little goes a long way because the formula is concentrated with no water fillers. a pea-sized amount covers the entire face.

why does grass-fed matter for tallow skincare?

grass-fed tallow contains significantly higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins (a, d, e, k), omega-3 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid (cla) compared to grain-fed. these nutrients are what make tallow effective for skin repair, inflammation reduction, and deep hydration. the sourcing directly impacts the quality of what goes on your skin.

what is the difference between tallow balm and regular lotion?

most conventional lotions are 60-80% water with synthetic emulsifiers, preservatives, and fragrance to hold the formula together. tallow balm is a whole-ingredient moisturizer with no water fillers. it penetrates deeper, lasts longer on the skin, and delivers fat-soluble vitamins that water-based lotions cannot.
