"Been ordering from Alex's lineup for years now. Tried half a dozen of his formulas at this point and never had one that didn't earn its money. Real products, no fluff — that's why I keep coming back."
This isn't your average balm. Crafted with 100% grass fed tallow and raw wildflower honey, our Optimal Human Tallow Balm restores, hydrates, and protects without cheap fillers or synthetic garbage.*
Helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier*
Made with grass-fed tallow and raw wildflower honey
No seed oils, no fragrance fillers, sensitive-skin safe
What is Optimal Human Grass-Fed Tallow Balm With Raw Honey?
This is a 2-ounce, all-purpose skin balm built the old-fashioned way — slow-rendered grass-fed beef tallow blended with raw wildflower honey, cold-pressed jojoba seed oil, and a touch of vanilla and sweet orange peel. Tallow is closer in composition to your own skin's natural oils than almost any plant-based moisturizer, which is why it absorbs cleanly and doesn't sit greasy on top.*
It's a face, hand, body, and lip balm in one jar. Non-comedogenic, free of seed oils, free of synthetic fragrance, and safe for sensitive skin. This is a topical balm — not edible.
How Does This Work?
Grass-fed tallow is rich in the fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) that the skin barrier uses to retain moisture and stay resilient.* Raw wildflower honey adds natural antimicrobial and humectant support, while jojoba oil mimics the skin's own sebum so the balm sinks in instead of clogging pores.* The result is hydration that lasts and a barrier that's better equipped to handle wind, cold, and dry indoor air.*
To use it, scoop a small amount with a clean finger, warm it between your hands, and smooth it onto clean skin. A pea-sized amount goes a long way on the face. For hands, elbows, lips, or rough patches, apply more generously at night so it has time to work.
What Can I Expect?
Real results build gradually — here's the honest timeline.
Week 1–2: Skin feels softer and more comfortable within the first few days — less tightness, less flaking, and rough spots on elbows, knuckles, and lips start to smooth out.*
Weeks 2–6: As the skin barrier rebuilds, dry patches calm, redness from wind and weather settles, and the morning "tight" feeling after washing fades.* Most customers find they reach for fewer products because this one is doing the work of three.
Week 8 and beyond: This is when the barrier-level benefits show — a more even tone, a healthy daily glow, and skin that bounces back faster from heat, cold, and travel.* (As one customer told us, "I finally feel like myself again.")
We recommend a 90-day commitment to feel the full effect.

I've heard about beef tallow from some ranchers out here in Montana. I thought I might purchase plain tallow and use it on my skin but then I saw the beef tallow that you guys are now selling. I love the ingredient's and my face feels great whenever I put it on!

Trenton K.5/5Verified
Ever since the tallow thing got hot on social media my wife has been using it. She’s purchased from several different places and has had mixed reviews. I decided to test Alex's against her other brands. I ordered it and surprised her with it. SHE FRIGGIN’ LOVES IT! She’s on her second bottle. Smooths and lubricates. The honey infusion makes it smell great too. Highly recommend! Patriots need good skin too!

This is a very nice ointment for my dry hands and feet. The fragrance is wonderful and is lasting. I’m very pleased with this purchase and now have it as part of my autoship products.

Love this tallow balm! So pure and natural. I gave a jar to my mother in law to use as facial moisturizer. (And I'm an Avon lady. 🙂) Thanks Alex!
Sandra J.5/5Verified
Primarily using it on my lips to prevent them from drying out and cracking at my factory job.
Smells great and locks in moisture, but doesn't feel thick like most balms.
Corey E.5/5Verified
Helps with my eczema naturally
Louis C.5/5Verified
Smells great and seems to do a wonderful moisturizing job.
Michael M.5/5Verified
Excellent quality and well formulated.
Loren S.5/5Verified
Haven't tried it yet 'cause I first opened another jar, that being the Methylene Blue Tallow Balm. But there's no way AJ would fail a tallow balm... so I'm already leaving 5 stars ;)
I'd like to say though, I doubt his is the best in terms of quality and price! A competitor that also exposes the globalists, though that I won't name, gives me a better bang for my buck (I estimate)
Please consider the recipe they use (unless you're absolutely certain yours is already better in every way):
1. Grass-fed grass-finished beef tallow
2. Organic cold-pressed olive oil
3. Manuka honey
4. Pot marigold flower extract
5. Organic Vitamin E
(6. Lemongrass essential oil)
Raffaele G.5/5Verified

Teresa B.5/5Verified
I have very dry skin on my hard working hands. I really like the smell of the tallow and honey. This is a nice thick hand cream. As I live in Lousiana, I will probably suspend my order in summer. I do not care for the way it melts and re solidifies.
Ella V.5/5Verified
Smells 👍 works well to moisturize my dry skin.
Janes G.5/5Verified
Pleasant feel and scent. Smells like a creamsicle.
