TALLOW BALM SKIN CARE
Whole-body natural skin care for face, lips, hands, feet, and body. The purest, most natural ingredients of any skincare product (see organic Product FAQ). For healthy skin. For great-looking skin. For all manner of skin conditions. Our Tallow Balm is soft, spreadable, and easy to use. It is paleo-friendly skin care.
This is how people cared for their skin before chemicals. This is "The Whole Food of Skin Care". There is nothing else like it on the market. In fact, we invented the term, "Tallow Balm". People also call it tallow cream, tallow salve, and tallow lotion. Our Tallow Balm has only whole-food ingredients, all selected from the finest sources to ensure its superior therapeutic quality. It is chemical-free and GMO-free with nothing unnatural. Don't put anything on your body that you wouldn't put in your body! If other skincare products have failed you, you owe it to yourself to try Vintage Tradition!
Simply rub in well. Keep tightly capped and at room temperature. A little goes a long way, so a jar lasts an incredibly long time. It does not result in a greasy look or feel because it is readily absorbed as nourishment. (continued...)

FACE SERUM - GEL SERUM
The ingredients in all other face serums are either chemically synthesized or chemically refined to the point that they are no longer in their whole-food matrix and beneficial to the skin. These chemical processes can also leave toxic residues in the product that aren't even listed in the ingredients. Our face serums contain many of the same ingredients of much more expensive products but in their naturally occurring, whole-food form. Like our Tallow Balm, this whole-food face serum can be applied even on the eyelids, not limited to around the eyes like with chemical products.
Ingredients:
Green Pasture® Oils (Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Fermented Skate Liver Oil, Concentrated Butter Oil).
Tallow from 100% grass-fed cows.
Therapeutic-grade essential oils.Our face serums are very moisturizing, so they can actually replace our Tallow Balm on your face and neck, but feel free to experiment. You can always apply Tallow Balm as well afterwards if you feel like your skin needs a little extra help.

DEODORANT TALLOW BALM
Our natural Deodorant Tallow Balm has the exact same whole-food ingredients as our Tallow Balm but with carefully chosen essential oils to make it an even better natural deodorant. It is a paleo-friendly deodorant.
The longer you use it, the better it works. It has a cumulative effect! Rub in well. A little goes a long way, so a jar lasts an incredibly long time. It is readily absorbed and doesn't just sit on top of the skin, so one application can last more than just a day! Unlike with other deodorant formulations, any left on your hands can be applied anywhere. Just rub your hands together, and nothing goes to waste!
Our natural Deodorant Tallow Balm has only three whole-food ingredients, all selected from the finest sources to ensure its superior therapeutic quality, with no chemicals, no GMO's, and nothing unnatural. It is an aluminum-free deodorant.
One of the naturally occurring oils in tallow, palmitoleic acid, has natural antimicrobial properties, which helps fight odor-causing bacteria, and the added essential oils increase the protection against odor.
-
TALLOW LIP BALM
Our Tallow Lip Balm has the exact same whole-food ingredients as our Tallow Balm.
Use on lips or anywhere! Convenient for on-the-go use, especially as a soothing natural lip balm for dry, chapped, and cracked lips, providing ultimate moisturizing.
A great value! More than 3 times the amount of balm of regular plastic tubes*, fewer applications needed, and much less needed per application, so one tube lasts an incredibly long time!
Environmentally friendly, sturdy paperboard tube made from recycled paper with virgin-paper inner lining (so Tallow Balm doesn't come into contact with recycled paper).
*(Plastic, petrochemical tubes are not good for the environment or for your lips and skin, especially when hot balm has been poured into them.)

BALM SOAP
We weren't able to find another soap that had ingredients that were up to our standards, so we decided to make one ourselves out of the exact same ingredients that we use for our Tallow Balms. Stop buying wasteful (and toxic) plastic pump bottles and discover the beauty of real soap!
"Balm" is in the name of our amazing bar soaps because they actually soothe and nourish your skin instead of drying it out like other soaps that strip the skin of beneficial oils.
Welcome to Vintage Tradition
Little did we know that a trip to a farm in Mexico would lead us to embark on another journey, one to discover a practical solution to the modern skin care dilemma, a solution consistent with the true principles of nutrition and health. This journey led to the discovery of what people used for skin care before the introduction of man-made chemicals as well as the science behind the traditional wisdom.
Due to the lack of any product on the market that fit the ideal for healthy and effective skin care, we were prompted to create a formula that we could use and share with others, a simple recipe for traditional nourishing and healing skin care.

Helped my skin issues so much!
I've seen some pretty great results from this product and it's the first time I've ever used tallow. I've had severe cystic acne for years and was recently put on tretinoin for my skin, but I try to avoid prescriptions at all costs because of what they do to your health. I found vintage traditions pretty girly tallow balm and haven't used my prescription in 2 weeks. I've had some acne here and there, but nothing that I can't handle- way better than before. Plus my face is so incredibly smooth and the creeping under my eyes has diminished. For the record, I've tried most other acne products outside of a silk pillow. I would highly recommend this to anyone having skin issues wanting a more natural approach. -
INCREDIBLE!
I have had dry painful cracking skin on my hands for decades. I've tried everything, consulted dermatologists, and nothing has ever made any improvement. Covid & incessant handwashing made the problem even worse. Then I found Vintage Tradition tallow balm. UNREAL! THE RELIEF WAS INSTANT and even more important - the relief has been LONG LASTING! I use it at night and in the morning and VOILA, the skin on my hands is healthy and smooth. At first i wasnt sure it was real... but finally, this problem has been solved & I will NEVER, EVER be without it again! Ever! I love Embrace and Pretty Girl scents, but Lavender Fields is my absolute favorite. I am beyond thankful that I found Vintage Tradition tallow balm, & I cannot recommend it enough! THANK YOU VINTAGE TRADITION! -
So good for my skin!
I have very sensitive skin and normal icy hot irritates my skin so much and this tallow is perfect it helps my pain and is good for my skin! -
Great improvement
I have rosacea and tried everything for my skin. This [Epic Glow Tallow Balm] works! I am in my 3rd month of use and my redness has greatly reduced along with my bumps. I would highly recommend! -
I will never use anything else on my face!
I am a long time fan of Vintage Tradition Tallow Balm, especially the Epic Glow for my face. However, when I began using the Gel Serums, my skin found a deep healing. I had several ingrown hairs that looked like scars and was unable to do anything about them. Within a very short period of using the Gel Serums, the hairs came to the surface and since then the scars have healed. I had other blemishes come to the surface and heal, as well. These Serums are so healing for the skin! I have developed a deep rosy glow and people comment on how young I look. I'm almost 50! The scent is a bit strong at first, but now I don't even notice it. My skin drinks these serums in and work wonderfully when I use it with my gua sha. I've been searching for a long time for an animal fats facial moisturizer and I have finally found something I trust and my skin greatly benefits from. Thank you Vintage Tradition for creating the product my body was screaming for! -
New Category King
This [Gel Serum] is easily better than store bought synthetics of similar or higher price. The regular tallow balm from VT are excellent (especially Epic Glow) but this is definitely the premium product in their line-up. It is much less solid than the regular tallow as the ratio of oils vs tallow is greater. This means it is easier to apply, but this also means there is more smell from the oils. The smell will be off-putting for some. It smells like Epic Glow but stronger (kind of a cod liver smell). Please be aware of this, but note that the smell wears off quickly (at least to my nose). Sometimes I use the serum under my eyes, but regular tallow balm on the rest of my face. Certainly effective at healing and restoring skin. Perhaps one of the best products in this niche. The only competition is the other tallow products from VT. -
So far this has been amazing!
I've been using this product for about a month and am very impressed. I have had cystic acne and numerous red spots that have plagued me for years. Someone mentioned they used tallow balm for skin issues such as these so I figured I'd give it a try. I have no more cysts growing and my skin is already starting to look so much better. Hoping to go for a no makeup look very soon! The product is thick and goes a long way and is not greasy as long as you massage it in well. I use in the evening after I've cleansed my skin and massage into my face/neck/and chest. I'm really liking this product. And it's all natural and smells wonderful! -
Keeps me very soft and clean!
This is my favorite soap! I use it everyday for my body and face! The ingredients are clean and it keeps me clean and skin so soft. I will never go bath to any other soap! Thank you Vintage Traditions for offering this! -
Best Deodorant!!!
I started breaking out with every deodorant I would try until I came across this!! Best my underarms have felt and looked in awhile!! -
Quality Product
I really love the smell of this deodorant, the essential oils used in this product aid in regulating BO. Prior to this purchase i had a hard time finding a quality deodorant like this. i head alot of the benefits of tallow so I came across this one. I wanted to detox my armpits and it was a hard journey because I was very self conscious about sweat and BO. At first it did take some time for the detox but after 2 weeks of using this product I realized that the smell wasn't so bad anymore and my armpits lighten in color. Of course diet is the main factor of BO but this product aids in regulating it. Highly recommend this product if you are looking to do the same.
