Not all tallow balms are created equal.

Not all tallow balms are created equal. You could be paying a premium for products that are packed with added, and sometimes even untraceable, ingredients from who-knows-where! And you could also be paying for AIR! When we melt that fluffy, whipped tallow balm down, you'll notice some of it vanishes into thin air. Literally.
Don't let clever marketing be what makes you click "buy" – let it be a great product.
#1 - TRANSPARENCY VS. LIMITED INFORMATION
Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm ingredients can be traced all the way to their sources. It's made from suet from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished, humanely raised cows and contains genuine, certified organic olive oil.
Check the website of the tallow balms of your choice and see what real information you can find. I dare you! If you want quality, then you want to know what's actually going on behind the scenes.Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm is carefully sourced, it's made of high-quality beef fat, and they disclose literally everything.
#2 - FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED VS. MASS PRODUCED
Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm is not mass-produced or made in a factory. They carefully curate each and every jar in small batches, in house, in Colorado. The balms that are factory-made have to have their goodness refined out of them in order to be uniform and predictable. And manufacturers of mass-produced products have to use cleaning chemicals in their equipment, which then gets into the tallow balm, and eventually, absorbed right into your skin.
#3 - FIRM & THICK vs. WHIPPED (AIR ADDED)
Other brands are super soft and fluffy because the tallow balm is whipped. Whipping promotes rancidity and decreases the product's shelf life.
Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm is so much firmer and thicker. This means it's got high levels of saturated beef tallow, which is best for the skin and the most nutrient-dense. A little goes a long way, and it's still easy to spread thanks to the company's chemical-free curating process!
#4 - SIMPLE INGREDIENTS VS. ADDED INGREDIENTS
Most olive oils are actually fake or adulterated with seed oils. Some olives aren't organic. Vintage Tradition's olive oil is 100% genuine and pure, certified organic, and highly therapeutic.
And as for extra ingredients like honey and beeswax and more, it's just a bunch of added fillers and bulking agents possibly masking a low-quality tallow. Honey is just as sketchy as olive oil. Did you know that most honey is fake or adulterated and also that hardly any beekeepers use a chemical-free approach to honey production? See other brands' websites to see if they have any information! (They don't.)
#5 - SATURATED COLOR VS. PALE COLOR
Check out Vintage Tradition Tallow Balm's rich, golden color compared to this other brand's pale white color. The deeper the color, the more saturated and higher quality the balm.
#6 - NON-GREASY VS. GREASY
Some companies add too much oil, and you're getting less tallow and a greasier texture when their low-quality tallow is already greasy to begin with.
#7 - CLEAN VS. MESSY
One brand (which has added castor oil) balm exploded into a big goopy mess.
Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm is practically spill-proof! It's a small benefit but worth mentioning!
#8 – ACCURATE LABELS VS. MISLEADING LABELS
Other brands, after being melted and re-solidified overnight are still extremely soft and pale in color, meaning less therapeutic and lacking in quality. Why bother whipping it at all?
#9 – PLEASANT SMELL/NO SMELL VS. BEEFY SMELL
No matter how you slice it, if you use a product like Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm that has high-quality tallow, you will get a very subtle beef-like scent. You WANT that subtle smell to know it's authentic and therapeutic. Other companies are simply buying tallow on the market, and the fat may undergo the industrial process of pulverization, steam-heating, refining, bleaching, and deodorizing, complete with chemical preservatives. This process could be why some brands' tallow balms are so white in color.
Vintage Tradition has their Totally Unscented version plus many scented versions with genuine essential oils to fit your personal taste...or smell. Plus, they are actually good for your skin health as well as whole body health. No one else would even dream of using these genuine, therapeutic, and expensive essential oils in their products.
And #10 - I JUST LOVE THIS COMPANY.
Vintage Tradition's Tallow Balm is the original tallow balm creator that even coined the term "tallow balm" before it was "trendy" and "cool". They are transparent, tried, and true and have their products dialed. Plus they have three different sized products to choose from, a small sample size, to make sure you love it before you make the investment, which you will, a 2-oz, and a 9-oz!
