Is tallow safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Tallow is structurally similar to the fatty acids in human sebum, which makes it exceptionally compatible with all skin types — including sensitive and reactive skin. Both the Edible Sun Balm and the Moisturising Day Cream contain only food-grade, single-origin tallow alongside minimal, recognisable ingredients. There are no synthetic emulsifiers, fragrances, or preservatives to trigger reactions.
Will my bar arrive melted in summer?
The Edible Sun Balm is formulated with beeswax, which raises its melting point well above typical summer shipping temperatures. It ships in amber glass that insulates against heat spikes. On the warmest days it may soften slightly, but it will firm back up once cooled — and this does not affect potency or performance.

Tallow balm vs tallow lotion — which do I need?
It depends on your day. The Edible Sun Balm is a solid balm with zinc oxide SPF — built for outdoor activity, sun protection, and targeted use on lips and face. The Moisturising Day Cream is a creamy all-over moisturiser that absorbs quickly and sits beautifully under makeup. Many customers use both: the cream as a morning base, the balm for sun protection on outdoor days.
