LITTLE VALLEY TALLOW Skincare Co.
A nourishing lip balm made with grass-fed tallow, plant oils, and a touch of beeswax to soften, protect, and comfort dry lips.
This balm glides on smoothly and provides lasting moisture without feeling heavy or waxy. Suitable for adults and children, it’s a simple everyday lip balm for the whole family. Apply as needed to dry or chapped lips.
Grass-fed tallow closely mimics the lips’ natural oils, helping repair dryness and support the delicate skin barrier.
Cacao butter or mango butter add softness and nourishment, while castor oil, olive oil, and raspberry seed oil help lock in moisture and protect against environmental dryness.
Beeswax creates a breathable protective layer that helps prevent moisture loss without feeling stiff or heavy.

Cacao – Naturally comforting with a soft cocoa note
Peppermint & Cacao – Cooling and refreshing with gentle mint
Sweet Orange & Cacao – Lightly sweet and citrus-kissed

sorry. i didn’t enjoy it. does not feel or smell good. love the tallow though
Hi Lynn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — I’m truly sorry to hear this wasn’t the experience you were hoping for.
Our tallow lip balm is made with minimal, natural ingredients and has several options to choose from. The plain Cacao has a naturally mild tallow scent and texture, which can feel different from conventional lip balms. While many customers love this, we understand it’s not for everyone.
I'd genuinely love the opportunity to make this right or help you find something that better suits your preferences. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at littlevalleytallow@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help.
Thank you again for giving our product a try.

Used to purchase this, now it's to expensive.
Hi Cheryl, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
When I first introduced the lip balms, they were intentionally underpriced while I was getting started. As ingredient, packaging, and production costs increased, I adjusted the price to reflect the true cost of making a small-batch lip balm using grass-fed tallow and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Even with this change, I’ve worked hard to keep pricing accessible and below many comparable tallow-based products, while maintaining quality and sustainability. I truly appreciate your past support and your honesty.

Iv ordered this lip balm to replenish what I got at a market! My husband and kids ask for it all the time! Would love to have a minty version!
Sara! I am so glad you all love the lip balm!!! Good news! I soon will have a Wintergreen Lip Balm
Thank you so much for your kind words and support
I like it in general, however, I have a problem with my lips peeling, they are not chapped nor have I been in the sun... the balm is not helping, however, at this time nothing seems to heal them.. I am using organic honey at the moment we will see if that helps. Thanks the balm will be fine when I am over this new lip problem.
Hi Doreen!
I am so sorry you are struggling with such dry lips. The weather here does not help at all either. It could be an internal issue causing the dryness. I do hope you find a solution and that your lip balm helps in the process.
The lip balm was nice smelling and made my lips feel so soft! 10/10!
Jody! I am so glad you are loving your lip balm The winter weather can definitely be super dry!
FAQ
What is tallow skincare?
Tallow is a traditional skincare ingredient made from rendered beef fat. Its composition is remarkably similar to our skin’s natural oils, called sebum, which allows it to absorb easily and support the skin barrier rather than disrupt it.
Why do you use grass-fed, grass-finished tallow?
I use grass-fed, grass-finished beef suet (kidney fat only) because it is the purest and most nutrient-rich form of tallow. It comes from healthy cows and is free from antibiotics and hormones, resulting in a cleaner, higher-quality skincare product.
Are your products safe for babies and children?
Yes. Many of my products — especially Unscented — are gentle enough for babies and children. If you’re unsure, I always recommend starting with an unscented option and doing a small patch test first.
Can tallow clog pores?
Tallow is non-comedogenic for most people and closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. Many customers with acne-prone or sensitive skin find tallow helps calm and balance their skin rather than clogging it.
What does tallow smell like?
Tallow has a very mild, natural scent. Essential oils are added to select products intentionally and gently for additional benefit, and add additional scent, not to overpower it. Unscented products contain no essential oils and retain a soft, natural aroma from the ingredients.
Do your products contain fragrance or synthetic ingredients?
No.
All products are free from:
• Synthetic or artificial fragrance
• Fillers
• Preservatives
• Artificial additives
Any scent comes naturally from essential oils or from the ingredients themselves.
How should I store my products?
Store at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Because these products are made without preservatives, temperature extremes may change texture but not effectiveness.
Do your products have a shelf life?
When stored properly, all products have a shelf life of 12–18 months. Even then, you can always stick it in the fridge! Always use clean hands to avoid introducing moisture into the jar.
What skin types are your products suitable for?
Little Valley Tallow products are suitable for all skin types, including:
• Sensitive skin
• Dry or dehydrated skin
• Reactive or eczema-prone skin
• Maturing skin
Many customers turn to tallow after struggling with irritation from conventional skincare.
How do I know which product is right for me?
Each product page includes detailed descriptions to help guide you. If you’re unsure, start with:
• Unscented for sensitive or reactive skin
• Frankincense for acne or facial care
• Skin Deep for very dry or cracked areas
Can I use your products on my face and body?
Yes. All of my products are formulated to be versatile and can be used head to toe, unless otherwise noted in the product description.
Where are your products made?
All products are handcrafted by me, in small batches, in the Okanagan, British Columbia, with care, love and intention.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are typically processed within 2–5 business days. Shipping times vary depending on location. Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking information.
Do you offer refunds or returns?
Because these are personal care products, returns are handled on a case-by-case basis. If there is an issue with your order, please reach out through the Contact page and we will find a solution.
