After spending much of this year focused on recovery, I’ve found myself more grateful than ever for the natural things that help us care for our bodies well.For many years now, and especially through navigating severe endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, and meeting Abi @rebrandr.creative.studio and a few other people who have been catalysts in my journey, I’ve become increasingly intentional about what we bring into our home and put onto our skin. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of listening, learning, and wanting to care for our bodies well.That’s why discovering tallow feels less like discovering something new and more like remembering something we’ve known all along: that sometimes, the most powerful things are also the simplest. Long before endless ingredients lists and complicated routines, our ancestors were using tallow to nourish and care for their skin, and there’s something profoundly humbling about returning to that wisdom.I love what @balmycow is creating because it reflects so much of what I’ve come to value: quality, integrity, and a deep respect for both tradition and the care that goes into creating something truly exceptional. And truthfully, after trying a number of tallow products over the years, this is quite possibly the best tallow I’ve come across and used so far.Here’s to slowing down, stripping things back, and choosing what truly nourishes us. 🤍 by @balmycow

✨ “Why does my balm look or feel different?”✨This is one of the questions I’m asked the most.The answer is simple…We don’t use a factory.Every jar of Balmy Cow is handmade in small batches using simple, natural ingredients. Because we don’t use stabilisers or texture modifiers to make every jar look and feel identical, you’ll notice natural changes throughout the year.Just like butter…On warmer days, your balm will be softer.On cooler days, it will be firmer.You may even notice tiny crystals or slight variations in texture from one batch to another. That’s a natural characteristic of real tallow and a reminder that your balm hasn’t been forced to stay exactly the same. Simply warm a small amount between your fingertips. As it melts with the warmth of your hands, it transforms into a rich, buttery balm that’s ready to nourish your skin.Nature changes with the seasons.So does our balm.We wouldn’t want it any other way.Thank you for choosing real, handmade skincare and for supporting our little family business. 💚Made for our family. Shared with yours.Beautifully captured by @flora_westbrook 🙏💚#BalmyCow #TallowSkincare #HandmadeSkincare #NaturalSkincare by @balmycow

Why tallow? 🤍🐮Yesterday, I shared why we started. Today, I want to share why we chose tallow.When I first dreamed about creating a skincare brand as our homeschool project, I imagined making products using wild-foraged herbs.I spent weeks researching the laws around foraging, sustainable harvesting, and whether it was something we could genuinely build a business around.The more I looked into it, the more I realised it wasn’t the right path for us. We didn’t have our own land yet, and I wanted to create something that could grow alongside our family.Then, during COVID, we started supporting a local family farm by having our meat delivered directly to our home.One delivery included some suet.My husband looked at it and simply said,“Why don’t you use the suet?”I’d never even considered it.The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Instead of letting such a valuable part of the animal go to waste, we could honour it by turning it into something beautiful and useful.Curious, I started researching.The more I learned, the more fascinated I became. Our ancestors had valued rendered suet—known as tallow—for generations, using it for so many purposes, including nourishing and protecting the skin.So I rendered the suet and started experimenting.This photo, taken in August 2023, is one of our very first batches.Handwritten labels.Different recipes.Mistakes.Late nights.A whole lot of learning.Then came the moment I’ll never forget.After using my homemade balm for the very first night, I woke up, looked in the mirror, and couldn’t believe my eyes.My skin had a healthy glow I’d never seen before.After spending more than a decade working in the skincare industry and trying some of the world’s most luxurious skincare products, I’d never experienced anything that made my skin look quite like this.That’s when we knew we’d discovered something special 🙏🐮💚..#BalmyCow #FounderStory #SmallBusinessJourney #FamilyBusiness #HandmadeSkincare by @balmycow

💚 Balmy Cow wasn’t born from a business plan. It was born from becoming parents. 💚Before having children, I spent over a decade working in skincare.When my husband and I became parents, and I became a stay-at-home mum who chose to homeschool our children, our definition of success changed.We wanted to create something meaningful that we could build together as a family—something that would teach lessons no textbook ever could while creating memories we’d carry with us for the rest of our lives.Not just a non-toxic balm for our family,But a purpose.We wanted our children to learn that dreams don’t just happen…They’re built.Built through hard work.Through resilience.Through showing up, even when things don’t go to plan.Through treating people with kindness.And through building something with integrity.Balmy Cow became part of our homeschooling journey.Every batch we made.Every label we applied.Every mistake we made.Every lesson we learned.Every order we celebrated.Every customer who chose to support us.Became part of our family’s story.One of the greatest lessons we wanted our children to learn was that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.You don’t need endless qualifications to build something meaningful.You need curiosity.The courage to start.The determination to never give upAnd the confidence to keep trying..So when you use your Balmy Cow, I hope you know you’re receiving more than handmade skincare.You’re holding years of learning 💚Family teamwork😭Late nights🙏Perseverance💪And a dream that began around our family table 💚Thank you for becoming part of our story and for supporting a small family business built with purpose.We build.Together.With integrity. 💚#AncestralSkincare#BeefTallow#TallowBalm#SeedOilFree#homeeducation by @balmycow
