Eczema can be exhausting, frustrating, and at times heartbreaking — especially when it touches someone you love. As someone who has battled this condition for years, I knew the struggle all too well. So when my daughter developed eczema behind her knees, something in me just couldn’t settle. I didn’t want her to face the same long, discouraging fight as I did.
Desperate to find a gentle, natural solution, I stumbled upon something surprising — tallow.
What is Tallow?
Tallow is a natural moisturizer derived from grass-fed beef or lamb fat. It might not sound glamorous, but its benefits for sensitive, eczema-prone skin are truly remarkable.
A Discovery That Changed Everything
Like many eczema sufferers, over the years I tried countless remedies — prescription creams, cortisone ointments, and over-the-counter products. Nothing brought lasting relief for my skin.
When my daughter developed eczema behind her knees, I couldn’t bring myself to use those same harsh creams on her delicate skin. Instead, I dug deeper, searching for a gentler, natural alternative.
The Results Were Astonishing
That’s when I discovered tallow. Wanting only the best, I sourced high-quality suet from a regenerative farm here in Virginia and carefully rendered it at home into a creamy, velvety balm. Before applying it on my daughter, I tested it on my own eczema-prone skin — and felt immediate relief. The itching eased, redness calmed, and within days, my skin looked and felt healthier.
When I gently applied the balm to my daughter’s skin, we saw the same transformation: smoother skin, less inflammation, fewer flare-ups — and after just a 3 months of consistent use, her eczema had completely healed.
How to Use Tallow
Using tallow balm is easy:
- Start with clean, dry skin
- Apply a small amount to affected areas
- Massage gently until absorbed
Consistency is key — make it part of your daily routine for the best results.
