FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What exactly is beef tallow balm?
Beef tallow is the rendered fat from grass-fed cows. It has been used as a skin moisturiser for thousands of years — long before the modern beauty industry existed. Our balm is made from 100% grass-fed beef tallow combined with 4 other natural ingredients. Nothing synthetic. Nothing artificial. Just what your skin actually needs.
❓ Is it safe to put beef tallow on my face?
Absolutely. Beef tallow is structurally almost identical to your skin's own sebum — the natural oil your skin produces. This means your skin recognises it immediately and absorbs it completely. It has been used safely on skin for centuries. Our formula is suitable for all skin types including sensitive, acne-prone, eczema-prone and rosacea-prone skin.
❓ Won't it clog my pores and cause breakouts?
This is the most common concern we hear — and the most misunderstood. Tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not block pores. Many of our customers with acne-prone skin actually report a significant reduction in breakouts within the first two to three weeks. Most breakouts are caused by synthetic ingredients and preservatives that irritate the skin barrier. Remove those and replace them with something your skin recognises — and it starts to calm down on its own.
❓ What are the ingredients?
Our balm contains only 5 ingredients :
- ✦ Grass-fed beef tallow — the base, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K
- ✦ Organic beeswax — seals in moisture and creates a protective barrier
- ✦ Raw honey — antibacterial, soothing, naturally humectant
- ✦ Organic olive oil — deeply nourishing, antioxidant-rich
- ✦ Lavender essential oil — calming, anti-inflammatory, naturally aromatic
That is it. No preservatives. No synthetic fragrances. No parabens. No fillers.
❓ How do I use it?
Apply a small amount — about the size of a pea — to clean, dry skin. Warm it between your fingertips first and press gently into your skin. Use morning and evening for best results. A little goes a long way — your 50ml jar will last 6 to 8 weeks with daily use.
❓ Can I use it on my body as well as my face?
Yes — and many of our customers do. It works beautifully on dry elbows, cracked heels, hands, lips, stretch marks, scars, and anywhere the skin needs deep nourishment. Several customers use it as an all-over body balm after showering.
❓ How quickly will I see results?
Most customers notice softer, more hydrated skin within the first 3 to 7 days. Visible improvements in texture, tone and breakouts typically appear between days 7 and 21. For deeper skin concerns like eczema, rosacea or hyperpigmentation, allow 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use. That is why we offer a 60-day guarantee — real transformation takes time and we want you to go all the way.
❓ I have very sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?
Our customers with sensitive skin are consistently among our happiest. Because our formula contains no synthetic ingredients, fragrances or preservatives — the most common triggers for skin reactions — most sensitive skin types tolerate it beautifully. We always recommend a patch test on your inner wrist for 24 hours before applying to your face, as you would with any new skincare product.
❓ I have eczema / rosacea / psoriasis. Can I use this?
Many of our customers with eczema, rosacea and psoriasis report significant improvement after consistent use. However we are not a medical product and we cannot make medical claims. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, we recommend speaking with your GP or dermatologist before trying any new skincare — and taking advantage of our 60-day guarantee so you can test it with zero financial risk.
❓ Does it smell like meat?
No — and this surprises most people. Our tallow is carefully rendered and purified, which removes any animal smell entirely. The balm has a very light, subtle scent from the lavender essential oil. Most customers describe it as barely-there and pleasant. Nothing that will linger on your skin or clash with your perfume.
❓ Is it suitable for men?
Absolutely. Several of our customers are men — particularly those with dry, irritated or shaving-aggravated skin. It works brilliantly as a post-shave balm and for general skin hydration. No heavy scent, no fuss, just results.
❓ Is it cruelty-free?
Our tallow is sourced from grass-fed cows raised on ethical, sustainable farms. The animals are never harmed for the purpose of producing our balm — tallow is a by-product of the meat industry that would otherwise go to waste. We believe in honest, transparent sourcing and we never test our products on animals.
❓ How long does one jar last?
One 50ml jar lasts approximately 6 to 8 weeks with daily use on the face. If you are also using it on your body, you may go through it faster. We recommend the 90-Day Kit — 3 jars — to ensure you complete a full transformation without running out.
❓ What is your money back guarantee?
We offer a full 60-day money back guarantee — no conditions, no questions, no forms to fill. If after 60 days of daily use you do not see a visible difference in your skin, simply send us a message at fiorbalm.contact.com and we will refund every penny. We can make that promise because we believe completely in what is inside this jar.
