Terra Lotus Tallow and Raw Honey Balm, Unscented

A simple fragrance free tallow balm for dry skin, best used sparingly and at night.

The short version

Buy it if
  • People who want a fragrance free balm with only a few ingredients

Skip it if
  • You avoid animal derived ingredients or honey
  • You want a light lotion that disappears the moment it goes on
  • Any natural tallow smell would bother you

What owners like

  • Short ingredient list that is easy to read

Common complaints

  • Thick and heavy if too much is used, especially in warm weather

  • Takes several minutes to absorb on the face

What it does

A handmade skin balm from Terra Lotus made of grass-fed beef tallow, raw honey, olive oil and beeswax, with no added scent.

  • Four ingredients, with no added fragrance or essential oils
  • The maker lists face, hands, arms, feet and other dry areas as places to use it
  • Firm balm that softens with body heat, so a small amount is warmed between the fingers first
  • Also sold in citrus, lavender and vanilla versions if a scent is wanted later
  • Handmade in small batches in the USA, according to Terra Lotus

A short ingredient list balm for people who want a rich, fragrance free moisturizer and do not mind an animal fat base. The trade-offs are a dense texture that takes a few minutes to sink in, a faint natural tallow smell, and a small jar for the price band.

Questions

Does unscented tallow balm smell like beef?

Reviewers describe only a faint natural tallow smell that fades soon after it goes on. Terra Lotus adds no fragrance to this version.

What is in Terra Lotus unscented tallow balm?

The maker lists grass-fed beef tallow, organic beeswax, raw honey and organic olive oil.

How do you apply a tallow balm?

Warm a pea sized amount between the fingertips until it softens, then press it into the skin. Using too much is the usual cause of a greasy feel.

How long does a 2 oz jar last?

Users report it lasts a while because only a small amount is needed each time, but daily face and body use will empty it faster.
