The same tallow and beeswax base as the unscented balm, with one addition — a light touch of pure essential oils in your choice of two. Peppermint for a cool, clean finish. Citrus for a bright, fresh lift from orange and grapefruit peel oils. Both subtle, both real, from the essential oil itself and nothing else. No synthetic fragrance, no artificial flavor.
For those who like their lip balm to have a little character, this is the one.
Tallow Lip Balm - Scented starts from the same place as its unscented counterpart — grass-fed tallow and beeswax as the base, jojoba, rosehip, sweet almond, and raspberry seed oils to round out the formula, and vitamin E for natural antioxidant stability. Everything that makes the unscented version work, carried forward unchanged.
The only difference is a single, considered addition: pure essential oils, in your choice of two.
Peppermint brings a cool, clean finish to the lips — crisp without being sharp, and present without overpowering. It's the kind of scent that registers as clean and refreshing rather than minty candy. Citrus is the other option — a blend of orange and grapefruit peel oils that opens bright and sunny, with a light, natural freshness that doesn't try too hard. Both are subtle. Both are real. No synthetic fragrance, no artificial flavor compounds, no sweeteners of any kind.
This batch is made with refined rosehip oil, which produces a more neutral color than the unrefined version used in the unscented balm — a small but honest difference between the two.
Rub it on! – Open the tube and apply to lips.
Keep it Happy! – Keep your lip balm away from direct sunlight and from excessive heat (like in the car all day). Our lip balms have less anchoring waxes than commercial brands, so it may melt quicker than a commercial lip balm.
💡 Bonus Tip: Tallow, if melted, cools at a different temperature than other butters and oils. This is evident if your lip balm heats up, then cools with a grainy texture. To fix this, melt it again on purpose, by removing the balm from the container and warming up in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted (but not over 158°F), pour back into the container and place upright in the freezer until solid. This will force all the ingredients to cool at the same rate.
Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Fading: Natural essential oils are beautifully delicate—unlike synthetic fragrances, they tend to fade over time. That gentle fading is your proof it’s truly natural! For the richest scent experience, we recommend using your lip balm within a year—after that, it still works just as great, but it may lose some of its vibrant charm.
• Variations: Natural variations of color, design and shape occur with all handmade products.
• Sensitivities: While our lip balms are crafted with care and the best ingredients, some people are still sensitive to some natural ingredients. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Yes, we only use essential oils to scent our lip balms. Be aware, however, that grapefruit essential oil contains Bergapten, which has phototoxic qualities. This means your lips can become sensitive or burn from sunlight.
Fading of scent is completely normal. Essential oils are delicate and can evaporate as the lip balm is stored or ages, especially lighter scents like citrus.
This gentle change doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the lip balm—it’s simply part of the charm of using a truly natural product. To keep your lip balms at their best, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. We also offer unscented versions of our lip balms.
As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how it is poured in the container. You will know its handmade when every balm you see has its own personality, it's own look.
Whereas, commercial products are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.
We are also looking for the very best ingredients and packaging available. Some packaging may look different than the product picture shows.
If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. You will find that less ingredients may be better for sensitive skin rather than adding extras that may aggravate it. Look for our single-oil/butter soaps that are unscented, such as our Pure Tallow Soap or our Pure Lard Soap. Both of these are very mild and gentle on the skin without stripping any extra oils.
As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create soaps & skincare that use animal fats. However, I also realize people don't think the same way as I do or who have allergic reactions to animal fats. I try to offer something for everyone. We offer 2 versions of lip balm; one with Tallow and one without. However, both our recipes include beeswax.
In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.
As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. However, cost of packaging prohibits us from offering cardboard tubing at this time. As we grow and are able to purchase in bulk, we would be able to get the price down to an amount that we wouldn't have to forward the cost to the customer.
Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.
However, if you are having an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help, if needed. (Even natural ingredients have allergens that people can react with. Patch test first if you are worried about sensitives.)
If our product(s) just don't work for you after consistently using them for several weeks, or if you have an allergic reaction to one of our products, please contact us so we can discuss a refund or replacement of the item(s).
Yes! Law requires us to include the INCI name for our products that are considered cosmetics which is anything other than soap. Soap is not considered a cosmetic, so we don't include usually the INCI ingredient list. Whether we are required to include the INCI list or not, we always include the common name list so the ingredients are easily recognizable.
We want you to know how each ingredient affects the final product, if just out of curiosity or allergy-related. We've compiled lists of each ingredient and what they bring to the table. Check them out here: Butters & Oils, Additives (special oils, etc.), Scents (essential oils & fragrance oils), and colorants (powders & clays). You will also find these links in our footer at the bottom of each page as well as in the drop-down menu. If you don't see a particular ingredient listed, let us know, and we will add it. You can also google the standard name or INCI name for a good snapshot of the ingredient and its uses.
