How do I use amio tallow balm?
amio Tallow Balm acts as a deeply nourishing emollient, helping to lock in moisture and protect the skin’s natural barrier. For best results, apply it as the final step in your morning or evening skincare ritual, onto clean, slightly damp skin.
We recommend using it after oil cleansing, while your skin is still dewy. Start with a small amount - a little is all you need - and gently smooth it over your face or body until you achieve even, balanced coverage.
Can I use Tallow on my face?
amio tallow balm is formulated to be used on your entire body. It's an everything balm that will keep your skin hydrated while supporting your skin barrier with natural, simple ingredients.
Does amio tallow balm work with any skin type?
All people, all skin types and all ages can use amio tallow balm. It's nourishing for dry skin as it rebalances oil production. This is in large because tallow is similar to our natural sebum.
Can I use amio for eczema?
Tallow balm acts as a barrier to maintain your skin barrier and protect it from drying out. We have heard a lot of success stories from using tallow balm to help manage eczema, psoriasis and other forms of dermatitis.
How should I store my amio tallow balm?
Store at room temperature away from any natural light. Treat your tallow how you would any other fat like coconut oil or ghee, like these products tallow will be softer when its warm and solid when It's cool.
How long will my tallow balm last?
At amio, we craft our balms using only naturally resilient ingredients, meaning there's no need for preservatives or synthetic emulsifiers - common culprits behind hormone and endocrine disruption.
Thanks to the natural stability of grass-fed tallow, your balm will stay fresh for up to six months after opening, as long as it’s kept in a cool, dry place.

Why animal based?
When ingredients are similar to your skin’s natural composition they are easily absorbed.
Tallow’s lipid profile closely resembles human sebum, helping support your skin barrier.
Tallow is the ultimate skin compatible ingredient.
Does it smell?
The natural scent of tallow once rendered is mild. We formulate our tallow balms with cocoa butter which is nourshing but also helps stabilise the scent of the product. If you're after something scented we offer our tallow balm with jasmine essential oil.
