Premium quality ingredients. Locally sourced whenever possible.
Our star ingredient (you might have guessed) is tallow! Specifically, 100% grass-fed and finished Canadian beef tallow, triple purified.
Five ingredients. That’s it.
No fillers, no synthetic fragrance, no preservatives. Here’s everything that goes into every tin of F-Balm:
-
Grass-fed and finished Canadian beef tallow
Unbleached and triple purified. Tallow has fatty acids similar to those found naturally in your skin, giving your skin barrier a helping hand in keeping moisture in and irritants out.
-
Raw Ontario honey
Raw, local and never heated to pasteurization. A natural humectant and gentle exfoliant that draws moisture into the skin.
-
Canadian beeswax
Can help soothe the skin and seals in moisture with a light, protective layer.
-
Organic extra virgin olive oil
Cold-pressed, from Tunisia, and rich in vitamin E for lasting hydration.
-
Organic frankincense essential oil
Non-synthetic, from India. Helps calm the look of irritation and tone the skin.
Not all tallow is created equal
In the last couple of years, the market has been flooded with new tallow products.
-
A lot of tallow comes from China
If you’re a business owner trying to make a buck, this is the easiest way to do it. Tallow sourced from China is almost always bleached and, often, not even real beef tallow.

Most domestic tallow isn’t grass-fed
Companies will tell you that “grass-fed doesn’t matter, tallow is tallow.” But you don’t need to be a scientist to understand this: a grass-fed and finished, pasture-raised cow is chemically different from one that’s force-fed GMO, chemical-sprayed corn in an overcrowded animal prison.
Why grass-fed makes a difference
We can explain it with just one of the active ingredients in grass-fed tallow: fatty acids.
Your body knows what to use
Your body naturally absorbs and uses the things it needs, and rejects the things it doesn’t.
Your skin responds to the right nutrients
Tallow contains fatty acids similar to those found naturally in your skin. They give your skin barrier a helping hand in keeping moisture in and irritants out.
The problem with industrial farming
Industrial cows are fattened up on purpose by feeding them a ton of GMO corn sprayed with chemicals. Great for profits, not so great for what ends up in the fat.
The grass-fed advantage
Grass-fed beef has a better balance of fatty acids, including more omega-3s, than grain-fed beef.
What our tallow delivers
Fat-soluble vitamins and bio-available fatty acids, in every application.
Vitamin A
Supports skin cell turnover and renewal.
Vitamin D
Helps maintain barrier function and skin health.
Vitamin E
From the tallow and olive oil. Helps protect against oxidative and environmental stress.
Vitamin K
Supports the skin’s natural repair.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
Found naturally in grass-fed beef. Supports an even-looking skin tone.
Palmitic acid
One of the main fatty acids in your skin’s own sebum. Helps lock in moisture.
Stearic acid
Helps support the skin barrier and elasticity.
