FAQs
Got questions?? We've got answers!
Here's the truth, the tallowed truth, and nothing but the truth:
Why is your brand so aweseome??
The simple answer is because the truth will set you free. And our brand is rooted in the truth, and, more specifically, the tallowed truth;)
Ok but what does that mean?
It means our products and messaging are born from the tried and true recipe for happy, healthy humans.
From the ingredients we use to the values we stand for, this brand is here to stand up to the corruption, lies, and anti-human agenda pushed by big government and big-pharma, and provide you with an alternative that supports your body and your beliefs.
What is F-Balm, and what are its main benefits for the skin?
F-Balm is a natural tallow balm made from beef tallow, known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It helps address various skin issues by providing hydration and supporting skin health.
What is the difference between the F-Balm and F-Balm Body Butter?
The products have the same ingredients, but the Body Butter is whipped so is much lighter and more airy. This makes it easier to spread over larger areas of skin and more like a cream texture than a Balm. The F-Balm is more concentrated and dense so better for longer term use and smaller areas (like the face). A little goes a long way!
Is F-Balm suitable for all skin types?
Yes, F-Balm is designed for all skin types, offering compatibility with the skin's natural lipid profile. However, it's recommended to patch-test on a small area first, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or bee allergies (because of the honey and beeswax).
How should I incorporate F-Balm into my skincare routine?
It can be used as a moisturizer, spot treatment, or as an aid to address specific skin issues. Adjust usage based on your skin's individual needs. See below for application tips.
Can F-Balm be used on the face and body?
Absolutely, F-Balm is versatile and can be used on both the face and body to address various skin concerns. Apply a small amount and massage gently into damp skin.
The F-Balm is much more dense and concentrated than our whipped Butter. This means it lasts longer and is more ideal for smaller areas of the body (like the face). The Body Butter is more airy and so can work better for spreading over larger areas or over very sensitive skin.
Is it safe for babies??
Yes, F-Balm is safe for babies and children, but we do recommend “patch testing” with a small amount of the balm to ensure good results before using regularly.
Does F-Balm have a strong odour?
F-Balm is made from natural ingredients, and while it may have a mild natural scent due to its tallow base, it is generally not overpowering. The tallow we use is triple filtered which takes away much of the “beefy” smell that you may have experienced with other tallow brands.
What is S-Balm?
S-Balm is a new product and is a sun block. We use non-nano Zinc Oxide to provide non-toxic protection from the sun, and mango butter and tallow to help the product glide smoothly over your skin, still giving you some of the F-Balm benefits. This stuff is seriously smooth.
It also has Organic Cold Pressed Olive Oil, Organic MCT (Coconut) Oil, and
Beeswax to help it absorb into and sooth your skin.
Where is your tallow sourced from?
Our tallow comes from cattle that is: Grass-Fed, Grass Finished, Hormone Free, Antibiotic Free, Steroid Free, GMO-Free, Vaccine-Free Our tallow partner sources from independent Alberta ranches and then uses a triple purification process to remove almost all of the "beefy smell" while preserving the natural vitamins and nutrients in the fat.
Can F-Balm be used in conjunction with other skincare products?
Yes, F-Balm can be integrated into your existing skincare routine. Apply it after serums and before sunscreen during the day or as the final step in your evening routine.
Can F-Balm be worn with makeup?
You bet! Apply all your skincare products or just the F-Balm on its own and then give it some time to absorb before starting your makeup. If you like a glowy look, give it less time to absorb, and if that's not your thing, give it around 15 minutes before starting on makeup. It should give you a mousterising base and help your makeup sit nicely on your skin and look fresh all day.
How long does a jar of F-Balm typically last, and what is its shelf life?
The longevity of a jar of F-Balm depends on individual usage, but a little goes a long way. On average, a jar can last several months. The shelf life is at least 12 months; it can be used after this, but it is recommended to use it within that timeframe for optimal efficacy.
What type of olive oil do you use?
We use cold-pressed, organic, extra virgin olive oil sourced from Tunisia.
Is your Frankincense organic?
Yes, we use organic and non-synthetic essential frankincense oil in our F-Balm products (aside from the Black Label which is fragrance free).
Do you use raw honey?
We use local raw honey that is never heated enough past the point of pasteurization. This preserves the benefits and nutrients in the profile of raw honey so that you can receive all the benefits this ingredient has to offer!
How to use F-Balm:
They might seem like small tins, but because they're so dense, a little goes a long way!
Application method makes a big difference for this product and it's an adjustment from your average cream moisturizer.
Here's what we suggest:
Apply F-Balm to a damp face/skin post-shower or (if face is dry) after cleansing, take a pea-sized amount of Balm and warm it up between your fingers -- add a drop of warm water if you still find it is too thick.
Once it is warmed and really like a 'very very soft, almost melting butter' consistency, apply to the face. Take a minute or two to massage it in. It should absorb within a few minutes -- leaving your skin moisturized and glowy but not greasy.
The uses of this stuff are almost endless, but here’s a handful of ways it can be used:
**For best results, apply to warm wet or moist skin after showering or washing**
Apply daily to the face and extremities for a powerful anti-aging and revitalizing effect.
Apply to acne-affected skin for healing and relief (rinse and gently wash face, then apply balm)
Apply as needed to dry lips or dry skin for healing and rejuvenation
Apply to sensitive skin after shaving or washing to prevent dehydration
Apply to sore feet before bed for soothing and softening
Apply to any burns, irritation or chafing as needed until you feel relief (it won't take very long)
Apply to acne-affected skin for relief (and sometimes reversal - for seven days, rinse with warm water or natural cleanser before bed and then apply f-balm)
Apply to eczema-affected skin for relief and restoration
Apply to psoriasis-affected skin for relief and soothing (test on a small area)
Apply under the eyes to minimize wrinkles and restore colour
Apply to chaffing or rashes for a fast, soothing, and healing effect.
