Got questions?? We've got answers. Here's the truth, the Tallowed Truth, and nothing but the truth:

F-Balm

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.

Great question!

The Butter and Face Whip are both "whipped" and have tallow but have completely different formulas making them different products with different textures.

The F-Balm products are generally quite thick whereas the Freedom Face Whips are a light cream consistency.

The F-Balms products offer the healing benefits of honey and beeswax, which help fade scars, sooth sores and raw skin, and gently acts as a microbial to kill bacteria and fungi. Honey and beeswax do make for a denser product!

The Face Whip is much lighter so quickly absorbs without much rubbing but doesn't have those bee benefits. It's a good choice if you want the tallow benefits in a light, luxurious, easy to use day and night cream!

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 sensitivities.

Apply F-Balm to clean damp skin as needed. It can be used as a moisturizer, spot treatment, or to address specific skin issues. Adjust usage based on your skin's individual needs. If you feel sticky or greasy, you may be using too much or need a bit more water.

If using with other products, the F-Balm would be the 'cream' step in your routine!

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. Applying before bed allows the Balm lots of time to absorb, giving you supple, soft skin when you wake up!

The F-balm is safe for babies (over 12 months) and children; it's generally recommended you avoid any topical honey products for infants under 12 months, so we defer to parental knowledge on this! We'd suggest our Unscented Face Whip for your little little one. If you're using any of the F-Balms on your baby/child, we do recommend patch testing with a small amount of the balm to ensure there are no sensitivities before using it regularly. If your baby/child is sensitive to scents and oils, you may prefer using the Unscented F-Balm or Unscented Freedom Face Whip.

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.

Our tallow is sourced from independent Canadian ranchers. Our tallow is Grass-Fed AND Grass-Finished; Triple Purified (to minimize beefy odour while preserving key nutrients); Non-GMO and Hormone Free.

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.

Here’s how we’d use F-Balm with makeup:

- First, warm a small amount of the Balm between your fingers. Add a drop of water if you find it's a little thick.

-Apply the F-Balm as your moisturiser (after any serums, ect, if using) and massage it in. 

-Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb into your skin. Then go ahead with your makeup, using the F-Balm as a moisturising primer to prevent the foundation from going into your pores and to give you a glowy finish!

F-Balm: The longevity of a tin of F-Balm depends on individual usage, but a little goes a long way. On average, a tin 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.

S-Balm: S-Balm has a shelf life of 6-12 months. The S-Balm will melt in hot weather so we suggest keeping it out of direct sunlight. Colour may vary from white to yellow because of natural properties.

Freedom Face Whips: The Face Whips should be used within 6-8 months for optimal efficacy.

Yes, they can!

While we can’t guarantee anything, many customers have said that the F-Balm and Body Butter have made a huge positive difference with these skin conditions. For eczema, we recommend the Body Butter or Freedom Face Whip, based on your preference for ingredients!

The Body Butter is whipped and has a much lighter consistency than the Balm, so it does not need much rubbing to apply. Its bee ingredients make it extremely healing for scars and discolouraton, and soothing for skin irritations and raw skin.

Want something even more simple?? The Face Whips are even lighter than the Balms but don't offer those same bee benefits.

We always recommend doing a small patch test before a full application to ensure there are no product sensitivities. If that goes well, then you can go ahead with a full application! 

When opened, keep the F-Balm in a room-temperature place! As long as it doesn’t get too hot (it might melt) or too cold (it will be harder to spread), it’s easily spreadable and should absorb pretty quickly, leaving the skin moisturised but not greasy. You can store unopened tins in a cool, dry place till you’re ready to use them!

Our message for freedom was inspired by the Canadian freedom convoy that took place during Covid in the winter of 2022 in response to the unethical mandates put forward by government officials and public health. A free and healthy society demands protection for the sovereignty of families and individuals against forceful and unethical mandates from government, schools, employers and public health officials, it is our mission to uphold and protect this sovereignty, with our products and our message. 

We use cold-pressed, organic, extra virgin olive oil sourced from Tunisia.

We use raw, local small-batch 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 -- natural antibacterial properties, antioxidants, and moisture retention, which collectively contribute to promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall skin health.

We use non-synthetic essential frankincense oil. It is pure and organic, kosher and halal certified. We source it from India. It is GMO free, vegan, and gluten free.

Beeswax acts as a natural emollient that helps retain moisture, provides a protective barrier, and possesses anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to improved skin hydration and overall well-being. It is also incredibly healing, promoting regeneration! We use small-batch Canadian beeswax.

We make, package, and ship every order from Ontario, Canada with our small team.

No, we only sell online right now. Though you may find our F-Balm at small independent retailers throughout Canada!

Freedom Face Whip:

It is a light, airy cream with quick absorption! Perfect for anyone who wants a daily moisturizer with tallow benefits without feeling any grease or heaviness! Its texture is like a whipped silky icing, making it a luxurious hydration treatement for your skin! 

F-Balm has bee ingredients (raw honey and beeswax) which make it incredibly healing (for burns, scars, cuts) and full of antioxidants for your skin! But these also make it pretty thick and dense. A little goes a long way.

Freedom Face Whip is only tallow and jojoba (and two more essential oils in the Summer scent) so it is much lighter and has a silky, creamy texture. The Whip is still healing but doesn't have the same benefits as F-Balms for skin issues like burns or irritations.

Like your face creams to have a light scent? The Summer Scent is a clean moisturizer that has a fresh breezy citrus scent. The scent fades soon after application but offers a light aroma without sacrificing your skin's health to synthetic fragrances.

Prefer the bare bones benefits? We made the Unscented Whip for the people who are allergic to everything. No scents, just high quality tallow and organic jojoba oil.
