"My skin has never felt softer, looked more even, or clearer. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, this is the only thing that's worked."
HolyCow's Whipped Tallow Balm is clean, ancestral skincare made the way our great-grandparents did it. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow whipped with USDA organic jojoba oil, just 2 to 4 simple ingredients. It melts into your skin, feeds it the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and replaces a whole shelf of lotions. Made in small batches in the USA by Tristen and Collin Foote in Indiana.
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and gently massage until absorbed. A little goes a long way. Use daily on your face, hands, or anywhere your skin needs extra moisture. For best results, apply after showering or before bed.
Grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow · USDA organic jojoba oil · real essential oils in the scented versions (Vanilla Bean, Lavender Vanilla, Orange Vanilla). The Unscented / Herb-Infused option is jojoba infused with organic lavender and rose. That's it, every ingredient listed, every batch small.

Try the whole jar. Use it for 180 days. If your skin isn't softer, calmer, and easier to care for, just email and we'll make it right. Keep the jar. No fine print. That's the family promise.
AS SEEN ON
Introducing HolyCow's Whipped Tallow Balm, grass-fed beef tallow whipped with organic jojoba oil, designed to feed your skin the fat-soluble vitamins it's missing and calm the redness, breakouts, and dryness that ordinary lotions leave behind.
Thousands thought calm, clear skin was simply out of reach… until they found HolyCow. Because it's built on a clean grass-fed tallow base with nothing synthetic, most people see a visible difference in just a few weeks.

Most creams coat your skin with synthetic oils, fillers, and "fragrance" that clog pores and feed irritation. Your skin isn't broken, it's starved of the clean fats and vitamins it actually needs to heal.
HolyCow strips all of it away. One simple ingredient your skin recognizes as food, and the breakouts, redness, and dry patches finally have room to heal.

📺 Live on Indy Now
Collin and Tristen Foote shared their clean, small-batch tallow skincare live on Indy Now, the same jars they hand-whip for their own family in Indiana.
“We made it for our own family first. If it's not clean enough for our kids, it doesn't go in the jar.”Tristen & Collin Foote, Founders
The average lotion has 20+ ingredients you can't pronounce. Your skin, your body's largest organ, soaks up most of what you rub on within minutes. The Environmental Working Group found the average woman absorbs 168 chemicals a day, most of them from creams and lotions.
Every day, you deal with:
As long as you keep coating your skin with the same synthetic chemicals, your skin barrier keeps getting weaker, and the breakouts, dryness, and irritation keep cycling back, month after month.
There's a simpler answer your great-grandmother already knew, and it has none of the junk. Just grass-fed tallow whipped with organic jojoba oil: fats your skin recognizes as food.
Show Me The Clean Fix→Here's what changed everything: grass-fed beef tallow has a fatty-acid profile almost identical to your own skin's oils. So instead of sitting on top like a synthetic cream, it sinks in and feeds your skin the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K it's been starving for. That's why it absorbs clean, never clogs pores, and calms what other products inflame.
"I checked with our pediatrician before using it on her, and she said tallow is one of the best things you can put on baby skin."
A HolyCow customer, on using it for her daughter
Renewal. The same nutrient behind retinol creams, in its natural, gentle form.
Calms redness and supports your skin barrier. Most of us are deficient.
A natural antioxidant that helps protect and soften skin.
Supports healing and helps keep your skin tone even.
Because tallow works with your skin instead of against it, one little jar quietly does what a whole shelf of products used to: face cream, body lotion, hand cream, baby cream, the balm for those eczema-prone dry patches, all replaced by one jar on the counter.
I emptied six bottles into the trash. I'd been spending over $200 a month on skincare. Now I spend $30 every couple of months.
Do the math
Pick up the lotion in your bathroom right now. Try to find the founder's name on it. You can't, the “brand” is a marketing division of a big corporation. The product is made in a factory you'll never see, by people who don't use it.
HolyCow is the opposite.
It's a husband-and-wife team, Tristen and Collin Foote, who started whipping tallow in their Indiana kitchen after their daughter reacted to a popular baby lotion. They wanted one clean thing that worked on everyone in the house. So they made it.
Then their friends asked for some. Then strangers online. Then it outgrew the kitchen.
Today, HolyCow's Whipped Tallow Balm is still made in small batches, still hand-whipped, still shipped from Indiana. The tallow comes from grass-fed family farms within a couple hours' drive. You can email Tristen with a question and she'll write you back. Try that with the big lotion brands.
We make every jar the same way we'd make it for our own family. If we wouldn't put it on our kids, we don't put it in the jar.
I know what's in this jar. I know who made it. I know where the cows came from. That's not marketing, that's accountability.
Switching to one clean jar feels different, fast. Here's what most people notice, and when.
Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingers and press it in. It absorbs in 30–60 seconds and leaves skin soft, not greasy. Most people use too much the very first time.
The rough spots on elbows, hands, and cheeks that never quite clear up start to settle. Skin feels softer by the end of the first week.
Two weeks in, the fat-soluble vitamins have gone to work, fine lines look softer and skin looks plumper and more even. Most people have also quietly retired their face cream, body lotion, and hand cream, just skin that's been fed instead of fought with.
Results may vary from person to person.
It can. Tallow's fatty-acid profile is almost identical to your skin's own oils, so it absorbs deep, calms eczema-prone and irritated skin, and, because it's non-comedogenic, won't clog pores the way coconut oil and many lotions do. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K it delivers also help soften the look of fine lines over time. Acne-, eczema-, and rosacea-prone customers are some of our happiest reviewers.
No. Properly rendered, grass-fed tallow has almost no smell on its own. HolyCow filters it twice and gently heat-purifies every batch, so any meat scent is gone before it reaches a jar. The Unscented option smells faintly like clean butter for 30 seconds, then nothing. The scented ones (Vanilla Bean, Lavender Vanilla, Orange Vanilla) smell like the real essential oil added to them.
Tallow is one of the lowest pore-clogging fats in all of skincare. Its fatty-acid profile is almost identical to your skin's natural oils, so your pores recognize it instead of freaking out. People with acne, eczema, and rosacea tell us their skin actually calmed down within a few weeks of switching. Coconut oil clogs pores. Tallow doesn't.
No, that's the surprise. A little goes a long way. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press it into your skin. It absorbs in 30 to 60 seconds and leaves you soft, not slick. Most new users use way too much the first time.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. The balm is made from grass-fed beef tallow. If you're plant-based, this isn't your pick. What we will tell you: every drop of tallow comes from regenerative family farms, and using it for skincare is the most nose-to-tail, zero-waste way to use an animal that was raised either way.
Sometimes those words mean nothing, a lot of brands slap "natural" on a label that still hides 18 synthetic ingredients. HolyCow's Unscented balm has one ingredient. The scented versions have two to four. They're all listed. Every farm is named. Every batch is small. That's not marketing, that's a small family choosing to show you everything.
Want zero scent? Unscented / Herb-Infused. Soft and sweet? Vanilla Bean. Calming for bedtime? Lavender Vanilla. Bright and citrusy? Orange Vanilla. If you already know what you like, the stock-up bundles save you the most per jar.
A 2oz jar of daily face use lasts about a month for one adult. Couples and families sharing go through it faster, which is why a lot of people grab the 3-Pack or 6-Pack.
Yes. Tallow is one of the best things you can put on baby skin. Many parents use the Unscented balm on diaper rash, eczema-prone areas, and dry cheeks. Always patch-test first, and ask your pediatrician if you're not sure.
