Nourishing Lip Balm

The lip balm you'll actually finish.

Soft lips. That stay that way.

Your lips are the thinnest skin on your body. They lose moisture faster, crack easier, and feel everything you put on them. So we built a balm that respects that. Seven organic ingredients, grass-fed tallow at the core.

  • Softens dry, cracked lips
  • Lasts hours, not minutes
  • Comfortable, never sticky
  • No petroleum or synthetics
  • Comforts overnight
  • Won't dry your lips out
The formula

Tallow · Beeswax · Jojoba oil · Castor oil · Lanolin · Non-GMO vitamin E · CO₂-extracted vanilla

Seven ingredients. Nothing your lips have to fight.

What each ingredient does

Try it for 60 days. If your lips don't feel softer and more comfortable, we'll refund every penny.

Less than 1% ever ask for a refund.

Why tallow on your lips

Your lips don't have oil glands. They can't moisturize themselves. Most lip balms coat the surface with petroleum or silicone. The moisture never gets in. It sits on top until it wears off and you reach for the tube again. That cycle is the product working as designed. Not for your lips. For your repeat purchases.

Tallow absorbs because your skin recognizes it. One application that actually works means you use less, reapply less, and your lips stay comfortable instead of depending.

  • No petroleum, no overpowering scent, and no unnecessary fillers.
  • No sticky gloss feel — just a soft, hydrated sheen.
  • Works as a daily balm, lip prep, or overnight comfort layer.

What changes when you switch.

  • It absorbs, not coats. Tallow mirrors your skin's fat profile. Moisture goes in instead of sitting on top.
  • You stop reapplying every hour. Beeswax seals. Lanolin holds. One application carries you through the day.
  • Seven ingredients. No filler. Everything in the tin has a job. Nothing is there to pad a label.
Full Ingredient List

Seven ingredients. Each one explained.

  • Organic Grass-Fed Tallow

    Pasture-raised

    The base. Vitamins A, D, E, and K in a form your skin absorbs without a fight. The closest thing in nature to your own sebum.

  • Organic Beeswax

    Organic certified

    Seals everything in without suffocating your lips. Gives the balm its structure and hold.

  • Organic Castor Oil

    Cold-pressed, organic

    Thick, rich, draws moisture in and keeps it there. Softens cracked lips without the waxy residue.

  • Cruelty-Free Lanolin

    New Zealand sourced

    Holds up to 200% of its weight in water. The closest thing to your skin's own moisture barrier. Nourishes and protects.

  • Organic Jojoba Oil

    Cold-pressed, organic

    Mimics your natural sebum so closely your skin absorbs it fully. Lightweight. Never greasy.

  • Non-GMO Vitamin E

    Non-GMO sourced

    Antioxidant support. Helps nourish dry, cracked-looking skin.

CO₂-extracted vanilla provides a barely-there warmth. Just enough to catch, never enough to taste artificial.

Not in the tin: Petroleum / Synthetic fragrance / Parabens / Phthalates / Phenoxyethanol / SLS / Artificial dyes / Silicones

"I've been chasing the bottom of a Burt's Bees tube my entire adult life. One tin of this and I finally stopped reapplying every twenty minutes. I genuinely don't know what to do with the time."

Who makes this

We got tired of reading ingredient lists we needed a chemistry degree to understand. So we made something different. Something with real ingredients we could actually explain. Every tin is still mixed, poured, and packed by our family. No factory. No middleman. Just us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does one tin last?

With daily use, two to four months. The tin is 0.33 oz of concentrated formula, which is roughly four times the size of a standard lip balm tube. You'll get there long before it runs out.

Does it taste like beef tallow?

No. Tallow is rendered down to a clean, neutral fat with no flavor. We add the slightest CO₂-extracted vanilla — not enough to taste, just enough to soften the natural scent. Most people describe it as having little to no flavor at all.

Can I use it under lipstick or lip liner?

Yes. Apply a thin layer, let it absorb for a minute, then apply your color. Because tallow absorbs into the lip instead of sitting on the surface, your lipstick goes on smoother and lasts longer than it does over a petroleum-based balm.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this video. It genuinely means a lot to us. As a small family business, hearing your experience in your own words is incredibly encouraging, and we never take that kind of support for granted. Thank you for trusting us with your skin and for helping others by sharing your story. We truly appreciate you.

Nice formulas. Enjoying the product so far.

Youth Alchemy

I absolutely love this product. It works exceptionally well on my skin. It’s quite penetrating and has an amazing smell.

Golden Haze - Whipped Body Butter

Love love all your products!!! ❤️

Lip Balm 3 Pack

Tau tau youth is the only product my toddlers are able to tolerate this summer. Between sunburns and chapped skin this is the ONLY product that does not burn their skin while applying and quickly replenishes the skin. 1000/10 would recommend!! We have used other high end products such as Tubby Todd, and although their bath time routine is great..their lotion does not even scratch the surface (pun intended!)

Nourishing Face Balm

Love my tau tau the best thing I’ve found for my skin in forever!

Nourishing Face Balm

This is like a spa on your lips! A little goes a long way but stays on your lips for several hours. It’s so smooth and moisturizing. The best part is I have a little that is obsessed with chapstick and this one is free of any toxins that I have to feel guilty about her consuming when she puts too much on. This company has done it again. Guilt free, smooth lips. Thanks Tau Tau.

Nourishing Lip Balm

The less you use, the better! I love the AM/PM Balm and Youth Alchemy. They melt beautifully into the skin, provide lasting moisture, and smell therapeutic. My skin feels nourished, and cared for every time I use them. I love them all!

AM/PM Glow Set

The makeup bag is wonderful. It holds everything. Keeps tallow from melting when traveling.

Excellent tallow. I have sensitive skin. I use the baby whip on my face. I love it 💕

Customer photo review of Golden Haze - Whipped Body Butter

I’ve used almost every natural, clean body butter under the sun and Tau Tau’s FINALLY checks all the boxes! It’s clean. It’s moisturizing but doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy! Its first ingredient isn’t water. The Golden Haze smells amazing! (I’m super sensitive to strong scents and this is perfect in that it smells so good but it’s not overwhelming). And the tins are adorable and large enough to last me longer than just a couple of weeks. Thank you Tau Tau for such an incredible product - love supporting your small family business!

Golden Haze - Whipped Body Butter

Store owner replied: This made our week. Tallow that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy is the hardest thing to formulate, and Joe is stubborn about it, so that means a lot to hear. Keeping the scent gentle is deliberate too. If you’re sensitive, you’re exactly who we have in mind. Thank you for noticing the details we sweat over

This stuff is AWESOME! I have developed very sensitive, itchy skin, and Tau Tau body is the perfect solution. My daughter-in-law told me about your products, and I’m thankful that she did. No more itching!

Vanilla Whisper - Whipped Body Butter

The face moisturizer is wonderful. I’ve had problems with my skin, and tau tau face balm works well.

Nourishing Face Balm

I love the ingredients, and the way it feels on my face. My skin looks better then it has in years. Truly do love this product and company.

Customer photo review of Vanilla Whisper - Whipped Body Butter

I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS!! Best tallow based body butter ever. I have tried so many different brands and this by far takes the cake. Smells incredible and the texture is heavenly. The orange scent smells amazing but I’m obsessed with the vanilla. I buy in bulk now. I’ll never go back. I’m pregnant and it has helped with stretch marks and keeping my skin super hydrated long after I put it on. That says a lot because I live in the desert where it’s super dry.

Vanilla Whisper - Whipped Body Butter

Store owner replied: Hi Sophee, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Hearing from someone who has tried multiple tallow body butters and chose ours truly means a lot to us. We love that it’s helping keep your skin hydrated through pregnancy, especially in a desert climate where moisture never seems to last long. That kind of real world feedback is exactly why we make these products the way we do. And you’re definitely not alone in being obsessed with the vanilla. It tends to become a favorite very quickly. Thank you again for supporting our small family business. Reviews like yours genuinely encourage us to keep going. Joe & Jennifer Tau Tau Skin

I love this! I use it for my pregnant belly and it keeps it moisturized ALL DAY. It’s high quality, big quantity and the fact that I’m supporting a small family with wholesome values aligns with everything I stand for. I’m trying the face set next. As soon as I got pregnant I couldn’t find anything that I deemed safe enough that would also be effective, then I found you. What you have shared with us means more than you know for us natural-focused parents and people in general. I even got my mom hooked ;) I don’t need a discount, I just wanted to say thank you!

Baby Whip

Store owner replied: Hi Kate, This truly meant a lot for us to read. Thank you for taking the time to write something so thoughtful. Hearing that Baby Whip has been helping keep your skin comfortable through pregnancy is incredibly rewarding. That exact moment you described, searching for something that felt both safe and effective, is actually what started this whole brand for us in the first place. It also means a lot to hear that our values resonate with you. We really are just a small family making these products by hand, so knowing they’ve found their way into your routine, and even your mom’s, is the best kind of encouragement we could receive. We’re excited for you to try the face set next and hope you love it just as much. Thank you again for the kindness and support. Joe & Jennifer Tau Tau Skin

My skin feels comfortable all day now. That used to not be the case at all.

Nourishing Face Balm

Love this product!!!! Makes my whole body GLOW!!!

Nourishing Face Balm

I’m a man and I use this after shaving. No burn, no redness, nothing.

Nourishing Face Balm

Vanilla Whisper - Whipped Body Butter

Love this stuff! Texture is perfect for after bath time. Expensive, but worth it.
