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.
Organic grass-fed tallow (never bleached or deodorized)The fat-soluble base. Lipid profile closest to your own skin's, so it absorbs into the lips instead of coating the surface.
Organic beeswaxForms a breathable seal that holds moisture in without suffocating your lips. Doesn't melt off in heat or wear off in minutes.
Organic jojoba oilMimics your skin's natural sebum so closely it absorbs completely. No slick, no clogging, no residue.
Organic castor oilThe reason for the soft, cushioned finish. A natural humectant that pulls moisture in and gives the balm its slight plumping effect.
Cruelty-free New Zealand lanolinWool-derived occlusive that holds up to twice its weight in moisture. NZ sourcing means no mulesing and no chemical residues. The most effective natural alternative to petroleum.
Non-GMO vitamin EAntioxidant. Protects the formula from oxidation and your lips from environmental damage.
CO₂-extracted organic vanillaCO₂ extracted for purity. Subtler and clean. The barely-there note, by design.
Always formulated with intention.
No parabens. No phthalates. No sulfates, SLS, or synthetic fragrance.
If it's harmful or doesn't belong on skin, it isn't in our formulas.

Try it for 60 days. If your lips don't feel softer and more comfortable, we'll refund every penny.
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.
CO₂-extracted vanilla provides a barely-there warmth. Just enough to catch, never enough to taste artificial.

"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.
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.
Use it for a full 60 days. If your lips don't feel softer and more comfortable, email us and we'll refund every penny.
Comfort You'll Feel Quickly
Most people feel the difference within the first few days. Softer, more comfortable lips that stop begging for a reapply. You'll know whether it's a fit long before the guarantee expires.
Seven Ingredients. Full Stop.
Tallow. Beeswax. Castor oil. Lanolin. Jojoba oil. Vitamin E. CO₂-extracted vanilla. That is the complete formula. Nothing hidden in a proprietary blend. Nothing you need a chemistry degree to assess.
The guarantee is simple.

I absolutely love these products! I would add a video, but I’m a little camera shy. I use it every day and my makeup goes in smooth! My face feels and looks better! I will re order.
I love tau tau! It’s been a couple of weeks and my body and face love love love it too! It’s clean and simple. Couldn’t imagine a better combo! I cannot wait to see what tau tau cooks up next !!
Absolutely amazing skincare! I love everything about the Youth Alchemy: Natural Retinol Alternative from the cute tin in comes in to the way it makes my skin feel and look! I have noticed more even skin tone, the lines and wrinkles smoothing out and an overall glow to my face, neck and chest. So thankful that I found this product!
This stuff is AMAZINGGGG!!! It makes your skin SO soft and silky, im obsessed! I had lines on ny chest from over the years of tanning and let me tell you, after only ONE week they are barely noticeable!! I use it twice a day morning and night, and a little goes a long way! I will NEVER go without this!! Best whipped body butter ever!!! 10 stars!!!!

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.
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!)
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.
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!
My skin has never felt more refreshed!!!! I talk about TAU TAU to everyone. It’s seriously so good and I am so glad I found it while getting ready for my wedding!!
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!

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!
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.
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.

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!
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.
