What West Des Moines’s weather asks of your skin
The Midwest is the classic chapped-skin climate: brutal winters, dry furnace heat, and wind straight across open country. Skin in West Des Moines cracks at the knuckles and stings on the cheeks by February. An occlusive fat is built for exactly that — it seals the barrier so cold and wind can’t keep pulling water out.
Why grass-fed tallow
It suits dry, tight, weather-worn skin best. If your skin runs oily, a little at night is plenty — tallow is rich, and the trick is using less than you think.

Does Mr. & Mrs. Tallow ship to West Des Moines, IA?

Is tallow good for skin in West Des Moines?
Hard winters, furnace heat, and open-country wind make this classic chapped-skin territory, and an occlusive fat like tallow is built for it. Patch-test to start.
What is tallow skincare?
Tallow is rendered beef fat. Its fatty-acid profile — mostly oleic, stearic, and palmitic — is close to the oils skin makes on its own, so it absorbs rather than sitting on top. Grass-fed tallow also carries the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
What is the difference between a tallow balm and lotion?
Most lotions are mostly water, held together with emulsifiers and preserved to stay shelf-stable. A tallow balm skips the water entirely — just rendered grass-fed fat, whipped soft — so a little goes further and the ingredient list stays short.
What is the difference between the His and Hers tallow balm?
Both use the same grass-fed tallow base. His is heavier and barely scented; Hers is whipped lighter and softened with a little honey.
Does tallow balm feel greasy?
Used right, no. Ours is whipped, and a pea-sized amount melts in and absorbs. If it feels greasy, that usually means you used too much — tallow is concentrated, so less is more.
