Great product, poor shipping
This product is great EXCEPT it arrived having melted into the cap and has a grainy texture (photo). I opted to send it back and received my replacement today. Unfortunately, it arrived in the exact same condition. The product has melted into the cap and texture is grainy. I will keep both as the product is great but I won't be reordering until they can figure out how to ship their lip balms without it melting. I've ordered other tallow lip balms and they didn't melt during shipping.

No more split lips!!
Living in New England means dealing with really dry winters. Consequently, good hand lotion and lip balm makes a tremendous difference. Whereas Chapstick and many other common brands contain alcohols which can perpetuate problems, this Beef Tallow lip balm is the best I’ve found at preventing split lips.

Lip balm
I had low expectations about this lip balm but after using it, my expectations are higher. I like how my lips are not only moisted but softer as well. Trust and believe, a little goes a long way.

Pass
Our family is just getting started on the tallow journey so we’re learning. I have a son that deals with chapped lips continually so I thought I’d give this a shot. We were both horribly disappointed. Upon opening the balm a huge portion was smashed up into the lid. This is defeating the purpose of a lip balm. Also the texture is weird. It is crumbly and not able to spread easily. I hope this is a one off and not a tallow balm norm.

Love this so much
Big, chonky lip balm! I am one of those people who cannot have dry lips, so I am always applying lip balms. I put this one on before bed and again in the morning and have noticed my lips stay moisturized and soft longer and I do not need to apply my usual lip balm nearly as much throughout the day. Disclaimer: this lip balm is literally tallow/fat/oil, so I do not carry it in my pocket or purse as I am pretty sure it may melt.
