Hand Repair Myths

  • Tallow hand balms leave your hands greasy.Our tallow hand cream matches the oils your skin naturally produces. Combined with arrowroot powder, this natural hand cream absorbs comfortably without leaving hands slick.
  • Cracked hands need prescription creams to improve.Deep moisture and barrier support are usually what’s missing. As a hand cream for cracked hands, tallow, lanolin, calendula, and beeswax replenish dry, overworked skin.
  • Natural hand balms don’t last through real work.Beeswax creates a breathable barrier that stays put through real work, making this the best hand cream for dry skin and a dependable hand cream for dry hands.
  • Lanolin just sits on top of your skin.Lanolin is one of nature’s most effective moisturizers, helping soften rough skin while reducing moisture loss.
  • Once hands get rough, that’s just part of the job.Mechanics, woodworkers, farmers, knitters, healthcare workers, gardeners, and tradespeople don’t have to settle for dry, uncomfortable hands.
  • Small-batch skincare can’t compete with the big brands.Moose’s Tallow is a family-run maker in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. We handcraft this hand cream in small batches, the same as everything we make. Small batches mean tighter quality control, no fillers, and no cutting corners for shelf life. You get skin care made by people who answer you, not a factory line.

I’ve received so many compliments

Fresh Strawberries just has such a nostalgic smell to my childhood of strawberry shortcake. It is so wonderful, and ever since I started using this product, I’ve received so many compliments on this particular product. I think they need to come up with a bigger tub of it, like a huge tub!

The Glow Speaks For Itself

I just got Moose’s Tallow Vanilla Ember Body Butter, and it is so soft. It literally looks like butter and feels so good.

It’s a wonderful, clean moisturizer that smells delicious and leaves my skin feeling hydrated.

If you’re thinking about trying tallow skincare, I highly recommend Moose’s Tallow. I love the Vanilla Ember scent—it’s one of the warmer scents and smells so good.

The glow it gives my skin is incredible. I cannot recommend this enough.

Keeps my skin deeply hydrated

This body butter works amazing for my dry skin. It keeps my skin deeply hydrated and the scent is honestly one of my favorite parts. The caramel mocha smells so good, warm, rich, and comforting. I love putting it on because my skin feels great and I get to smell it throughout the day. Definitely one of my favorite products I’ve used.

Love This for My Hands (Massage Therapist Approved)

I love Moose’s Whipped Honeycomb Tallow. As a massage therapist, keeping my hands and forearms hydrated and soft is essential, and this body butter delivers. A little goes a long way, and after a couple weeks of use, I’m completely satisfied.

I’ve tried another tallow brand that smelled great at first but turned chemical over time. Moose’s has kept its warm vanilla chai scent consistently, which I really appreciate.

Five stars from me, and I’m confident it will be for you too.

It’s incredibly moisturizing without feeling greasy

Moose’s Tallow is honestly one of the best natural products I’ve used. It’s incredibly moisturizing without feeling greasy, and my skin feels softer and healthier after just a few uses. I love that it’s made from simple, natural ingredients. It gives me confidence in what I’m putting on my skin.  It also has a very clean and natural smell.
I highly recommend!

Great for dry feet

I got the lingonberry scent and love using it on my feet. Most lotions are thin and weak, but this balm absorbs slower and actually works. I apply it at night, put socks on, and it does the job.

OBSESSED!!!

OBSESSED WITH THIS!!!!!!! I tried other beef tallow lotions before and the smell made me so nauseous. I really wanted the benefits from the tallow but barfing was not worth it. But then I tried this and was pleasantly surprised how it didn’t have any after scent of beef. I have the honey apricot, it smells so incredible and leaves my skin feeling too soft and smooth. I keep it in my car and I use it every day!

Hydrated and healing

When I first tried Moosetallow, my hands had been dry and nearly cracking for days because my store bought lotion wasn’t hydrating enough. An hour after using Moosetallow my hands were already hydrated and healing! I appreciate that it isn’t oily and the mild apricot scent isn’t overpowering. I then bought one for everyone in my family and they love it too!

Lavender Vanilla body butter

I received the Lavender Vanilla body butter. Not 100% sure about it yet. It feels quite greasy on my face despite the tiny amount I use. Have decided to try using as my nite cream only. I love that their ingredients are simple and all natural without the heavy oils that other companies use. I am hoping to see the benefits and positive results.

Why I Started Making Tallow Skincare

Hi, my name is Brian, though around here I don’t mind being called Moose.

I’ve learned most of what I know about skincare from the women in my life, especially my wife and our four daughters. Moose’s Tallow has truly been a family project from the beginning.

I started making tallow skincare after a serious health scare forced me to rethink everything I put in my body. Once I focused on real ingredients, another question came up: if what we eat matters that much… what about what we put on our body?

Key Ingredients

  • Arnica-Infused Oil Arnica-Infused Oil Arnica-Infused OilOil we infuse ourselves by slowly steeping arnica flowers. Arnica has long been used in topical care, especially after hard work or a long day. It helps soothe and comfort tired, overworked skin. A simple, plant-based way to bring arnica to your routine.
  • Beef Tallow Beef Tallow Beef TallowRendered from high-quality beef suet, sourced locally when we can. It is naturally rich in skin-friendly fats and the vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because it mirrors your skin's own oils, it absorbs clean and holds moisture without feeling greasy. A simple, time-tested base with nothing synthetic.
  • Shea Butter Shea Butter Shea ButterA creamy butter pressed from the nuts of the shea tree, used for centuries to soothe and moisturize. Rich in fatty acids, it melts in to soften rough, dry skin and leaves it supple. Ours is naturally refined.
  • Lanolin Lanolin LanolinA natural wax gathered from sheep's wool, and one of nature's best moisture sealers. It locks water into the skin and helps block the dryness that cracks hands and lips. A traditional ingredient that simply works, used at just the right amount.
  • Calendula-Infused Oil Calendula-Infused Oil Calendula-Infused OilMade by slowly steeping calendula (marigold) flowers in a carrier oil. Calendula is one of the gentlest, most soothing plants in skincare, often chosen for sensitive or easily upset skin. In our balms it helps calm and comfort delicate areas.

Hand Repair Balm FAQ

Everything you need to know about our tallow-based hand balm for dry, rough, and hardworking hands.

What makes Hand Repair Balm different from hand lotion?

Unlike water-based lotions, Hand Repair Balm is a concentrated balm made with arnica-infused tallow, lanolin, calendula, and beeswax. It provides lasting moisture without needing frequent reapplication.

Will it leave my hands feeling greasy?

No. Arrowroot powder and our carefully balanced formula help create a more matte, comfortable finish that absorbs well without leaving hands overly slick.

Can I use it on cracked knuckles and cuticles?

Yes. Hand Repair Balm is especially useful on dry knuckles, cuticles, fingertips, and other rough areas that need extra attention.

Who is Hand Repair Balm made for?

It's ideal for mechanics, woodworkers, gardeners, knitters, crafters, healthcare workers, tradespeople, and anyone dealing with dry, rough, or cracked hands.

What are the benefits of arnica-infused tallow?

Arnica has traditionally been used to help soothe stressed skin, while tallow provides skin-compatible fats that help nourish and support the skin barrier.

How often should I apply it?

Use as needed throughout the day, especially after washing your hands. For intensive overnight moisture, apply a slightly thicker layer before bed.
