Description

Beef tallow hair clay gives you strong, natural hold with a clean matte finish.

It is infused with egg yolk oil and rendered beef tallow. Together they style your hair while conditioning it. You get control that still feels soft and natural.

This is a natural hair clay for men who want real texture. It shapes short and medium styles all day. No stiffness, no crunch, no helmet feel.

Most pomades feel waxy and leave a greasy shine. Many clays dry your hair out. This one works with your hair, not against it. Just a matte finish with no synthetic junk.

Natural clays do the work. Kaolin and bentonite build grip and hold. Arrowroot cuts shine for a true matte look. Light coconut, castor, and jojoba oils keep it smooth.

A little goes a long way, so start small. Grass-fed tallow keeps it honest and simple. Good hair clay should style your hair and support it too.

Tallow hair clay vs. pomade: pomade adds shine and slides as the day goes on. This tallow hair clay holds matte and stays put. You get all-natural hold without the greasy pomade look.

Beef Tallow, Beeswax, Castor Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Arrowroot Powder, Egg Yolk Oil, Vitamin E, Fragrance

WHY IT WORKS:
Built for a true matte finish with real hold and texture. Tallow keeps it smooth and easy to apply, while beeswax and castor oil lock in control without stiffness.

Lightweight oils keep it from dragging or feeling greasy. You get a clay that works through your hair easily, styles clean, and stays put all day.

No shine. No fluff. Just a solid matte clay that does its job.

Softening The Brillo Pad

My beard is very coarse and gets very much like a Brillo pad - especially after swimming in a chlorine filled pool during the summer. I've tried a bunch of products on it, but I find beard oils to be, well, oily. And nothing I've tried either works or maybe it would work but I find it unenjoyable to use. Been using the tallow beard balm now for a bit and it works! And, it's not oily or unenjoyable to use. Also as a bonus it keeps my lips moist! :)

Conditions my beard and skin without feeling greasy

I've tried a lot of different beard oils and balms over the years, and one thing I always hated was how greasy my hands felt after applying them. Moose Tallow has been completely different. It absorbs well, doesn't leave that oily residue behind, and keeps both my beard and skin feeling great.

Since I started using it, I've noticed the skin on my face is less dry and my beard dandruff has completely disappeared. The quality is obvious, and a little goes a long way. As an added bonus, my wife loves the scent, which is always a win in my book.

If you're looking for a beard product that actually conditions your beard and skin without feeling greasy, I highly recommend giving Moose Tallow a try.

Finally Found a Hair Clay Better Than American Crew

I picked up the Medium Hold Hair Clay and honestly wish I had tried it sooner. Once I finally used it, I haven’t stopped. The Spicy Rum scent smells amazing without being overpowering. What surprised me most is how natural it feels. It isn’t tacky or greasy, but it still gives a solid hold. I can run my fingers through my hair and it still keeps its shape. I used American Crew for years and this tallow hair clay works way better for me. Great texture, clean feel, and easy styling.

Great Beard Balm

This beard balm has a great smell. It has enough hold to control beard and mustache hairs but is still soft. It also feels moisturizing too.

Works well on my goatee helping it to quickly keep its pointed shape. I also use it on fly-away hairs on my head.

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, but Moose’s Tallow has truly been a full 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 eliminated processed foods and focused on real ingredients, another question came up: if what we eat matters that much… what about what we put on our skin?

With a busy home full of people I love, that question mattered a lot. When my daughters told me they were already using tallow for skincare, I decided to learn how to make it myself.

What began as a small project to make better skincare just for my family to bless them eventually turned into something much bigger.
