Hair that holds from the morning meeting to the evening pour. A clay pomade with firm, all-day grip and a true matte finish.

A matte hair clay for men who want real hold without shine or stiffness.

Warm a small amount between your palms and work it through dry hair. It locks short and medium styles into a true matte finish with firm control. A little goes far, so start small. It grips all day without the greasy shine.

Kaolin and bentonite build the hold, while arrowroot cuts every trace of shine. Beef tallow and egg yolk oil condition your hair as you style, so nothing dries out or crunches. Coconut, castor, and jojoba keep it easy to work.

This is our Stronger Matte Hold, for guys who want more texture without stiffness and less shine than our Medium. It washes out with shampoo and leaves no heavy buildup.

Tallow Beard balm is great

I have a long full beard. The hair becomes stressed and wirey after months of combing and brushing. Adding beard balm to my daily product mix has softened and nourished the beard hair back into a more pleasant beard (visually and to the touch). I am reordering this product!

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!

Love this stuff. Easy to work into hair and has a great all day hold. The scented version is fantastic.

Great product!

My husband likes how it tames his hair!

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.

What We Believe

✓Real clay and tallow hold better than petroleum jelly ever could, so that's what we use.
✓A pomade should condition your hair while it holds, not just coat it in wax.
✓Small batches mean your tin is the same real recipe every time, not a cheaper version for scale.

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?

After I mastered Whipped Tallow Body Butter, I wanted to keep changing things. I kept looking at the hair styling product I was using. It was a blue goo that dried like plastic.

I wondered if there was a better way to hold hair in place. Not with the petroleum and chemicals most clays and pomades use.

That's where our Hair Clay and Beard Balm came from. A real desire to make a hair clay and beard balm that actually work.

Key Ingredients

Kaolin Clay Kaolin ClayA soft, natural clay valued for gentle oil control. It absorbs excess oil and adds a smooth, matte feel. In our hair clay it builds grip and a low-shine, workable texture, without drying out hair or skin.
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.
Bentonite Clay Bentonite ClayA mineral-rich clay formed from volcanic ash, prized for soaking up oil and adding grip and structure. In our hair clay it helps hold a style and gives a cleaner, matte finish, working alongside kaolin for all-day hold.
Egg Yolk Oil Egg Yolk OilInfused in-house by drawing the nourishing oils from dried egg yolks into light coconut oil. Yolks are naturally rich in fatty acids and skin-loving vitamins, so the oil deeply conditions and leaves skin and lips soft and resilient. An old-world ingredient, made the slow way.
Jojoba Oil Jojoba OilA liquid wax that closely mirrors the oil your own skin makes. Because it is so similar, it absorbs easily, balances moisture, and softens without clogging pores. In our balms and hair products it adds a light, silky conditioning. Ours is organic and cold-pressed.
