The Purist – Unscented Whipped Tallow Lotion

The Purist: unscented whipped tallow lotion, just grass-fed tallow and organic olive oil. No beefy smell, no fragrance. 2 oz $13, Central Coast, California.

Two ingredients. Nothing to hide. The Purist is pasture-raised, grass-fed beef tallow whipped with certified organic olive oil into an airy, buttery lotion. It has no essential oils, no fragrance and no fillers. It's the jar for faces, scent-sensitive people, and anyone who wants the simplest thing on their skin.

People worry it'll smell like beef. It doesn't. You may notice a faint, clean, natural scent that fades as it sinks in. A pea-sized amount covers your whole face, and the 4 oz jar is $26, about $6.50 an ounce. It's hand-whipped in small batches in Santa Maria, on the Central Coast of California.

Ingredients: pasture-raised grass-fed beef tallow, certified organic olive oil.

FAQ
Does unscented tallow smell like beef? Not beefy. You may catch a faint, clean natural scent that fades within minutes.
Will it feel greasy on my face? Use less than you think. A pea-sized amount, warmed first, sinks in with a soft, satin finish.
Will it cause breakouts? Everyone's skin is different. Patch test on your inner arm or jawline for a few days first.
It arrived soft. Is it ruined? No. Tallow softens in heat. Let the jar cool upright in the fridge for about an hour.
