Tallow Balm for Eczema & Psoriasis

This artisanal balm has been specifically developed for the care of skin prone to eczema and psoriasis, combining grass-fed tallow from the Azores with macerated chamomile and plantain. Although formulated for the body, this balm can also be used on the face, provided that the skin tolerates olive oil well.

A little goes a long way: a small amount is enough to perform its function, making the product last a long time. Shelf life of 6 months after opening.

Tallow has a biocompatible lipid structure that reinforces the skin barrier and supports long-lasting hydration (Russell et al., 2024; Kowalska et al., 2017). Chamomile is widely recognised for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, helping to reduce redness, itching and discomfort associated with reactive skin (Akram et al., 2024). Studies indicate that it may offer improvements in cases of eczema, helping to restore skin balance and the skin's barrier function (Zari & Zari, 2015). Plantain is described in the scientific literature for its anti-inflammatory, soothing and antioxidant properties, associated with the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and mucilages (Dawid-Pać, 2013; Kósa et al., 2021). These compounds contribute to skin comfort, helping to soothe sensitive and fragile skin, as well as to reinforce the skin barrier. Traditionally used in the care of irritated skin, plantain also has an emollient and protective action, supporting skin regeneration and the reduction of inflammation in conditions such as eczema and psoriasis (Dawid-Pać, 2013; Derakhshanfar et al., 2019; Chiang et al., 2002). Please note that the presence of plantain may, in some cases, increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. We therefore recommend preferential application at night or in areas not directly exposed to intense sunlight.

Extra virgin olive oil acts as an emollient and nourishing agent, helping to soften the skin and preserve its elasticity. Beeswax forms a natural protective barrier that seals in moisture and protects the skin from external aggressions, favouring an environment conducive to skin regeneration.

Ingredients:  Tallow (Grass-Fed Tallow from the Azores), Matricaria recutita (Chamomile), Plantago Lanceolata (Plantain), Olea Europaea Fruit Oil (Extra Virgin Olive Oil), Cera Alba (Beeswax from the Azores).

How to Use:  With the skin still damp, apply a small amount and massage gently. The balm forms a protective layer that seals in the moisture the skin needs. For better skin tolerance, we recommend application during periods without direct sun exposure, such as at the end of the day or at night.

Store in a cool, dry place. 

Precautions for Use:  For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In case of irritation, discontinue use. The presence of plantain may, in some cases, increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. We therefore recommend preferential application at night or in areas not directly exposed to intense sunlight.

Note: As this is an artisanal product, natural variations may occur between batches.
