What’s the Best Natural Alternative to Moisturizer for Dry or Sensitive Skin?

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or irritated — especially after using store-bought moisturizers — you’re not alone. A growing number of people are searching for simpler, more natural alternatives to commercial creams that actually work.

At Lulu’s Untainted Tallow, we make old-world, multi-use skincare using just a handful of ingredients — starting with organic, grass-fed beef tallow rendered right here in South Gippsland, Victoria.

But why tallow? And what can you use it for?

Let’s break it down.


What Is Tallow Balm Used For?

Our customers use tallow balm and tallow cream for everything from:

  • Nourishing dry hands, heels, and elbows
  • Calming irritated or eczema-prone skin
  • Moisturizing after sun exposure
  • Soothing nappy rash or dribble rash
  • A clean, natural alternative to petroleum-based products
  • Lip balm, face cream, foot salve — even leather and wood conditioning

Each tin is a multi-use staple — handmade, non-toxic, and safe for the whole family (including pets).


Is Tallow Good for Eczema and Psoriasis?

Yes — many of our customers find relief from flare-ups using our Velvet Bloom or Tallowease balms.

Tallow closely mimics the skin’s natural oils, making it:

  • Easily absorbed
  • Non-irritating
  • Deeply nourishing
  • Naturally anti-inflammatory (rich in vitamins A, D, E & K)

We don’t add fillers, synthetics, or harsh preservatives — just what your skin needs to heal and stay hydrated.

Can I Use Tallow Cream on My Baby?

Absolutely. Our Soothing Baby Balm is formulated with gentle ingredients:

  • Organic grass-fed beef tallow
  • Organic olive oil
  • Calendula, chamomile & lavender
  • A touch of beeswax and vitamin E for extra protection

It’s ideal for:

  • Nappy rash
  • Cradle cap
  • Dry cheeks and lips
  • Overall baby massage

Parents love it for being simple, pure, and effective.

What Is the Best Moisturizer for Men Who Don’t Like Greasy Products?

If you’re looking for something lightweight, effective, and no-fuss — we’ve got you covered.

Our Forest Fresh Tallow Cream is:

  • Naturally scented with sweet orange, vanilla, frankincense & ylang ylang
  • Quickly absorbed
  • Zero greasiness
  • Great for face, hands, beard, or post-shave

It comes in a 30ml or 60ml tin — easy to throw in the gym bag, glove box, or toolbox.

Can I Use Tallow on My Pets?

Yes! Our Pet Balm is safe for cats, dogs, and other furry friends. It’s perfect for:

  • Cracked paw pads
  • Dry noses
  • Hot spots or skin irritation
  • After grooming or in harsh weather

It’s made with:

  • Organic tallow
  • Organic olive oil
  • Calendula infusion
  • Beeswax (optional in some batches)

Does Tallow Smell Bad?

No — we render our tallow in small batches using traditional methods that remove impurities and leave it with a neutral scent.

Many of our creams are unscented or lightly fragranced with pure essential oils — no fake perfumes or overpowering smells.

We also offer:

  • Scent-free options for sensitive skin
  • Botanically scented options like Lavender, Geranium, Patchouli, and more

Everything is designed to feel good, smell gentle, and nourish your skin — not mask it.


How Long Does a Tin Last?

That depends on how often you use it — but most customers find our creams go a long way.

  • 30ml tins last around 4–6 weeks with daily use on face and hands
  • 60ml tins are great for full-body moisturizing, lasting 6–10 weeks

Because it’s so concentrated (no water fillers!), one swipe is often enough.


Where Are Lulu’s Untainted Tallow Products Made?

Every product is:

  • Handmade in Frankston, Victoria
  • Rendered in small batches using local, grass-fed beef suet
  • Poured by hand
  • Packaged in eco-friendly tins and bottles
  • Always tested on humans (never animals)

We’re a small, family-run business with a big love for traditional, effective skincare — the kind your great-grandmother might have used.
