Okay, so I've been using this beef tallow balm for about a month now, and here's the tea ☕️.
First off - the texture is THICK. Like, 'spreadable candle wax' thick. It feels gritty at first but melts into your skin after some rubbing. Pro tip: use less than you think you need!
The hydration is LEGIT. My chronically dry elbows haven't looked this good since... ever? It definitely lives up to the 24-hour moisture claim, especially during these winter months.
About the scent - it's STRONG. The vanilla-lavender combo reminds me of my grandma's perfume (in both good and bad ways). If you're sensitive to smells, maybe test this first.
I haven't noticed dramatic wrinkle reduction yet, but my skin does look plumper and more even-toned. My husband even randomly complimented my 'glow' last week!
The jar will last forever - a little goes a long way. Just be prepared for some greasiness if you overapply.
Final verdict? 4/5 stars - loses a point for the overpowering scent, but otherwise a solid natural moisturizer.
