Blue Lotus Hydrating Tallow Balm
Discover the ultimate in skin hydration and rejuvenation with our Blue Lotus Hydrating Tallow Balm. This luxurious blend features 100% grass-fed and finished wagyu beef tallow, complemented by the nourishing power of jojoba oil, infused with the delicate Blue Lotus flower (Nymphaea cerulea)—all organic and carefully chosen to provide your skin with ultra-hydration.
Blue Lotus is revered for its potent skin benefits, naturally rich in polysaccharides and flavonoids, which help lock moisture into the skin while promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. The flower is known for its ability to regulate sebum production, making this balm an excellent choice for those with oilier skin types. By balancing the skin's natural oils, it helps to maintain a smooth, non-greasy finish, while still delivering the hydration your skin needs.
The rich wagyu beef tallow at the base of this balm is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, which work together to repair, restore, and hydrate your skin. Tallow’s bio-compatible nature allows it to absorb quickly and deeply, helping to replenish dry skin while maintaining the skin’s natural barrier.
Whether you’re dealing with dryness, uneven skin tone, or just in need of a luxurious boost of moisture, this balm offers the perfect solution, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and deeply nourished.

And why do I call it 'ancestral?
No, it isn't just a buzzword. Tallow, and fats of animal origin were used as skin care and medicine for generations before the industrial revolution. In Sally Fallon's book 'Nourishing Fats' she outlines the rise of seed oils which were made to look appealing to the then modern housewife.
In this greater move away from the wild, the village and nature's way, animal fats were easily replaced by these mechanically derived oils (previously only used as machinery lubricants). The effects have made themselves known over the past decades as disease, digestive issues and obesity have spiked dangerously and the demonised animal fat consumption is at an all-time low.
Now, this may be particularly true for nourishment, ie what we choose to consume...but what if we viewed anything we put in, on or near our bodies as consumption?
In reality we are very closely linked to our environment, and our skin, the largest organ of absorption and boundary between inside and outside on the physical layer of things, needs the same kind of care and attention to what goes into our stomach.
This is why I strive to find the best quality suppliers for the suet I use to make Freya's Kitchen Tallow Balm! I source only from high-welfare, organic and free range pastures for life cattle.
It is so important to me that the animals providing us with their medicine for our nourishment and thrival be honoured and get to live the best lives they can-as close to how nature intends as possible.

Animal and Plant medicine maker
Hello, I'm Fiona, one of your friendly neighbourhood medicine makers!
I work with both plant and animal medicine in the native American sense of the inner gift or essence that a particular being holds and has to offer to those who need it.
I started making Tallow after my very first lesson in compassionate butchery where I identified the suet in the beautiful doe our friend harvested in the mountains of Scotland. I had read about it and of course watched a million YouTube videos about how to best make tallow, what parts of the animal should be used and what precise process needed to be carried out.
This deer, and a very special plant guide-mugwort made up the very first venison tallow balm. I have learned so much since then! There have been challenges and incredible rewards, and I continue to hone this craft today!
What a gift to be able to use parts of the animal.that would normally be thrown away and wasted, to create something with such goodness, nourishing power and healing ability.
Grateful to mother nature for her abundance, skillful means and creative force, I am inspired by her (and as her) daily.
