Ingredients: Grass-fed beef tallow, organic castor oil, organic olive oil infused with organic whole frankincense tears.Ā Size: 2 oz glass jar Shelf Life: Use within 24 months
Our Tallow & Castor Oil Face Restore is a rich, deeply restorative facial balm crafted with a small but powerful blend of ancestral and time-tested ingredients. This unique formula contains no essential oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin and anyone seeking a pure, minimalist routine.
The frankincense tears are slow infused directly into organic olive oil, offering a broader spectrum of skin benefits than essential oil alone. Unlike steam-distilled essential oil, frankincense tears retain therapeutic resins, boswellic acids, and polysaccharides, compounds known to soothe inflammation, support regeneration, and improve skin tone and elasticity.
Why We Love It:
Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K for deep nourishment
Castor oil supports skin repair, improves texture, and promotes circulation
Safe for sensitive skin. No essential oils, no synthetic fragrance
May have a natural tallow scent.Ā slightly earthy, buttery, and grassy. This is completely normal and a beautiful sign that youāre using a clean, whole-ingredient product.
Store in a cool, dry place and use within 24 months
A little goes a long way. this balm melts into the skin and absorbs beautifully
Our Tallow Quality Promise
We do not use commercially purchased or deodorized tallow. Many mass-produced tallow products are rendered at very high temperatures, then deodorized and sometimes bleached to remove natural scent and color. This process strips away many of the delicate, skin-loving nutrients that make real tallow so beneficial in the first place.
At Herb House Apothecary, we use only pure suet, never meat trimmings, sourced from a trusted local farm right here in Central New York. We render it ourselves in small batches at low, controlled temperatures to preserve its natural integrity, vitamins, and fatty acid profile. Every jar is handcrafted in our home with care, intention, and respect for the animal.
This is real, traditional tallow, the way it was meant to be.
A Note About Summer Heat:
Please note this is a natural, tallow and oil-based product. With warmer weather, keep it out of direct sunlight or hot cars just in case, and get to your mailbox ASAP. itās still fully usable if softened, just stick it in a cool location to firm it back up. Consistency will change in high or low temperatures. this is a natural, oil-based product with no stabilizers or fillers!
People are commenting that it looks like Iām wearing makeup when Iām not wearing any makeup when I use the face restore product. My chapped nose has healed and feels like it has a wonderful moisture barrier. At first, I was really skeptical because Iām a vegetarian and I didnāt want to use animal-based products, but this tallow castor oil experience makes sense to me when I think about our origins. Face restore by herb house apothecary is truth you can feel!

I love the face restore! It feels great on my skin and a little goes a long way.
I have been unable to adequately put castor oil in my skincare routine. It has always been too sticky, but the long-lasting moisture from castor oil added to tallow is next level. Face Restore and Blossom Balm have successfully and beautifully combined tallow & castor oil, and my skin LOVES it. Dare I say, this 64-year old woman has glowing skin again.
The restore cream is great! It smells different to the chubby stick but it works great. A little really goes a long way but it will melt into your skin and in the morning your skin is still sikly soft. Just started using it, so im waiting to see how it will wotk on dark marks.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so thrilled to hear you enjoy the face restore as much as we do!
This is one of the few products I use on my face. Iāve tossed all the commercial stuff and use Face restore as my lotion replacement. My face has never been better and it is the smoothest itās ever been as well. Love it.
I Love This Product! Will Reorder! Another thing ,,,,, I like Knowing what is in the products I purchase are not going to hurt my body ! Like the Big Retail and Pharma Products with all their chemical Additives!!!!
I KNOW WHAT I AM GETTING FROM HERE IS SAFE !!!!!
AND GOOD FOR ME!!!
Thank Y'all For everything!
This face cream melts into my skin as soon as I put it on. It moisturizes all day long and never feels greasy. I will be purchasing the 4 ounce jar next time.
I love this new face restore lotion. I have super dry, aging skin and I have been using this lotion at night and then ising Sara's Youth Portion in the mornings. My skin looks amazing. I have also been using it in my hands and my desert dry hands are looking better too.
I was hesitant to try this honestly bc of what it is, but I received a sample and gave it a shot and I am telling you, this is the BEST stuff! Iāve since bought a bigger container and love it. Iāve had bad patches of eczema around my eyes ever since my daughter was born and this is the only product that has completely healed this sensitive area. I also use it on my entire face and can see such a more even skin tone. Saraās products are wonderful!
I loved this product in the summer after a day in the sun and now I really like it after a cold snowy windy day. It really replenishes my skin. This winter has been exceptionally snowy and cold in the mountains where I live. I usually use it on my face but I have been using it on my hands and legs too. Itās creamy and non greasy but has a nice weight to it. I love the ratios that Sara puts into her mixtures. It is the correct recipe for me!! Extremely pleased.
I live in upstate NY and get dry skin pretty bad especially during the winters we get up here. This keeps my face moisturized all day long for a full 24 hours and i just love it
I love the way it makes my skin feel!! Its smooth and glowing!! To be honest I thought it would have a more whipped consistency, it does feel a little grainy but once you work into your hands or face its melts right in!!

Thank you for your review!! We are looking into adding a 4 oz option so keep your eyes peeled!! ā¤ļø
I use Saraās Potion on my face but love using this tallow on my wrinkles as extra moisturizer. During colder months or when I feel my skin is dehydrated I use it to help with that as well.
This is only my second tallow brand that Iāve tried and I love this one! Iām very acne prone and this stuff seems to soothe my redness that I constantly have. I feel like a kid in my skin again, so happy and free!
My face loves it! My skin is so soft, my wrinkles are not as pronounced. I've only used it for a little while so I can't wait to see how my skin improves. It's not heavy and a little bit goes a long way.
Tallow & Castor Oil Face Restore
I've been using this product for a while and really like how it feels on my skin. It leaves my face feeling soft, nourished, and deeply hydrated without being greasy or heavy. It's clear that the ingredients are doing something good.
That said, the scent is not my favorite. The natural "cooked fat" smell can be a bit strong. If I could change one thing, Iād add a light, natural fragranceāmaybe lavender or orangeāto help mask that scent without interfering with the productās purity.
Overall, it's a great product for hydration and skin health. A little scent tweak would make it even better.
