miner's rescue™ tallow skin balm
MOISTURIZING LEVEL 3
Suitable for: all skin types including sensitive
Target skin: dry, barrier-compromised
An offshoot of my botanical product line, this rich tallow-based formula was handcrafted long before tallow became mainstream. Inspired by northern Manitoba miners, it’s a deeply protective and nourishing balm suitable for all skin—especially sensitive or compromised types.
Made with slow-rendered, grass-fed suet tallow (not fat trimmings) and organic ingredients, it’s free from fragrance, essential oils, petroleum, and preservatives.
Packed with vitamins A, D, E, K, and essential fatty acids, it absorbs easily to support real skin repair and hydration. Cocoa butter adds warmth and additional moisture. Unlike synthetic products, tallow closely matches the skin’s natural composition, allowing nutrients to absorb deeply rather than just sit on the surface.
Sourced from ethically raised Saskatchewan grass-fed cattle and carefully purified to retain its benefits, this zero-waste ingredient is transformed into a powerful, skin-loving balm.

Balms and ointments shipped during summer months may soften or melt during transport. I may use additional insulation or cold packs to try to maintain temperatures, however, melting may not be preventable. Please consider ordering these items during cooler weather. If your balm or ointment arrives soft, place it in the refrigerator to solidify. Products containing natural butters like shea or cocoa may change texture and become grainy after melting. This does not affect their usability or safety.
Reviews
So many tallow products now it's getting hard to know what to try. A friend put me onto this and I'm so glad. Smells like chocolate and natural, no added fragrances like other brands. It's so smooth and soaks in really well. I tried a couple that were twice the price and they were so greasy and wouldn't absorb after a whole day. Heals my dry skin, great under my eyes before bed and on my kids faces when they get dry and red from the cold.
This stuff is the real deal. Dried cracking and bleeding skin on my hands from the winter dryness. Within 3 days the soreness in my skin had completely dissappear and within the week my hands were better than ever.
Tried so many other hand creams that didnt work just kept my hands slippery, this stuff is magic!
