Let customers speak for us
I've tried many skin care products over the years due to having sensitive/ dry skin. But most either leave a greasy residue or, with some other tallow products, have a slightly unpleasant scent. A friend recommended this to me and I've been extremely happy with the results. It has a silky smooth feel and is easily applied. The aromas are very pleasant and it feels light on my skin. It has really improved my dry skin. 100% recommend
I have been using Alben for a few days now. I don't have skin conditions as such, but my aging skin is very dry and in some places quite flaky. This tallow is making such a difference, my skin is so much smoother and the flakiness and itch of those patches already almost gone. Only a tiny amount is needed, a little really goes a long way. I use it morning and night on my face and neck and any dry areas. Any residue left on my hands is massaged in as a hand cream and feels lovely. As a bonus the scent is very pleasant.
Can not recommend this product enough. Unlike many other products on the market using tallow this one smells divine due to the use of essential oils. I love the fact it uses all natural ingredients . A little product goes a long way and after the very fist use my skin felt really hydrated and smooth and not oily as other products have left my skin feeling. I have also started using it on my little one who gets ezcema and already a noticeable difference. Exellent product with prompt delivery.
A friend recommended Alben tallow cream when discussing the problems in managing eczema. I had been using a Tallow cream from another company, but found it quite thick to apply and my wife joked that i smelt like a roast beef dinner! However, Alben tallow is amazing for several reasons. Its texture makes it light and easy to apply, I have a short beard which other creams get clogged up in, but this stuff is absorbed quickly on face, beard and neck. Also the product that is left on your hands is quickly absorbed (other one used left a greasy residue that needed washing off). It also smells amazing, I love it and my wife thinks it's great! It's a winner all round - well done Alben Skincare, this product is definitely helping my problematic skin and makes me happy!
5 stars. I've been dealing with a persistent red rash on my chest for a while now and this tallow balm has been a lifesaver. It took about 4 weeks to see the full result, so you have to be patient, but the difference is night and day. My skin feels much healthier and the redness is completely gone. If you have sensitive skin or a rash that won't budge, definitely give this a try.
What is real tallow?
Tallow is rendered animal fat, and it has been used in traditional skincare for generations. At Alben we use only purified kidney suet (Adeps Bovis) from British cattle raised on pasture. We render it slowly to remove impurities, then whip it with cold-pressed botanical oils like jojoba and rosehip into a rich, absorbable balm.
Every jar begins with traceable British suet, so we know the farm and field it comes from.
Why a waterless balm?
Lotions are usually a blend of water and oils, held together with emulsifiers. Alben is different: it's a waterless balm made only from fats and oils. That makes it rich and concentrated, so you only need a small amount, about the size of a pea.
Where our tallow comes from
We source our suet from British cattle raised on pasture. Choosing a traceable local supplier means we know where each jar's main ingredient comes from. Add "organic" only if you hold your supplier's certification.
Rich Moisture for Dry Skin
Tallow is a rich, traditional moisturiser that helps lock moisture in. Use it on dry hands, elbows, heels, face and body. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips until it melts, then press it into clean skin.
Why tallow?
Tallow is made of fatty acids, including stearic and oleic acid, that are also found naturally in skin. People have used it in skincare for generations, and today many love it for its rich, nourishing feel.
