Complete Your Vanilla Ritual

Vanilla Infused 100% Beef Tallow Moisturiser

For those who love the purity and strength of grass-fed tallow but want their lip care to carry a soft, comforting vanilla warmth that completely masks any natural tallow scent. This is for those who want maximum nourishment in a single swipe with no compromises & no unnecessary additions, just a warm hint of real vanilla delicately infused through a deeply restorative balm.

We use 100% organic Madagascan vanilla beans, slow-infused directly into our grass-fed tallow for 24 hours to extract their rich, natural aroma. Madagascan vanilla is known for its deep, creamy complexity, just enough to make daily use feel soothing and subtly luxurious. Beyond the scent, vanilla carries calming antioxidants that support repair, reduce irritation, and bring comfort to dry or sensitive lips.


Key Ingredients & Their Benefits

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

Tallow forms the foundation of this balm. Its bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, K) and fatty acids mirror those naturally present in healthy skin, allowing it to melt in effortlessly and begin repairing immediately. Tallow softens dry or cracked lips, supports barrier function, and provides moisture that genuinely lasts without feeling greasy.

Sheep Lanolin

Lanolin binds and holds moisture within the skin, helping lips stay hydrated for hours. It restores flexibility, smooths rough texture, and supports natural healing. When paired with tallow, it creates a powerful, long-wearing balm that cushions and protects even in harsh weather.

Natural Beeswax

Beeswax offers light structure and breathable protection. It prevents moisture loss, shields the lips from wind and dryness, and helps the balm stay in place. Its gentle anti-inflammatory qualities also contribute to calmer, more resilient lip skin.

Organic Madagascan Vanilla Beans

Infused slowly to extract their aroma and antioxidant properties, vanilla gives the balm a warm, subtle scent that feels grounding and comforting. It naturally masks any tallow notes while supporting skin recovery and soothing irritation.


Perfect For:

Dry or Dehydrated Lips: Deeply replenishes and restores softness.

Sensitive or Easily Irritated Skin: A simple, minimal-ingredient formula that avoids common irritants.

Cracked or Peeling Lips: Helps strengthen the barrier and encourage smoothness.

Those Wanting a Natural Vanilla Scent: Created through real vanilla beans, not fragrance oils.

Anyone Seeking Long-Lasting Protection: Ideal for daily use, harsh climates, or prolonged dryness.

 


Why Tallow for Lip Care?

Our Vanilla-Infused Lip Balm is made with 100% grass-fed tallow, gently rendered to preserve its nutrients before being blended with lanolin, beeswax, and pure vanilla. No preservatives. No seed oils. No synthetic flavours or fragrances. Just bioavailable nourishment your lips immediately recognise.

Tallow doesn’t sit on top of the skin - it absorbs deeply, supporting natural repair, reducing irritation, and providing comfort that lasts well beyond application. Combined with lanolin and beeswax, it forms a protective, restorative balm that helps lips stay soft, smooth, and resilient.

Ingredients

  • 100% Grass Fed Beef Tallow
  • Organic Madagascan Vanilla Bean (Infused)
  • Lanolin
  • Beeswax

Why It Works

1. Bioavailable Lipids That Strengthen and Restore the Lip Barrier

Grass-fed beef tallow contains a blend of fatty acids that closely mirror the natural oils found in healthy human skin, making it exceptionally compatible with delicate lip tissue.

Key fatty acids include:

• Oleic Acid: Enhances absorption and helps the balm sink in rather than sit on the surface.
• Palmitic Acid: Supports barrier repair and helps the lips retain moisture for longer.
• Stearic Acid: Softens and smooths rough or cracked areas, improving overall texture.
• Linoleic Acid: Calms irritation and helps support natural repair processes.

Because these fatty acids match what the lips naturally need, they absorb quickly and deliver hydration that feels stable, not greasy.



2. Rich in Essential Fat-Soluble Vitamins

Tallow supplies a concentrated dose of vitamins that directly support lip health:

• Vitamin A: Encourages gentle renewal and helps restore smoothness.
• Vitamin D: Supports healing and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Vitamin E: Offers antioxidant defence and helps reduce irritation or sensitivity.
• Vitamin K: Helps support a more even, healthy appearance in damaged or stressed lip skin.

These nutrients work together to nourish, protect, and reinforce delicate lip tissue, making the balm effective for both daily maintenance and repair.



3. Long-Lasting Moisture Through Lanolin’s Water-Binding Properties

Lanolin is uniquely able to attract and hold water within the skin, helping the lips stay hydrated long after application. It reinforces the protective barrier, supports elasticity, and helps prevent recurring dryness or peeling.

When combined with tallow, it creates a deeply conditioning effect that helps the lips remain soft, flexible, and comfortable throughout the day.



4. Protective Support from Natural Beeswax

Beeswax forms a breathable, protective layer that shields the lips from wind, cold, and environmental dryness without feeling heavy. It helps the balm stay in place and prevents moisture from escaping, allowing the nourishing ingredients beneath to remain active for longer.

Its gentle anti-inflammatory nature also contributes to calm, soothed lips.



5. Calming Antioxidants from Whole Vanilla Beans

The 24-hour infusion of organic Madagascan vanilla beans provides more than a natural scent. Vanilla contains soothing antioxidants that help reduce irritation, support healing, and calm dryness or sensitivity. It brings a soft, comforting aroma while contributing to the balm’s overall restorative effect.



6. Minimal, Skin-Aligned Ingredients for Maximum Compatibility

With only four whole ingredients; tallow, lanolin, beeswax, and real vanilla. This formula avoids common irritants found in many lip products. The result is a balm that supports the lips’ natural function, reinforces the barrier, and provides moisture that lasts without reapplying constantly.

How To Use

Apply a small amount to the lips as needed throughout the day. The balm melts on contact, so a light swipe is enough to deliver full nourishment.

For best results:

• Use on clean lips to allow the tallow and lanolin to absorb fully.
• Reapply before exposure to wind, cold, or dry air for added protection.
• Apply a slightly thicker layer at night as an overnight conditioning treatment.
• Can also be used around the lip line to soften fine, dry areas.

The balm is concentrated, so each tin lasts longer than conventional lip products. Let it warm against the skin, and allow the natural ingredients to support repair and long-lasting moisture.

Skin Experience

Our 100% tallow formulas - like Pure Tallow Glow and Vanilla Infused Tallow - are dense and firm by nature. These recipes contain no carrier oils or additives, which means the texture is harder but melts directly into the skin on contact.

If you prefer a softer, more spreadable consistency, our balms made with added carrier oils (like Radiant Repair and Balancing Beauty) are whipped to be lighter, silkier, and easier to apply.

Each product offers a different skin feel, all intentionally formulated for different needs and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beef tallow is rendered fat from cattle, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids. Its composition closely resembles the natural oils found in human skin, making it an excellent moisturiser and skin barrier protector. In skincare, it’s used to deeply nourish, hydrate, and support skin health without synthetic additives.

Beef tallow has a low comedogenic rating, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores. It helps balance natural oil production, making it suitable even for acne-prone skin when used correctly.

Our beef tallow comes from a trusted local farm in Sunshine Coast, QLD. The cattle are 100% grass-fed, homegrown, and raised without hormones or antibiotics in a natural, stress-free environment. This ensures our tallow is nutrient-rich, ethical, and sustainably sourced.

Absolutely! Beef tallow is excellent for facial skin, providing deep hydration without clogging pores. It’s especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin and can even help soothe conditions like eczema or rosacea.

Store your Fat Lab skincare products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Our products are shelf-stable but keeping them at room temperature or cooler will ensure maximum freshness.

Unlike shea butter or coconut oil, beef tallow’s composition closely mimics human skin, making it more easily absorbed. It also provides a unique balance of vitamins and fatty acids that are particularly effective for long-lasting hydration and skin repair.

Yes, we use 100% grass-fed beef suet fat as the base of our skincare. Suet is the clean, hard fat found around the kidneys and loins of healthy, grass-fed cattle, known for being nutrient-dense and exceptionally pure. When it’s slowly rendered, it turns into tallow, a rich stable fat naturally packed with vitamins A, D, E and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and essential fatty acids that closely mirror the oils our skin produces on its own.

We choose suet because it creates a higher-grade tallow that’s cleaner, lighter and more stable than other fats. It absorbs effortlessly into the skin, delivers deep nourishment without synthetic additives, and supports the skin barrier in a way no plant or synthetic oil can. In short, suet is the gold standard of animal fats and the reason our tallow performs the way it does.

Our beef tallow is carefully rendered and refined to remove impurities and odours. While it has a mild, natural scent, we also blend it with essential oils or botanicals for a pleasant aroma in our skincare products.

Our beef tallow is not halal-certified. We source our suet from a small, local Queensland farm that raises 100% grass-fed, hormone-free cattle, but the animals are not processed under halal certification. While our products contain no pork or alcohol and are made from pure beef fat, we do not market them as halal.

Why Your Body

LOVES Tallow

It mirrors the skin’s own lipids

Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely resembles the fats found in healthy human skin. That similarity makes it easier for the skin to recognise and integrate, rather than treat it as something foreign.

It supports the skin barrier.

Tallow reinforces the lipid barrier that controls moisture loss and protection. When the barrier is supported, skin becomes calmer, more resilient, and less reactive over time.

It delivers fat-soluble nutrients the skin actually uses.

Naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning the skin can access them effectively when delivered in a fat-based form like tallow.

It provides long-lasting hydration without water

Because tallow is anhydrous, it doesn’t rely on water that evaporates quickly. It reduces moisture loss by sealing and supporting the barrier, leading to hydration that lasts.

It’s highly tolerated by compromised or sensitive skin

Skin that struggles with irritation, over-exfoliation, or chronic dryness often responds better to familiar lipid structures. Tallow is rarely disruptive when formulated and used properly.

It works with skin biology, not against it

Tallow doesn’t stimulate, exfoliate, or force change. It supports normal skin function, allowing the skin to repair, stabilise, and regulate itself.
