Where to buy

- Tallow-based balm with only six ingredients and no added fragrance. The formula uses animal fats that are structurally similar to human skin lipids, which helps it absorb and create a moisture-sealing barrier rather than just sitting on top.
- More of a thick, waxy balm than a lotion. You scoop it from a jar and warm it between your fingers before applying, so it's not a quick pump-and-go product.
- Marketed as a baby balm, but Primally Pure positions it as a multi-use product for diaper rash, cradle cap, dry patches, eczema flare-ups, nursing nipples, and growing bellies. If you want one jar that covers several needs, that's the idea.
- No preservatives in the formula, which means you need to keep water out of the jar to prevent bacteria growth. Something to be aware of if you're scooping with wet hands during diaper changes.
- Among non-toxic baby lotions, tallow-based formulas are relatively uncommon. Most use plant oils or butters as their base; this one leans on animal-derived fats as the primary moisturizing approach.
- Primally Pure sources its tallow from grass-fed cows and operates a regenerative farm, so the animal-based ingredient sourcing is central to the brand's identity, not an afterthought.
