Why Choose The Glow Up Over Other Tallow Products?
Not all tallow products are created equal—and The Glow Up stands out for more than just its name.
Here’s what makes it different:
Next-Level Ingredients
While many balms stop at just beef tallow, The Glow Up blends dry-rendered, grass-fed tallow with ostrich oil, camellia oil, carrot seed oil, and arrowroot powder—for a smoother feel and deeper skin nourishment.
Botanical Benefits
Unlike basic formulas, ours includes a carefully selected lineup of essential oils (like turmeric, frankincense, rose, neroli, and lavender) that support hydration, clarity, and a natural glow—while also smelling amazing.
Thoughtfully Formulated
We take a holistic approach to formulation:
*No fillers
*No synthetic fragrances
Multi-Skin-Type Friendly
Designed to support dry, sensitive, aging, or imbalanced skin—without clogging pores or overwhelming delicate skin.
Scent Profiles for All
From soft floral to grounded earthy or bright citrus, we offer scent variations that feel inclusive and intentional (not just for women or just for men).
Texture Matters
Thanks to arrowroot and camellia oil, The Glow Up has a light, velvety texture—no greasy residue, no waxy feel, and no tallow smell.
Skin-first. Always.
We use this product ourselves—and believe in transparent skincare made from real, effective ingredients. This isn’t a trend—it’s a return to what works.
