FAQ

What is beef tallow?
Beef tallow is rendered and purified suet (from around the kidney) beef fat, rich in natural fatty acids and vitamins. It closely matches the skin’s own oils, making it an excellent moisturizer and protector.

Beef tallow is also an upcycled byproduct, our ancestors never let it go to waste, using it for cooking, candles, and skincare for centuries. We honor that tradition by purifying it into a sustainable, skin-nourishing ingredient for today.
Why do you combine tallow with beeswax?
Our formula is non-whipped and fortified with beeswax to:

Provide natural structure and firmness (so it won’t melt in heat).
Create a breathable barrier that locks in hydration.
Add natural protective and conditioning qualities.
How is Lamonica’s Naturals different?
Premium sourcing – 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow.
Beeswax fortified – Ethically sourced, stable, resilient, and long-lasting.
Minimal ingredients – No preservatives, synthetics, or fillers.
Multi-purpose – Use on face, body, hands, lips, tattoos, and dry skin spots.
Can people with oily or breakout-prone skin use it?
Yes. Our tallow and beeswax blend is designed to support the skin’s natural balance without heavy additives. Many people find it works well even if their skin is oily. Patch testing is always recommended.
Is it safe for sensitive skin, children, or during pregnancy?
Our unscented version is made to be gentle and simple, making it suitable for all ages. If a version includes essential oils, check the ingredient list carefully. Always patch test when trying a new product.
How do I use it?
Warm a small amount between your fingers and apply it to clean skin. Massage gently until absorbed. A little goes a long way.
How does this compare to whipped tallow creams?
Whipped creams can soften or melt in warmer weather. Our solid beeswax blend stays firm, stable, and travel-friendly while still melting smoothly into your skin on contact.
How long does a jar last and how should I store it?
A typical jar lasts 1–2 months with daily use. Store in a cool, dry place. Thanks to beeswax, our balm holds up well in different climates.

No preservatives
No synthetic fragrances or dyes

What does beard oil actually do? 
Beard oil hydrates your beard and the skin underneath, keeping it soft, itch-free, and healthy. It also helps tame stray hairs and gives your beard a natural, polished look without feeling greasy.
Why tallow-infused instead of regular beard oil? 
Most beard oils are just seed oils that sit on top of your hair. Ours is different. Beef tallow mirrors your skin’s natural oils, so it absorbs deeper, conditions longer, and strengthens both beard and skin. It’s the next level of beard care, old-world tradition meets modern performance.
Will it make my beard greasy or heavy?
No. Our blend is designed to absorb fast. A couple of drops is all you need — it leaves your beard soft and healthy, not shiny and slick.
How do I use it?
Drop 2–5 drops (depending on beard length) into your hands, rub them together, and work the oil into your beard from roots to tips. Don’t forget the skin underneath. Use daily or after a shower for best results.
Can it help with beard itch and dry skin? 
Yes. The tallow base nourishes skin at the root level while beeswax and oils lock in moisture. That means less itch, fewer flakes, and a beard that feels as good as it looks.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Our unscented option is as clean and simple as it gets — no fillers, no synthetics, no seed oils. Unscented is great for nighttime hydration. If you choose a scented version, we only use natural essential oils.
How long does a bottle last?
A 1 oz bottle usually lasts 1–2 months with daily use. A little goes a long way.
Can I use it on short stubble or only long beards?
Both. On stubble, it keeps your skin from drying out and cuts down itch. On longer beards, it conditions and keeps things looking sharp.
