Works on Eczema
This feels a little thick to be a facial moisturizer, but I've been using it on my arm, twice a day, and my eczema breakout has disappeared. Which means it's more effective than the pricey RX prescribed by my dermatologist.
I’ve known the owner, Melissa, for years, going back to the earliest days of Vellum St. She’s always been driven by a passion for reducing waste by strengthening local ecosystems and supply chains, and this product is emblematic of her ethos. Just four simple ingredients shine in this incredibly-hydrating balm, including locally-sourced beef tallow. I use it almost daily on my hands, and sometimes on my face. It smells incredible—like vanilla ice cream—and really locks in moisture. Can’t recommend this Tallow & Beeswax Balm, and Vellum’s products in general, highly enough.
The size is great travel or gifting. I have been using marshmallow fluff for a while now. I love how hydrating it is. I have been able to convert a few friends to tallow lotions.
I have VERY sensitive skin and this product is perfect for my dry winter skin. A little goes a long way. I love how well it absorbs into the skin, doesn't clog pores, and doesn't smell bad. My boyfriend has been treating an irritated spot on his wrist with it and it's helped get his skin to settle down.
Lowkey thought all these people using beef tallow was kinda gross until I tried this and I’m never going back. My skin the next day feels so soft it’s insane. Never using any other moisturizer ever again. This stuff is amazing
I never thought I would like tallow or lard. Of course like most I have seen videos of people using tallow. Not to mention a few of my girlfriends have ordered it off Amazon. However, it wasn’t until I tried my one friends marshmallow fluff and heard her feelings on it- that I decided to give it a try. She sent me the link to vellum street and I started reading all about your story and the products you sell. I learned about the ingredients you use, and why they are good for one’s skin. But what really sold me was how everything you create is in house (along with local sourcing). Being a south jersey girly I love knowing that this is made from someone so close!
Now onto the product….
This is truly one of the best products I have ever used. I have already reached out twice praising you guys for creating the tub of lard- and to never stop selling it. I have/had a horrible psoriasis spot on my body (that has never fully healed) and this is the first time I’ve ever seen progress like this without a proscription. I am truly in awh! As a nurse this is also a game changer for chapped hands, and hey let’s not forget about the scent! THE ALMOND. It’s everything and more. I look forward to my night routine of showering and “larding” myself before bed. It’s the addition to one’s self care routine. I can’t wait until you put it in a mini lip as well. I would like to note that I also like the original scent- it’s great for mint lovers and ones lips during the winter.
You truly have a forever customer from here on out. I can’t wait to see what else you create with lard!!!
