The brand says in the product page "Premium Grass-Fed Ingredients: Crafted with the finest Adeps Bovis (grass-fed beef tallow), nutrient-rich olive oil, and raw honey for deep nourishment." This is not true.
REAL INGREDIENTS AS MENTIONED ON THE PACKAGING
Shea butter, Jojoba seed oil, tocopherol, beeswax, Japanese Camellia seed oil, Isonony, Isononanoate (that's a type of alcohol and nothing I would call natural), Mentha Haplocalyx oil (peppermint oil), Capric Trigyceride (this can be obtained from coconut, palm kernel, dairy products or cow's milk) and Bisabolol (a camomile-based product). Not vegan, but mostly plant-based with some possible dairy-derived product. Dairy like in milky, not like in tallow, which is a fat from the cow's body.
I don't know if there is a mistake in the packaging, in the sense that the wrong package was used for the wrong product, or the brand wants to hop on the beef tallow miracle wagon and sell us something that isn't bad, but isn't what customers pay for.
Therefore, this product is mostly made of a bunch of natural products, dairy derived products and beeswax, which is great; however, there is no beef tallow, olive oil or honey in it. Okay, at least is all natural, right?
WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS
This is more a salve than a balm due to its thick hard consistency. Due to beeswax being one of the main ingredients, it might happen that the product softens during the summer months and then I can use it on my face, but, as it's now, I can only use it on my hands, elbows or heels. It's difficult to spread, too.
The product is unscented, but it still has a strong beeswax odour, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Nothing that bothers me, but nothing pleasant either.
MIND
This is a salve, not a cream or a balm.
This has no beef tallow, olive oil or honey in the product.
