FAQs

If your package spent some time in a hot courier van or mailbox, your cream may have melted, losing its airy, whipped texture. But don’t worry—it’s an easy fix! Simply scoop the cream into an oven-safe bowl, melt it gently over low heat in the oven or using a double boiler, let it cool to room temperature, and then re-whip it with a hand mixer to restore its light, fluffy consistency.

Tallow cream is a natural cream made from beef tallow, known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It helps address various skin issues by providing hydration and supporting skin health.

Yes, Southern Glow whipped cream is designed for all skin types, offering compatibility with the skin's natural lipid profile. However, it's recommended to patch-test on a small area first, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or bee sensitivities.

Our whipped cream is made from natural ingredients, and while it may have a mild natural scent due to its tallow base, it is generally not overpowering. The tallow we use is triple-filtered which takes away much of the “beefy” smell that you may have experienced with other tallow brands.

Absolutely, Southern Glow cream is versatile and can be used on both the face and body to address various skin concerns. Apply a small amount and massage gently into the skin.

Apply our cream to clean dry skin as needed. It can be used as a moisturizer, spot treatment, or to address specific skin issues. Adjust usage based on your skin's individual needs.

Our tallow is sourced from independent New Zealand beef farmers. Our tallow is Grass-Fed AND Grass-Finished, Triple Purified (to minimize beefy odour while preserving key nutrients) Non-GMO and Hormone Free.

We do not use any base oils in our cream like all other tallow brands. Our tallow cream is easily spread across the skin without the need to add additional base oils. (like Jojoba or Olive oil).

Yes, Southern Glow cream is safe for babies and children, but we do recommend patch testing with a small amount of the balm to ensure there are no sensitivities before using it regularly. If your baby is sensitive to scents and oils, you may prefer using the Unscented Southern Glow cream on your little one.

Here’s how we’d use our tallow whipped cream with makeup:

-Apply the whipped cream as your moisturiser (after any serums, etc, if using) and massage it in.

-Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb into your skin. Then go ahead with your makeup, using the whipped tallow cream as a moisturising primer to prevent the foundation from going into your pores and to give you a glowy finish!

The longevity of a jar of Southern Glow cream depends on individual usage, but a little goes a long way. On average, a jar can last several months. The shelf life is at least 12 months; it can be used after this, but it is recommended to use it within that timeframe for optimal efficacy.

Yes. Apply it after serums and before sunscreen during the day or as the final step in your evening routine.

Beeswax acts as a natural emollient that helps retain moisture, provides a protective barrier, and possesses anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to improved skin hydration and overall well-being. We use small-batch NZ beeswax.

When opened, keep the jar in a room-temperature place! As long as it doesn’t get too hot (it might melt), it’s easily spreadable and should absorb pretty quickly, leaving the skin moisturised but not greasy. You can store unopened jars in a cool, dry place till you’re ready to use them!

While we can’t guarantee anything, many customers have said that our whipped tallow cream has made a huge positive difference with these skin conditions. For eczema, we recommend the Unscented option. It is whipped and has a much lighter consistency, so it does not need much rubbing to apply. This means it is much gentler on sensitive skin. We always recommend doing a small patch test before a full application to ensure there are no product sensitivities. If that goes well, then you can go ahead with a full application!

We use raw, local small-batch honey that is never heated enough past the point of pasteurization, this preserves the benefits and nutrients in the profile of raw honey so that you can receive all the benefits this ingredient has to offer -- natural antibacterial properties, antioxidants, and moisture retention, which collectively contribute to promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall skin health.
