One of the initial questions we get asked, "what is it?!" It’s actually rendered beef fat. Tallow balms are packed with nutrients, and they have similar fat saturation levels as we do—making it easy for our body to absorb. Tallow balms contain vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, which can all be beneficial to your skin health and appearance. Given tallow’s organic compatibility with our skin, it works as a natural sebum, locking in moisture and nutrients without clogging your pores. These properties are what make tallow balms so great for skin conditions, including cracked, calloused, and dry skin, acne, eczema, rashes, burning, itching, wrinkles, sun damage, and more. Tallow balms give the skin the nutrients it needs to repair itself and the natural oils that keep in the moisture and nutrients. And, to top it all off— tallow balm is antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory! Stay tuned for why we WHIP our tallow 😊

What's our logo/name all about?? Swipe through! Maybe you've wondered why the "C" in Instinct is actually a "9". Or maybe you didn't even notice! If you look closely, you'll see a 1, 1, 9 in our name. The 1, 1, 9 is a nod to Psalm 119 which reveals the transformative power of YHWH's Word. It imparts essential lessons on obedience, comprehension, and the importance of seeking His guidance in our lives. Its teachings help us navigate the challenges of life, offering wisdom, comfort, and direction. Psalm 139:14 says we are fearfully & wonderfully made. Our Creator made us with natural instincts, inherent to His design. Those instincts were given to us to protect not only our bodies, but also our hearts & minds. At Instinct, we are passionate about encouraging women and families to lean into their God-given natural instincts. Join us in seeking after His wisdom and guidance as we care for our bodies—His temple!

One of the most common ailments our customers are seeking relief from is eczema—adults and children alike! We often recommend our Sensitive Tallow Balm to soothe this condition—however, we are HUGE proponents of getting to the root cause of the problem! 👉🏻Eczema is traditionally seen as a skin issue, but understanding the link between gut health and eczema leads to taking the appropriate actions that will be more effective at providing permanent relief. 👉🏻Gut health is vital for immune regulation, inflammation control, and nutrient absorption, all of which affect skin health. A compromised gut lining can worsen eczema. 👉🏻Leaky gut occurs when stress, poor diet, and toxins weaken the gut barrier, allowing harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. This triggers an immune response, causing inflammation that can lead to eczema flare-ups. 👉🏻Leaky gut triggers eczema by causing an immune overreaction and inflammation, releasing histamines and increasing skin sensitivity—which all lead to poor absorption of vital nutrients like zinc and vitamin D. 👉🏻Signs your gut is flaring your eczema include bloating, food sensitivities, fatigue, and joint pain. As always, we urge you to do some research and see how actions below might lead you on a path of healing: 🌿eliminating inflammatory foods 🌿identifying food sensitivies 🌿adding gut-healing foods 🌿supplementing with probiotics 🔗Healing the gut can break the cycle of eczema. You can shop our Sensitive Tallow Balm at the link in our bio, but remember—we aren’t here to be your bandaid solution—we are here to support you through the symptoms and help guide you to permanent healing!

🤓It’s no secret around here that our Patchouli + Frankincense Tallow Balm is a fan-favorite. And, for good reason! While it is our most popular balm-our Gold Tallow Balm also boasts a powerhouse ingredient list with frankincense in the line-up! 💛So, why is frankincense so wonderful?! The terpenes in frankincense oil are known to be antibacterial, antifungal, and break down biofilms on the skin’s surface, which helps fight acne, topical candida, and skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. ✨We use it in our anti-aging balms for its ability to boost collagen production, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity-but we always enjoy marveling at the natural multitaskers of God’s creation!
