Fat Stick, Lavender + Peppermint, 0.5 Oz

The Fat Stick is a solid, travel-friendly balm made from grass-fed beef tallow and a handful of skin-loving oils. Customers use it for dry patches, chapped lips, cuticles, elbows, heels, and anywhere the skin needs quick, concentrated moisture. It has no water, no fillers, and no synthetic ingredients — just pure, potent fat.

Yes. The Fat Stick is great for spot-treating dry patches on the face — around the nose, on the lips, or on dry cheek areas. Because tallow absorbs readily into skin, it works without leaving a heavy, greasy feel. Many customers also use it overnight on rough areas.

Most often on lips, cuticles, elbows, knees and heels, and on rough or flaky patches after wind or cold exposure. The tallow and beeswax base leaves a protective layer that helps skin hold on to moisture. The Fat Stick is a moisturizer and barrier balm — it is not a medicine and is not intended to treat, cure or prevent any skin condition. If you are dealing with a persistent skin problem, please talk to a dermatologist.

The ingredient list is short — tallow, beeswax, plant oils and essential oils — with no synthetic fragrance, parabens or harsh preservatives, which is why people with easily irritated skin often get on well with it. The Lavender + Peppermint version is scented with essential oils, so for infants we would point you to the unscented Baby Fat Stick instead. Check with your pediatrician before using any new product on a baby.

Warm a small amount between your fingertips and apply directly to dry areas. For lips, apply straight from the stick. A little goes a long way — the tallow melts on contact with skin and absorbs quickly. Re-apply as needed throughout the day.
