Peak Tallow Balm is a Canadian-made, minimal-ingredient moisturizer formulated with grass-fed tallow to support deep hydration, skin barrier repair, and natural regeneration. This restorative tallow balm uses bioavailable fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrient-rich oils to help strengthen the skin’s structure and maintain long-term resilience. Designed with functional, science-backed ingredients and produced in small batches, Peak Tallow offers a clean, regenerative skincare solution trusted by people who value simple, effective, and naturally powered skin therapy.

Peak Tallow grew out of a simple idea: use real ingredients, respect where they come from, and make something that works. My background as a chef and butcher taught me that nothing should go to waste, and that good materials speak for themselves. After years of making tallow for another company, I wanted to create a product that felt more personal.

What started in the kitchen is now a small-batch, Canadian-made skincare line. Each tin is blended with local, grass-fed tallow, shea butter, and natural oils—formulated to help skin recover from wind, cold, work, and long days outside. Every batch is rendered, poured, and packed by hand in Canada, using minimal ingredients and low-impact, eco-friendly practices.

Peak Tallow is built on straightforward function and honest materials. No fillers, no shortcuts—just skincare that does its job and holds up to real use.

At the end of the day, Peak Tallow exists to help you get back out there—back to the work, the weather, and the places you feel most like yourself.
