180-Day Money-Back Guarantee — no questions, no forms.
You have a shelf full of creams that promised everything and delivered nothing. We know. If your skin doesn't improve in 180 days, we'll refund every penny. Because we know how many times you've been let down before.
Quick Answers
No. Our tallow is rendered and purified until it's virtually odourless. The raw honey adds a very subtle natural sweetness. Most customers describe it as having almost no scent at all — you won't smell like a steakhouse before a date or a meeting.
No — because tallow's lipid profile matches your own skin oils, it absorbs rather than sitting on top or catching on clothing. Apply a small amount to damp skin after a shower, warm it between your fingers first, and it disappears into the skin within seconds — no residue on sheets or sleeves.
Apply after every shower while skin is still slightly damp — this is when absorption is highest. Warm a small amount between your fingertips first. Apply morning and night to affected patches. Consistency is everything — most customers see significant improvement between weeks 2 and 4, including during flare periods.
Yes — just four ingredients, nothing synthetic, no fragrance, no essential oils, no preservatives, and no steroids of any kind. It's gentle enough to use alongside a prescribed steroid routine or on its own, and won't contribute to skin thinning. If you have a known beef or honey allergy, please consult your GP or dermatologist first. For everything else, four ingredients means four things to check — not twenty.
A little goes a long way. The 120g jar lasts approximately 1–2 months with twice-daily application. The 240g lasts 2–4 months and the 360g up to 6 months. If you have widespread plaques you'll use more in the early weeks as skin recovers — most customers find they need less over time as the barrier improves.

You haven't failed.
You've been failed.

Every cream that promised everything and delivered nothing. Every steroid cycle that cleared it, then brought it back worse — or thinner skin as the price of clearing it at all. Every long sleeve worn in the heat so nobody asks what happened. That's not you not trying hard enough. That's products that were never designed to fix what's actually driving it.

"You haven't failed at managing this. You just needed the right thing. That's why every single jar comes with a 180-day money-back guarantee — no questions, no forms. Because I know how many times you've been let down before."

Four ingredients. All with a reason.

Nothing hidden.
Nothing you'd need to Google.

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
100% Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

Bioidentical to your own skin lipids. Your skin doesn't block it — it absorbs it and uses it to rebuild the barrier that psoriasis keeps breaking down. Not coat it. Rebuild it. Grass-fed means 3–5x more CLA — a naturally anti-inflammatory fatty acid that works on the inflammation driving the plaques, not just the dryness sitting on top. This is the foundation everything else builds on.

Raw Honey
Raw Honey — from our neighbour's hives

Psoriasis skin is in a constant state of inflammation — cells turning over in days instead of weeks. Every cream you've tried has moisturised the surface and ignored what's happening underneath. Raw honey doesn't. Its natural anti-inflammatory compounds work to calm that overactive cycle at the skin level while supporting the repair of cracked, broken-down tissue. That's the difference between masking and actually helping.

Beeswax
Beeswax — also from our neighbour's hives

Beeswax seals everything in. It creates a breathable protective layer so the tallow and honey stay in contact long enough to actually work. Without it the balm would absorb too quickly. With it your skin gets sustained nourishment through the night and through the day — so the scale softens, the cracking eases, and the barrier gets time to rebuild instead of breaking down again by morning.

Tocopherol from Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Tocopherol from Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Vitamin E in its most natural form. It actively nourishes damaged, inflamed skin while preserving the balm naturally — no synthetic preservatives needed. Most "natural" creams use chemical preservatives to extend shelf life. We use vitamin E instead. It does the same job and helps your skin heal at the same time. You've read enough ingredient lists to know the difference. This one you won't need to.

"I'll be honest — I was sceptical. I'm a dermatology nurse. I've spent twelve years watching patients cycle through topical steroids and emollients. When a colleague told me to try beef tallow on my own psoriasis I nearly laughed. I went home and read every study I could find on lipid biocompatibility. The science is actually sound. I tried it. My plaques softened within a fortnight. I've since mentioned it to three patients. I never thought I'd be the person writing a review like this."

FAQ

Every question you have.
Answered honestly.

You've been let down enough times to be sceptical. We'd rather answer every question up front than have you hesitate over something we could have cleared up.

About the Balm
Four ingredients. 100% grass-fed beef tallow, raw honey, beeswax and tocopherol (vitamin E) from extra virgin olive oil. That is the complete ingredient list. No water, no emulsifiers, no synthetic preservatives, no fragrance, no essential oils, no fillers of any kind. If you can't find it in those four ingredients, it isn't in the jar. After years of reading ingredient lists you couldn't pronounce, this one takes about five seconds.
No. Our tallow is rendered and purified until it's virtually odourless. The raw honey adds a very subtle, barely-there natural sweetness. Most customers describe it as having almost no scent at all — several reviewers have said their partners didn't even notice they'd changed their routine until they commented on the skin improvement.
No — and this surprises most people. Because tallow's lipid profile is nearly identical to your own skin oils, the skin recognises it and absorbs it rather than sitting on top of it. Warm a small pea-sized amount between your fingertips first and it disappears into the skin within seconds. Nothing like the petroleum film you get from Aquaphor or the greasy residue from most OTC psoriasis creams.
Yes — significantly. Grass-fed tallow contains 3–5x more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than grain-fed tallow. CLA is a naturally anti-inflammatory fatty acid — exactly what psoriasis-affected skin needs, because psoriasis is fundamentally an inflammatory condition. Grass-fed also has higher concentrations of vitamins A, D, E, and K, all essential for skin barrier function and repair. Grain-fed tallow has a fraction of this nutritional profile. This is why we don't cut corners on sourcing.
Psoriasis skin is in a constant state of inflammation — cells turning over in days instead of the normal weeks, producing the thick plaques and scale you know too well. Every moisturiser you've tried has hydrated the surface and ignored what's happening underneath. Raw honey's natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds work to calm that overactive cycle at the skin level while supporting the repair of cracked, broken-down tissue. Plain tallow rebuilds the barrier. Tallow plus honey also addresses the inflammation driving the plaques. That is the synergy that makes this different from every other tallow balm.
A little goes a long way. The 120g jar lasts approximately 1–2 months with twice-daily application to affected areas. The 240g lasts 2–4 months and the 360g up to 6 months. If you have widespread psoriasis you'll use more in the early weeks as the skin calms — most people find they need progressively less over time as the barrier strengthens and the plaques reduce.
Safety & Suitability
Yes — and we know why you're asking. If you've used topical steroids you've probably experienced or worried about skin thinning, discolouration, or rebound flares. Tallow is not a steroid. It doesn't suppress anything. It nourishes the skin barrier with lipids that are nearly identical to your own skin oils. There is no thinning risk, no rebound effect, and no long-term safety concern. Four ingredients — all food-grade, all pronounceable, all safe for daily use indefinitely. If you have a known beef allergy, please consult your GP first.
Four ingredients means four things to check — not twenty. If you have a known beef or honey allergy, please consult your GP before using. For all other sensitivities — including common triggers like fragrance, lanolin, coconut oil, nut oils, essential oils, and synthetic preservatives — none of those are in this product. We always recommend a patch test on a small area of inner arm first and waiting 24 hours before wider application.
Tallow is non-comedogenic for most skin types. Unlike coconut oil — which can cause breakouts on sensitive skin — tallow's lipid profile closely mirrors your skin's own sebum. The skin recognises it rather than reacting to it. For skin that's already compromised and reactive from psoriasis, this biocompatibility is why it works when other "natural" products have caused problems.
Dairy sensitivity is a reaction to milk proteins — specifically casein and whey. Tallow is rendered beef fat, which contains no milk proteins whatsoever. They are completely different things. That said, if you have a broader beef allergy rather than dairy, please speak to your GP first. We always recommend a patch test regardless.
How to Use It
Apply after showering or bathing while skin is still slightly damp — this is when absorption is highest and the balm locks in the most moisture. Warm a small pea-sized amount between your fingertips first until it melts, then apply gently to affected areas. Apply morning and night consistently. Most people see significant improvement between weeks 2 and 4. Consistency is everything — this is not a one-application fix, it's a barrier rebuilding process.
Less than you think. A pea-sized amount covers a large area once warmed between the fingers. Start small — you can always add more. One of the most common things customers tell us is that they used far too much at first because they were used to applying conventional creams generously. With tallow, less is more because it actually absorbs.
Yes. Many customers use a small amount along the hairline, behind the ears, and on exposed areas of the scalp — all common psoriasis sites. Use an even smaller amount than you would on the body and warm it thoroughly between your fingers first so it applies thinly. It won't leave a visible residue on the hair if applied sparingly to the skin at the roots.
Many people use it alongside their existing routine at first and gradually reduce steroid usage as the skin improves. We'd always recommend speaking to your GP or dermatologist before changing any prescribed treatment plan. What we can tell you is that tallow doesn't interfere with topical steroids — they work through completely different mechanisms. Apply them at separate times rather than mixing.
Results & Expectations
Most people notice the plaques softening and redness reducing within the first 1–2 weeks. Significant clearing typically happens between weeks 2 and 4. Severe or long-standing psoriasis — particularly thick plaques or cases involving years of steroid use — may take 4–6 weeks to show full improvement. The skin is rebuilding its barrier, which takes time. A 2024 peer-reviewed study found tallow-based formulations reduced transepidermal water loss by 28–35% after just 14 days.
This is one of the most common reasons people find us. Steroid cream suppresses the immune response — the skin clears, you stop, it rebounds worse. Many adults with psoriasis have been in this cycle for years without being warned it could happen. Tallow doesn't suppress anything. It nourishes the barrier so it can protect itself. People who transition from steroids to this balm consistently report their skin stabilising and staying clearer over time — without the rebound. Speak to your GP or dermatologist before reducing prescribed steroids.
You pay nothing. Our 180-day money-back guarantee means if your skin doesn't improve within 180 days of consistent use, we'll refund every penny. No forms, no questions, no hoops. You have a shelf full of creams that promised everything and delivered nothing. We know. That's exactly why the guarantee exists — because we know how many times you've been let down before, and we're confident enough in this product to put our money behind that confidence.
Unlike steroid cream, there is no rebound effect from stopping tallow. Because it works by rebuilding the skin barrier rather than suppressing the immune response, many people find they can gradually reduce frequency as the skin becomes stronger and more resilient. Psoriasis is a chronic condition — we won't pretend otherwise. Some people continue to use it as a daily moisturiser long-term. Others find they only need it during winter flare season or high-stress periods. What it won't do is make your skin worse when you stop. That alone makes it different from what you've been using.
About Soothie
Our cattle are grass-fed and pasture-raised. Three generations of our family have farmed this land. The tallow is rendered here in small batches. We know exactly where it comes from because we raise it ourselves. There is no supply chain mystery — it's our herd, our fields, our farm.
From our neighbour's hives at the edge of our fields here on the farm. Raw, unheated, unprocessed. Not supermarket honey — raw honey that retains its full spectrum of naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds. This matters because processed honey loses much of the properties that make it effective for inflamed, psoriasis-affected skin.
Because Susie still makes it herself, here on the farm, the same way she made the first jar. Small batch means we can guarantee the quality and sourcing of every single jar. It means the tallow is always from our grass-fed herd and the honey is always raw from the same hives. Scaling up would mean compromising on both. We're not prepared to do that.
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. No refrigeration needed. The balm may soften slightly in warm weather and firm up in winter — this is completely normal and doesn't affect quality. Always use clean, dry fingers or a small spatula to scoop it out to maintain shelf life. Shelf life is 12 months from production.
