Questions and answers

How well does Terra Lotus Tallow Honey Balm work for dry skin?

Terra Lotus Tallow Honey Balm works moderately well for dry skin, using grass-fed beef tallow, olive oil, and raw honey to hydrate and lock in moisture safely without irritation. However, a moisturizer for dry skin needs a richer blend of softening and sealing ingredients, plus peptides and antioxidants to truly stop flaking and fully support the skin barrier.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015

Which ingredients make this moisturizer a good fit for dry skin?

Grass-fed beef tallow and Italian olive oil help smooth and soften dry skin by locking in moisture, while raw honey helps hold onto that hydration. To work best for very dry skin, this type of moisturizer also needs a richer mix of skin-softening oils and barrier-supporting ingredients.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015

What does Beef Tallow do for dry skin?

Beef tallow helps dry skin stay moisturized and soft by forming a protective layer that locks in hydration. Emulsions made with similar animal fats have been shown to provide greater skin moisturization and receive positive user feedback.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015

What does Italian Olive Oil do for dry skin?

Italian olive oil may damage the skin barrier and cause redness on dry skin. Because it can harm outer skin layers, a product for dry skin needs gentle, barrier-repairing ingredients like sunflower seed oil.

Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This moisturizer goes in your routine after your hydrating toner in the morning and after your treatment in the evening, as well as the final step in your weekly routine. Using a moisturizer helps improve visual dryness and clinical scores for dry skin.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022

Can I use this moisturizer with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help lock in hydration and keep your skin soft and smooth. A moisturizer for dry skin also needs ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid to better support and repair your skin barrier.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this moisturizer?

You can use this moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, to help keep dry skin soft and comfortable. Daily application of moisturizers helps improve hydration and supports skin barrier function.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

Yes, reviewers sometimes mention acne and breakouts with this moisturizer because it has a greasy and heavy texture. However, it is unlikely to irritate dry skin, though a product for this skin works best when it balances rich moisture with a lighter feel that lets the skin breathe.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015

Can I use this moisturizer around the eyes or on my body?

Yes, you can use this moisturizer on your body and around the eyes, as its gentle ingredients are safe for delicate skin. Grass-fed beef tallow, Italian olive oil, and raw honey help keep dry skin feeling soft and smooth without causing irritation.

What the research says

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015
  • Topical use of six plant oils and one animal fat in Nigeria provides benefits for skin barrier function, wound healing, and antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects due to their active constituents, though they can cause adverse effects mainly related to processing and storage hygiene.

    Dermatologic Therapy, 2022
  • Honey-based dressings reduced mean healing duration, length of hospital stay, and VAS pain scores compared with povidone iodine-based dressings in 1236 participants.

    Journal of Wound Care, 2021
