Tallow Diaper Cream: Simple, Safe Care for Baby’s Bottom

There’s nothing more tender than baby skin — and nothing more frustrating than watching it turn red, raw, or uncomfortable from diaper rash. It can happen fast: a warm day, a missed change, teething, or just sensitive skin. And while there are plenty of creams on the shelf, most of them are packed with ingredients we wouldn’t dream of putting on our own skin — let alone our baby’s.

That’s why we created Tallow Diaper Cream — a gentle, soothing balm made with only natural, organic ingredients you can actually trust.


🌿 Why We Use Tallow

Tallow has been used for generations to heal and protect the skin. It’s full of vitamins A, D, E, and K, all of which are essential for skin regeneration and resilience. Unlike synthetic creams that create a layer on the skin, tallow works withthe skin to deeply moisturize, calm inflammation, and support healing from the inside out.

It absorbs easily, soothes quickly, and leaves your baby’s skin feeling soft, not sticky.


💧 What’s Inside (And Why It Works)

We kept this formula simple and safe — no water, no fillers, no petroleum, and no hard-to-pronounce extras.

✅ Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

Nourishes, repairs, and protects — rich in fat-soluble vitamins that help skin thrive.

🥥 Organic Coconut Oil

Moisturizing, antimicrobial, and soothing to inflamed or chafed areas.

🌾 Bentonite Clay

A gentle detoxifier that pulls out moisture and toxins while calming redness.

🧴 Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Creates a physical barrier that helps protect skin from moisture and irritation, while still allowing it to breathe. Non-nano means it won’t absorb into the body — just stays on the surface where it’s needed.

🐝 Beeswax

Adds a light seal to keep moisture out and healing in. Naturally antibacterial.

🌼 Lavender & Chamomile Essential Oils

Gentle, calming, and known for their skin-soothing properties. These add natural antimicrobial support and a light, peaceful scent — no added fragrances, ever.


👶 How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin after a diaper change — especially before naps or bedtime when diapers stay on longer. You can also use it:

  • On red, irritated areas to calm inflammation

  • Between baby rolls or in warm, damp folds to prevent chafing

  • As a protective layer for sensitive skin during teething flares or new foods

A little goes a long way — this balm melts into the skin like butter.


❌ Why We Skip Store-Bought Creams

Most diaper creams — even the ones labeled “natural” — contain:

  • Water (which can breed bacteria)

  • Petroleum jelly or mineral oil (which blocks skin from breathing)

  • Preservatives, parabens, and synthetic fragrances

  • Titanium dioxide (which can be irritating for some babies)

We don’t think you need any of that. Just whole ingredients, lovingly chosen for your baby’s most delicate skin.


🧡 From Our Home to Yours

This balm was first made at our kitchen counter — because we needed something we could trust for our own babies. We’ve used it through rashes, teething, travel, and all the tender in-betweens.

If you’re looking for a clean, comforting solution that’s safe, effective, and made with care — this is it.

Handmade in small batches, with ingredients you’d find in a natural kitchen, not a chemistry lab. Because your baby deserves nothing less.
