  4. Finish up with a pea-sized amount of tallow balm to lock in moisture.

Toups Tallow Texture

The Most Nutrient-Dense Tallow on the Market, Confirmed.

Not all tallow is created equal, so we put ours to the test. In third-party testing, Toups scored higher across the nutrient content that makes it worth using in the first place:

  • 2.5× the measured omega-3 fatty acids
  • Nearly 2× the measured retinol
  • Nearly 2× the measured vitamin E
  • 60% more stearic acid
  • 6.5× the beta-carotene
Based on laboratory analysis of one sample of each product, July 2026. Results apply only to the samples tested. Fatty-acid comparisons are percentages of total fatty acids. Compositional testing does not establish clinical skin benefits or shelf life.

The Tenets of Toups

After over a decade in business, we’re still defined by what’s NOT in our products (toxins) and by what HASN’T changed (our values).

Every Ingredient Earns Its Place

Removing toxins is the easy part. Replacing them with zero-risk ingredients that add value is where our work begins.

Designed In-Home, Made In-House

Toups is still family-owned and operated by the Toups family. Every product begins in our own home and is developed at our Alabama headquarters.

Non-Toxic Is Not Enough 

Zero toxicity is the basis of health, but performance is the basis of customer satisfaction. There should be no compromise to buy clean.

Legal Doesn’t Mean Safe

Our standard of clean is zero-risk to the user, not zero liability under the law. We don’t wait for national standards to rise before updating ours.

Reviews

Amazing moisturizer

"This feels so good on my face I decided to subscribe to make sure I can keep it in my cabinet! I love the American values of this company, and the natural ingredients used to create so many wonderful products. This balm feels so good on my face, and the frankincense smell is amazing!"

— Katherine W. (5/5)

Love this balm!

"This tallow balm is so light and fluffy. A little goes a long way so the jar lasts forever. The smell is subtle and clean, never overwhelming. My skin is sensitive and tends to break out with new products. This one never does that to me. Absorbs quickly and doesn't feel oily, just moisturizing and calming."

— Sarah (5/5)

cream is perfect but the scent is strong

"If you love frankincense as a fragrance is is perfect. The base is a so nice and smooth. It soaks in almost instantly and is like an all in one sort of skincare balm. I’m not a big fan of the scent so I’m not sure I’ll rebuy this exact fragrance but I’ll definitely be coming back for more of the base product."

— Emma W. (4/5)

my new favorite

"This soap lathers up beautifully and cleanses without being overly harsh. I wasn’t sure about the charcoal but it seems to clean off all the sebum and oils without drying my skin out."

— Emma W. (5/5)

Smells amazing and makes my face happy

"I use this every night before bed. I love how it smells (it is an incredibly calming scent and mentally prepares me for sleep) and it really forms a protective barrier for my face. It's a bit pricey, so I often think about trying something else, but it's worth it for how my face feels. High quality product with great results."

— Er (5/5)

Sweet little bottle for simple luxury

"I’ve been using the toner every evening after face washing and following it up with a teeny bit of the frankincense balm. Such a nice touch for the cooler months."

— Maria F. (5/5)

Love it

"I've been using this balm for a couple years now. It definitely feels better and lasts longer on my skin than the previous cream (with questionable ingredients) that I used."

— Gianna C. (5/5)

I wanted to love it

"I wanted so badly to love these products, but since using their skin care I have had the WORST acne. I will say the texture is amazing, not clumsy like other brands and the scent is lovely."

— Kimberly C. (3/5)

Love it! Smooth and feels good

"Love the smell of this face balm. It is easy to use, very smooth and love the scent!"

— Carolina B. (5/5)

I feel feel great knowing I am using a quality product.

"I like the products and will continue to order and tell friends."

— Diane L. (5/5)
