Skin type guide

Will tallow body butter make sense for your skin?

Start with your skin type, your use area, and your tolerance for rich textures. The goal is not to convince everyone. The goal is to help the right visitor feel confident.

Dry body skin

This is the strongest fit. Use after bathing or before bed on shins, elbows, knees, hands, feet, and rough patches that need a richer layer.

Normal skin

Use as a cold-weather, after-shower, or spot-treatment body butter instead of an all-over daily layer.

Sensitive skin

Choose the simplest scent direction, patch test first, and stop if you notice burning, rash, itch, or unusual redness.

Oily or acne-prone skin

Be cautious on the face, chest, and back. Rich occlusive products can feel too heavy and may contribute to clogged pores for some people.

Mature skin

Use anywhere skin feels dry, thin, or tight. The rich texture can make body skin feel more comfortable and flexible.

Medical skin conditions

Eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, infections, wounds, and severe cracking need medical guidance. This is a cosmetic moisturizer, not a treatment plan.

Patch test ritual

Let your skin vote before you go all in.

Apply a tiny amount to a small area, such as the inner forearm. Wait 24 hours. If skin feels calm, try a small body area. If irritation appears, stop using it.

Start smallA rice-grain to pea-sized amount is enough for a test zone.

Avoid broken skinDo not apply into cuts, open cracks, infected areas, or active rashes.

Go body-firstHands, elbows, knees, legs, and feet are the safest entry points.

Ask for helpPersistent itch, bleeding, pain, swelling, or spreading rash deserves a clinician.

Amount matters

The right amount feels expensive. Too much feels oily.

Most people who find body butter greasy are using it like lotion. This formula works best as a warmed, targeted layer.

For hands:
Use a rice-grain amount after washing, then add a tiny second layer to knuckles before bed.

For legs:
Apply after a shower while skin is slightly damp. Start at the shins, where dryness usually shows first.

For heels:
Use a pea-sized amount per heel at night. Socks can help the butter stay where you put it.

For face curiosity:
Test behind the ear or jawline first. Avoid if you are acne-prone or easily congested.

The promise

Wild & Soft is not for every skin story. It is for the visitor who wants rich, simple, body-first softness.

That honest boundary makes the product more trustworthy, not less exciting.
