Whipped or solid? Find your tallow balm

THE TEXTURE EDIT · UPDATED OCTOBER 5, 2026

A soft, airy scoop or a rich balm that warms between your fingertips? MODII gives you two distinctive textures to make everyday moisturizing feel like a moment of care. Here is how to find the one you will look forward to using.

Both formulas bring together tallow, olive fruit oil and honey. Whipped Balm adds sweet almond and jojoba oils; Solid Balm includes beeswax. Those details make choosing personal: start with the feel you enjoy and the ingredients you want in your routine.

Prefer a solid balm with lavender oil? Explore Lavender Tallow Balm in 60g or 120g, checking its full formula and directions. For all balm formats and Tallow Soap, see our tallow skincare overview.

01 / Whipped or solid: what is the difference?

Whipped Balm offers a soft scoop from the jar. Solid Balm begins firmer and is warmed between your fingertips before application. If you enjoy the feel of a rich moisturizer, either format gives you a simple, hands-on way to make it part of your day.

Whipped describes the soft, airy texture in the jar. It does not guarantee a lighter finish or faster absorption on your skin. These are different formulas, so compare the ingredients as well as the feel. Start with a small amount and follow your chosen balm’s directions.

02 / What ingredients are in each balm?

There is something satisfying about knowing what is in the jar you reach for. MODII’s two formulas make the comparison straightforward, with five listed ingredients in Whipped Balm and four in Solid Balm.

Start with the texture you look forward to using. Let the recipe and your routine guide the rest.

03 / How do you use each balm?

After cleansing, take a small amount with clean fingertips and apply gently according to your jar’s directions. Starting small lets you enjoy the texture and find the amount that feels comfortable on your skin.

1. For Solid Balm: warm a small amount between your fingertips, then gently massage into clean, dry skin, focusing on the face, neck and décolleté. Avoid direct eye contact. Use daily or as needed, as directed.
2. For Whipped Balm: apply a small amount with fingertips to freshly cleansed and toned face, neck and décolleté, avoiding direct eye contact.
3. For your daily routine: introduce one new product at a time and notice how your skin responds. Keep the jar closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and out of children’s reach.

The pleasure is in keeping the step simple: your chosen texture, a small amount and a moment to apply it with care. Keep your daytime sunscreen in your routine, too.

04 / Which balm should you choose?

Love a soft texture from the first scoop? Choose Whipped Tallow Balm, 120g. Its airy format and blend of tallow, plant oils and honey make it an inviting place to begin.

Prefer a firm balm with a choice of sizes? Explore Solid Tallow Balm. Select 60g for a smaller jar or 120g for the larger format. Both sizes are available on the same product page.

05 / Choose with care, enjoy with confidence

Read the complete ingredient list for your selected balm. Both contain animal-derived tallow and honey; Solid Balm also contains beeswax, and Whipped Balm contains sweet almond oil. Lavender Balm contains lavender essential oil. Seek professional advice first for sensitive skin, known allergies or a skin condition.

Follow your jar’s label and patch test before wider use; a small-area test does not establish allergy safety. Stop if irritation, redness or breakouts develop. The 60g solid-balm label advises against use during pregnancy. Use externally, avoid the eyes and keep out of children’s reach. For product-testing guidance, see the American Academy of Dermatology’s instructions.

Tallow can clog pores, particularly in acne-prone or oily skin. The New Zealand Dermatological Society advises avoiding it if you have eczema, acne, open wounds or a weakened immune system. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, and keep prescribed care in place. Read the care notes in our ingredient guide if your skin needs extra consideration.
