10 Reasons Women With Dry, Sensitive Skin Are Switching to This Scottish Tallow Balm

By the NX1 PROJECT editorial team Last updated August 2026

Summary: NX1 PROJECT's Tallow & Raw Honey Face Balm is a four ingredient balm made with grass fed tallow from the Scottish Highlands and raw, unpasteurised honey.

No seed oils. No synthetics. No fillers.

It is built to deeply moisturise and support the skin barrier, which is why so many people with dry, tight, reactive skin have quietly moved their whole routine over to one jar.

Here is what is actually in it, where it comes from, and why it works.

1. Most People Notice Softer Skin Within Days

1Hand holding an open jar of the Tallow and Raw Honey Face Balm

Dry skin does not need a twelve step routine. It needs to stop being stripped.

Many of our customers notice smoother, more hydrated skin within days of first use, often after years of cycling through creams that felt good for an hour and left them tight again by morning.

Apply it after a shower, or before bed. You will feel the difference on your hands first.

2. Four Ingredients. Five If You Want It Scented.

2Flat lay of tallow, raw honey, carrier oil and beeswax on linen

Grass fed tallow. Raw honey. One carrier oil. Beeswax.

That is the entire unscented formula. The scented versions add exactly one more thing, an essential oil.

No emulsifiers holding it together. No preservative system keeping it stable for three years on a shelf. No fragrance blend hiding the smell of the fragrance blend.

When the list is this short, you can actually check all of it.

3. The Tallow Comes From the Scottish Highlands, Not a Feedlot

Our tallow is rendered from grass fed cattle raised on the mineral rich, untouched pastures of the Scottish Highlands.

Not industrial feedlots. Not whatever was cheapest that quarter.

Where the fat comes from changes what is in it, and it is the reason we have never moved sourcing offshore, even as demand outgrew supply six separate times.

4. Zero Seed Oils. Zero Synthetics. Zero Fillers.

4One clean jar beside a shelf crowded with generic plastic skincare bottles

Most moisturisers sold as natural are mostly water, thickened with seed oils and held together with synthetics.

Ours contains none. No sunflower, rapeseed or soybean oil. No dimethicone, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol or mineral oil.

If you have been reading labels in the aisle and putting bottles back down, this is the one you can put in the basket.

5. Raw, Unpasteurised Honey, Not the Heat Treated Kind

5Macro shot of raw honey dripping from a wooden dipper

Most honey used in skincare has been heated and filtered until it is essentially sugar syrup.

Ours is raw and unpasteurised. It is a natural humectant, which means it draws moisture into the skin and helps hold it there.

That is the half of the formula that hydrates. The tallow is the half that seals it in.

Dimethicone. Propylene glycol. Phenoxyethanol. Mineral oil.

Ingredients engineered to feel good for five minutes, then leave your skin needing the next application, and the next bottle.

The industry calls that skincare. We think it is a subscription you never agreed to.

Nothing in our jar is there to make you buy another one.

Four Ingredients. One Jar. £29.99.

Zero seed oils, zero synthetics, zero fillers.

7. Gentle Enough That Parents Use It on Newborns

Our unscented face balm is the one most parents reach for with infants and young children, skin that is thinner, more delicate and far less forgiving than an adult's.

If a formula is the right call for that, it is usually the right call for reactive adult skin too.

For anyone sensitive to essential oils, the unscented version is also completely limonene free.

8. One Jar, Head to Toe

8Single jar styled on linen with face, hands, lips and feet icons

Face. Hands. Feet. Lips. Eyelids. Even hair.

There is no reason to own six products when the formula is pure enough to use everywhere. Most people buy one jar for their face and end up using it on everything.

Less clutter. Fewer ingredients. One thing that works.

9. Every Batch Looks Slightly Different. That Is the Point.

9Three open jars showing natural batch variation in colour

Our balm is not refined, bleached or chemically standardised to look identical every time.

So the colour, texture and scent shift a little from batch to batch, depending on the season and the cattle's diet.

Mass market skincare engineers that variation out. We think it is the clearest proof you are holding something real.

10. 300,000+ Jars Sold. Sold Out Six Times.

10Large stack of balm jars

We have sold over 300,000 jars and run out of stock six separate times, because we would rather go out of stock than change where the tallow comes from.

Over 3,000 customers have written in since.

If it is in stock while you are reading this, that is not a permanent state of affairs.
