We improved this very popular balm with the addition of vanilla oleoresin!.

Buffalo Gal's Day Balm is a simple but premium animal-based formula.  Help protect skin against excessive UV rays with non-nano zinc oxide while nourishing it with our coffee infused grassfed tallow and ratite (emu and ostrich) butter.  We are now adding a small amount of vanilla oleoresin to offset the clay-like scent our customers report. Don't worry -- the vanilla is very light!

For a handy, smaller-sized tallow balm for sun sheltering, try our new 2 oz BEACH BALM!

Natural Ingredients for Skincare and Their Benefits

Unrefined 100% Grassfed Buffalo Tallow — Dry rendered in-house, this exceptionally nutritious fat is the basis of all our products.  Lab tests reveal that our water buffalo tallow contains a significant level of retinol.  Each 3.3 oz jar of this product contains approximately 100 IU of this natrually occuring retinol.  Be sure to read about the amazing benefits of our tallow here.

Emu Butter — This rich oil is high in Vitamins E and K and deeply absorbed in the skin. It’s also a powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory.  Emu oil has a balanced fatty acid profile, lending it to many anti-aging properties.  It is also hypoallergenic! 

Ostrich Butter - Ostrich oil also has a balanced fatty acid profile with many of the same attributes as emu oil, with the addition of Vitamin C.  It is known for supporting faster cellular turnover and relieving burns and irritation.  It is slightly richer than emu and the two together make a wonderful texture that absorbs rapidly.

Non-nano Zinc Oxide — Not only is Zinc Oxide nourishing and anti inflammatory, it is known as a natural form of topical sun protection. Zinc Oxide is not absorbed into the skin but provides a reflective film on top. Plus, it’s safe for ocean reefs!  Read more about zinc oxide below.

Direct Trade Coffee — One of our favorite skin-healing secrets. Caffeine tightens fine lines, evens tone, inhibits growth of cancer cells, prevents inflammation, reduces puffiness, dehydrates fatty cells, minimizes the appearance of cellulite and creates a smoothing effect, aids circulation while restricting blood vessels, thus reducing redness including rosacea, acts as a powerful antioxidant and moisturizer, calms irritated skin caused by sun damage. Coffee is really a powerhouse for your skin, and we source it from direct-trade sources that protect workers and the environment.

Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Oil - Our favorite vanilla!  Imparts a warm, comforting, relaxing essence to this balm.

*Note: We cannot make any claims regarding the SPF rating on this product with out appropriate FDA regulated lab testing.  Zinc Oxide assists with UV protection by reflecting and refracting the sun’s rays.  We’re confident you will receive some sun protection from this product, approximately the equivalent of 10-15 SPF.  Please use at your own discretion.

 

More information about Zinc Oxide:

When applied topically, Zinc Oxide remains on the skin’s surface, forming a coating that functions as a protective agent, notably against the harmful effects of UV radiation and environmental irritants. This makes it an ideal additive to skin care products, such as lotions, creams, and ointments, especially those meant for application before exposure to the elements as well as those meant to soothe or prevent itching, infections, and skin damage.

Zinc Oxide helps to:

  • Protect against damage caused by overexposure to broad spectrum ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB)
  • Maintain the appearance of a rejuvenated complexion by enhancing collagen synthesis and reducing the rate of developing signs of aging, such as fine lines and dark spots
  • Regenerate connective tissue as well as new skin
  • Moisturize and restore the health of chapped skin
  • Diminish the appearance of enlarged pores
  • Facilitate the healing of wounded or otherwise damaged skin
  • Calm inflammation
  • Soothe itching, burning, inflammation, redness, dryness, peeling and pain
  • Balance the skin’s natural pigmentation
  • Regulate the production of sebum and interstitial fluid
  • Increase the number of other active and beneficial additives that penetrate the skin, when combined with other products that have rejuvenating effects
  • Enable the healing of diaper rash by creating a protective barrier between the skin and the diaper
  • Allow the oily substances in formulations to penetrate the skin
  • Naturally facilitate the healing of scrapes, abrasions, burns, irritation, rashes, sores, and ulcers

Absorbs well
Written by Vicky on Sep 24th 2024

This balm is thicker than I expected but it absorbs really well. I can apply it before I put on my makeup and it doesn't interfere. I think it works almost like a primer. I've gotten compliments on how glowy it makes my skin!

The texture is too heavy and the smell of the product is not for me but I can tell has high quality ingredients!

Love Love Love the Day Balm
Written by Janice on Jul 2nd 2024

I absolutely love how soft and creamy the Day Balm is. It absorbs well before I put on makeup. It has a light, pleasant coffee smell and my dogs want to lick it off as soon as I put it on -- lol.

My skin doesn’t like it :/
Written by Parisa on Jul 2nd 2024

I was really hoping to like this tallow balm! I waited a while to get it and have tried using it many different times to make sure I was correct that my breakouts are from it, and unfortunately they are.. every time I use the Day Balm I get pimples all over my face, which is actually uncommon for me, so maybe it’s too oily for my skin.. disappointed bc this it’s not cheap and was wishing it to be a great moisturizer plus natural SPF for me!

Love this...

The day balm is just what my mature skin needed. A little goes a long way and you will want to let it soak in for a few minutes before applying make up if you do that. I sure love it.

I love the way this product smells. Seems to moisturize well too but not greasy.

Thick
Written by Alicia Bates on Apr 21st 2024

This is very thick but a little goes a long way. I usually warm it in my hands to thin it out a little bit. I love knowing I’ve got good ingredients going on my skin versus the ingredients in store bought skincare.

So far so good

I haven’t worn this while in the sun yet so I can’t speak to the sunscreen protection but so far this balm is great. My poor skin has had a nightmarish time coming back to California after a year in Alabama. The dry winter has made my skin so dry and flaky, nothing was working. My skin is still a little dry but I’m confident that with more consistent use I will see a more lasting change. I have noticed that my complexion seems brighter and more even though. Overall, I’m really happy with this product so far.

I have no real complaints with the 2 products ordered; however they don’t help with the dryness.. when I wake up my skin feels dry. Does nothing to help smooth lines and wrinkles.. they’re almost more noticeable! Any suggestions?
