I’m thinking of doing a test run of some tallow balm that you can customize the scent (essential oil or none). Grass fed/finished tallow, a little organic cold pressed olive oil, glass jars. The prices on Amazon are just outrageous to me. What do you guys think?

This is the exact reason I haven’t tried any, it just seems so over priced.
Exactly. To be fair, tallow is expensive compared to sunflower oil but I see 2oz jars going for $20-30 a piece. Not sure if this would be long term sustainable but I’m thinking of about 20k sats or around $8.50 for 2oz to start. Like liquid Castile soap it’s pretty concentrated compared to traditional lotions that are mostly water so 2 oz would last longer than you think.
I can’t even being to think that people are actually buying it at 20-30bucks.
Much less vanman sell bison tallow balm for +$100? Who buys that?
At your price point I’m definitely down to try some.
A while back I bought some for $20. I knew it was overpriced but I’d rather overpay than put toxic chemical soup all over my skin and it was worth every penny. Then I started to learn how to make my own for way cheaper. I just think this market needs a little competition to bring the price down and get people more interested in trying it out.
My wife asked for some for Valentine’s Day. I would definitely buy some.
