    WHAT IS BOOTIN' THE BLUES?

    The only whipped tallow balm formulated specifically for sensitive, reactive, redness-prone, eczema and psoriasis-prone skin.

    Bootin the Blues is created by Outback Tallow Co an Australian-owned skincare brand founded in Townsville, Queensland. Five ingredients. Nothing else. No synthetic fragrance, no preservatives, no fillers, no nasties.

    This is the balm our founder Kylie wished she'd had at 12 years old.


    THE FOUNDER STORY

    A lifetime of struggling. A return to what always worked.

    Kylie has struggled with rosacea, acne, psoriasis and reactive skin since she was 12 years old. A lifetime of trying everything the skincare industry told her to use  creams, steroids, prescriptions, dermatologist visits. Nothing stuck. Nothing lasted.

    Then at 12, her doctor gave her two pieces of advice: move to Queensland for the UV. And use beef tallow on her skin.

    Here she is at 39 living in Queensland, using beef tallow every single day. And it works.

    The same advice her doctor gave her 12 year old self with psoriasis, rosacea and reactive skin decades ago is the foundation of every product Outback Tallow Co makes today. UV and beef tallow. Simple. Proven. Timeless.

    What started in her kitchen in Townsville is now produced with world-leading manufacturer who guarantee batch after batch quality, contamination control and consistency. Old-age wisdom. Modern-day science. Simple. Effective.


    THE SMELL QUESTION WE ANSWER IT FIRST

    Most tallow products smell like a butcher shop. Ours?

    Our customers consistently tell us Outback Tallow Co is the only beef tallow balm they've tried that doesn't smell like beef. We get five star reviews for it constantly. Our formulation process and world-leading manufacturing partner ensure every single batch is odour-free, consistent and clean.

    No beefy smell. Just skin care that works.


    WHO IS BOOTIN' THE BLUES FOR?

    Bootin the Blues was made for skin that reacts badly to conventional moisturisers. If you've tried cream after cream and your skin still burns, itches, flares or stays red this was made for you.

    what its used for:

    • Sensitive and reactive skin
    • Eczema-prone skin
    • Psoriasis-prone skin
    • Rosacea and redness-prone skin
    • Perioral dermatitis
    • Dry, irritated facial skin
    • Skin that reacts to synthetic fragrance or preservatives
    • Children with sensitive skin (patch test first)
    • Wanting a clean, simple natural daily moisturiser

    THE INGREDIENTS AND WHAT THEY DO

    Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

    Tallow has been used to care for skin for centuries. Grass-fed beef tallow has a fat profile almost identical to human skin lipids meaning it absorbs deeply without sitting on top of the skin or clogging pores. It is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid. These compounds support the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of redness, promote cell turnover and help the skin hold moisture naturally. Grass-fed tallow contains a superior nutritional profile.

    Organic Jojoba Oil

    Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester not an oil at all. This matters because its molecular structure is remarkably similar to the skin's own natural sebum. This makes it one of the most skin compatible moisturising ingredients on the planet. It absorbs easily, helps balance the skin's natural oil production and creates a lightweight protective layer without blocking pores. For sensitive, reactive, eczema and psoriasis-prone skin, Organic jojoba is one of the gentlest and most effective ingredients available.

    Blue Tansy Essential Oil

    Blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) gives Bootin the Blues its distinctive blue green colour. It is widely used in natural skincare for its calming properties and is a popular choice for sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin.

    Helichrysum Essential Oil

    Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), also known as Immortelle or Everlasting, is one of the most prized botanicals in natural skincare. Commonly used to support the appearance of calm, balanced skin particularly popular for sensitive or stressed skin.

    Chamomile Essential Oil

    Chamomile has been used for centuries in natural skincare for its gentle, calming properties. In Bootin the Blues it rounds out the botanical blend, adding another layer of gentleness to the formula.

    Full ingredients: Grass Fed Beef Tallow, Organic Jojoba Oil, Helichrysum Essential Oil, Blue Tansy Essential Oil, Chamomile Essential Oil.


    HOW TO USE BOOTIN THE BLUES

    Warm a small amount between your fingertips a little goes a long way. Apply to dry, red or irritated areas on face or body. Use daily as a moisturiser, spot treatment or as needed.

    For facial use: pea-sized amount morning and/or night on clean skin.
    For body use: apply to any dry, reactive, eczema, psoriasis or irritated areas as needed.

    SIZE: 113g / 4oz whipped tallow balm in amber glass jar.


    HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER BALMS?

    Outback Tallow Co makes three tallow balms, each for a different skin need:

    Bootin the Blues (this one) Sensitive, reactive, eczema, psoriasis and redness-prone skin. Whipped texture. Blue tansy, helichrysum and chamomile.

    WHIP CRACKIN Everyday full-body moisture. Whipped texture. Perfect for arms, legs, belly and back.

    PHAT BALM  concentrated firm tallow balm for seriously dry, cracked or rough skin. Hands, heels, elbows, lips.

    Not sure which one? If your skin is sensitive, reactive, eczema or psoriasis-prone start with Bootin the Blues.

    Kylie Ware

    As a beauty therapist, I’ve worked with countless high-end cosmedical brands but after years of struggling with dry, compromised skin from overusing active ingredients, using Outback Tallow Co truly changed things for me. My skin felt instantly nourished and calm, with dryness and irritation settling within days. It didn’t clog my pores or feel heavy just soft, balanced, and deeply hydrated. Over time, I noticed a smoother texture and a healthy, natural glow.

    What is Bootin' the Blues tallow balm?

    Bootin' the Blues is a whipped grass-fed beef tallow balm made for sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin. Unlike synthetic moisturisers loaded with fillers, it uses only five natural ingredients grass-fed beef tallow, organic jojoba oil, blue tansy essential oil, helichrysum essential oil and chamomile essential oil. Tallow's fat profile is almost identical to human skin, making it one of the most bioavailable moisturisers available. No synthetic fragrance, no preservatives, no nasties.

    Is tallow balm good for sensitive skin, and redness?

    Bootin' the Blues was specifically formulated for skin that reacts badly to conventional skincare. Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and has a lipid structure almost identical to our own skin cells meaning it absorbs without irritating. Organic Blue tansy essential oil gives the balm its distinctive colour and is widely used in natural skincare for sensitive and reactive skin. Helichrysum and chamomile round out the blend. Many customers with eczema, rosacea, perioral dermatitis and general skin sensitivity use it as their daily moisturiser. Bootin' the Blues is a skincare product, not a medicine, and we make no therapeutic claims.

    Can I use Bootin the Blues tallow balm on my face?

    Yes. Bootin the Blues works well as a natural facial moisturiser, especially for dry, sensitive, red or reactive facial skin. Because tallow is so compatible with human skin biology, it absorbs without leaving a heavy greasy residue. Use a pea-sized amount warmed between your fingertips and press gently into clean skin morning or night. It is particularly popular as a natural alternative to steroid creams and synthetic facial moisturisers for people with reactive skin conditions.

    Is beef tallow balm safe for babies and children?

    Tallow balm is one of the most popular natural skincare options for babies and young children precisely because of its simplicity. Bootin the Blues contains organic essential oils blue tansy, helichrysum and chamomile so we recommend patch testing on a small area first and avoiding the eye area. For very young babies or broken skin, check with your healthcare provider before use. Our Whip crackin whipped tallow balm contains no essential oils if you prefer a fragrance-free option for little ones.

    How is Bootin the Blues different from Whip crackin and Phat balm?

    All three Outback Tallow Co balms are made with grass-fed beef tallow but they are blended for different skin needs. Bootin the Blues is our sensitive skin balm formulated with organic blue tansy oil, helichrysum and chamomile for reactive, red and irritated skin. Whip crackin is our everyday full-body whipped tallow balm for deep all-over moisture. Phat balm is our concentrated firm balm designed for seriously dry, cracked or rough skin like heels, hands and elbows. Not sure which one is right for you? If your skin is sensitive or reactive, start with Bootin the Blues.

    Where is Bootin the Blues made and where does the tallow come from?

    Outback Tallow Co is proudly Australian owned. Bootin the Blues is formulated and developed in Australia and manufactured to our exact specifications. Our beef tallow is sourced from grass-fed cattle. Grass-fed tallow has a superior nutritional profile, with higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins and a better omega fatty acid ratio than conventional tallow. We believe what goes on your skin matters as much as what goes in your body.
