The backbone of Hand Tack TORO.
Our tallow is sourced from grass-fed and finished cattle raised on 5 Springs Ranch, a small, family-run operation in Missouri that values stewardship of both herd and land.
Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and its composition closely mirrors the skin’s natural oils — making it one of the most effective, bioavailable moisturizers nature provides. It deeply conditions, restores elasticity, and helps repair the skin’s barrier after exposure to wind, sun, or work.
Benefit: Deep nourishment and long-lasting hydration that penetrates where it’s needed most.
Jojoba Oil
A natural conditioning oil that mimics human sebum, helping to balance moisture levels without clogging pores. Jojoba brings lightweight hydration and improves glide, ensuring the balm or whip absorbs easily without a greasy finish.
Benefit: Smooth, non-greasy moisture that leaves skin feeling supple and conditioned.
Shea Butter
Known for its rich concentration of fatty acids and vitamins, shea butter softens, soothes, and protects skin from environmental stressors. It enhances the creamy texture of the whip while adding a touch of luxurious nourishment.
Benefit: Restores softness and comfort, especially to dry or irritated areas.
Beeswax
A natural barrier that locks in moisture while shielding skin from harsh conditions. Beeswax adds structure to the balm and helps create a breathable layer that resists water loss — ideal for anyone who works with their hands or faces the elements daily.
Benefit: Long-lasting protection against cracking, chapping, and environmental wear.
Moringa Seed Oil
Called “the Miracle Tree” for a reason — moringa oil is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that promote skin repair and renewal. It helps fade rough patches, supports collagen, and gives the balm a silky, quick-absorbing feel.
Benefit: Revitalizes and supports skin recovery for a smoother, more resilient texture.
Meadowfoam Oil
Exceptionally stable and lightweight, meadowfoam oil helps lock in hydration and extend the life of other natural oils in the blend. It creates a velvety finish and enhances the balm’s longevity without feeling heavy.
Benefit: Seals in moisture while enhancing overall texture and shelf life.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)
A natural antioxidant that protects skin and oils from oxidation. Vitamin E supports healing and helps combat the effects of free radicals from sun and environmental exposure.
Benefit: Promotes skin repair and helps extend product freshness naturally.
*Fragrance
Most Hand Tack TORO blends are lightly scented, designed to complement, not overpower. Subtle enough for daily use, rugged enough to carry the Cowboy Grade signature: refined simplicity, handcrafted strength.
Benefit: Live Western...Smell Legendary! Because...Why not?
