How to Use Tallow Cream Without Clogging Your Pores

Even the best ingredients can cause issues if you’re using them wrong—tallow included. While it’s naturally non-comedogenic for most skin types, applying too much or layering it over certain products can overwhelm your pores. The key? Less is more. Start with clean, slightly damp skin and warm a pea-sized amount of tallow cream between your fingers before pressing it into your face.

Tallow works best when it’s the last step in your skincare routine. It locks in moisture and helps reinforce your skin’s natural barrier, so don’t layer it over heavy serums or harsh actives that could cause irritation. If you’re acne-prone, try using tallow cream at night only for the first week and monitor how your skin responds. Most people find it absorbs better than they expected and leaves skin soft—not shiny.

Garden Club’s Tallow Cream is designed with simplicity in mind. No filler oils, no synthetic junk—just pure, nutrient-dense moisture your skin can recognize and use. If you’ve been worried about clogged pores, try a patch test first—and then enjoy skincare that actually makes sense.
