FAQ

Is this product truly halal certified?

Yes. Tayyib Skincare is certified by an accredited halal authority. Every ingredient, every batch, every supplier — verified. Halal is our baseline, not an afterthought. Certification documentation is available on request.

Will it feel greasy or clog my pores?

No — and this is the most common concern. Tallow's fatty acid profile closely matches your skin's natural sebum, which means it absorbs completely rather than sitting on the surface. A pea-sized amount is all you need. Most people find it lighter than their previous moisturiser.

Can I use it before salah (prayer)?

Yes. Tayyib Tallow Balm contains zero alcohol and is formulated to be fully absorbed by the time you're ready for wudu. It leaves no oily film that would interfere with water reaching your skin. It is safe to use before prayers.

Does it have a smell? Will it clash with my perfume?

Our Unscented variety has a very mild, clean natural scent that fades completely within minutes of application. The Lavender and Vanilla Bean varieties use gentle natural fragrance only. None clash with perfume — because by the time you're applying your oud or musk, the balm is long absorbed.

Is the tallow from halal-slaughtered animals?

Yes, absolutely. The tallow in every pot of Tayyib Tallow Balm is sourced exclusively from animals slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines. This is non-negotiable for us, and it is verified through our halal certification process. We would not source it any other way.

How long until I see results?

Hydration and softness are noticeable from the first few applications. Dark spots and scarring improve from 4–6 weeks of daily use. Full barrier restoration typically takes 8–12 weeks. Consistency is everything — morning and night, every day.

Is it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Because tallow so closely mirrors the skin's own lipid structure, it is generally very well-tolerated — including by sensitive and acne-prone skin. Many customers with rosacea, eczema, and chronic acne have reported significant improvement. If you have highly reactive skin, start with a small area first.

Can I use it on my body, not just my face?

Absolutely. Tayyib Tallow Balm works beautifully on hands, elbows, cuticles, lips, and dry patches anywhere on the body. Many customers use it as an all-over moisturiser in winter. One pot goes a long way on the face — a little more if you're covering larger areas.

What if it doesn't work for me?

We stand behind every pot. If you're not satisfied within 30 days, reach out and we'll make it right — no lengthy returns process, no hard questions. Our 13,500+ customers didn't find us by accident, but we know skincare is personal.
