"The Kraken supposed a sepia or cuttle-fish from Denys Montfort" - an antique engraved print published by William Jardine in "The Naturalist's Library", in 1833-1843.

Pierre Denys de Montfort (1766–1820) was a French naturalist, in particular a malacologist, remembered today for his pioneering inquiries into the existence of the gigantic octopus Architeuthis. He was inspired by a description from 1783 of an eight-metre long tentacle found in the mouth of a sperm whale. He describes an account of a merchant ship's crew of an attack by a giant sea monster off the coast of Angola: "An enormous cuttle-fish suddenly threw its arms across the vessel, and it was on the pint of dragging it to the bottom, when the continuous efforts of the crew succeeded in cutting off the tentacula with swords and hatchets. During the period of their greatest danger, they invoked the aid of St Thomas, and being successful in freeing themselves from their dreadful opponent, on their return home they went in procession to the chapel (St Thomas chapel at St. Malo, France), and offered up their thanksgivings. They also procured a painter to represent, as accurately as possible, their encounter, and the danger which at the moment threatened the termination of their existence."

Sir William Jardine, 7th Baronet of Applegarth (1800 – 1874) was a Scottish naturalist. Jardine made natural history available to all levels of Victorian society by editing the hugely popular forty volumes of The Naturalist's Library (1833–1843) issued and published by his brother in law, the Edinburgh printer and engraver, William Home Lizars.

Wow! So moisturizing!
OMGosh, this feels so good on your lips! I just got this today so I’ll have to update if the moisture doesn’t last. But so far it feels nice. I did have a slight issue with it melting onto itself in the one day it took to get to me. See photos. The tube itself was slightly concave because of the melting. But is still intact. So far though I love this stuff!

Pretty good stuff
Not a miracle cream, but I've certainly paid more for worse lip balm. The tallow is helping keep my lips hydrated, and it feels great when applied. Just got Invisalign, and I struggle with hydration normally, but this is helping keep the lips soft and smooth, and is miles ahead of the cheap drugstore brands that dry more than they help.

Worth a try, I guess.
Picked up this beef tallow lip balm for my husband. We had the worst winter and everything was so dry. He is used to using the waxy sticks you buy at the big box stores to treat his dry lips. He has been using tallow and I noticed this lip balm and thought he might like it. The stick is quite big. Thicker than the normal waxy stick you might buy at the store. In line with some of the larger sticks I have seen in the stores by some of the men's lines that are out there. He used it often and found it to work well. Did it work better than some of the waxy sticks from the store, he didn't think so but it was on par with those. He does like that it is natural. He told me that he would apply it and his lips would feel good and it would last for a while and just like any other product he would try, his lips would be dry again after a while. I would say that generally, it sounds like an average product but it's natural. Worth a try, I guess!
