FAQs
1. What is Tallow?
Tallow is a nutrient-rich, moisturizing fat derived from the finest grass-fed beef kidney fat. It includes omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known for their powerful anti-inflammatory effects, it’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and fatty acids, making it especially beneficial for skin health. Tallow closely resembles the oils naturally found in human skin, which allows it to absorb quickly and nourish deeply without clogging pores. It helps to repair, soothe, and protect the skin, promoting a soft and smooth complexion.
2. What are the benefits of Tallow Based Skincare?
Tallow-based skincare is incredibly beneficial for maintaining balanced, healthy skin. Due to its natural fats and vitamins, tallow supports deep hydration, helping to smooth and soften skin texture. Unlike synthetic ingredients, tallow is easily absorbed, working in harmony with the skin’s natural oils to strengthen its protective barrier. This makes it particularly helpful for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin, providing long-lasting moisture and supporting the skin's natural healing processes.
3. What ingredients do you use?
Each of our products is 100% natural and handmade. While ingredients vary by product, all of them include grass-fed beef tallow, along with beneficial additions like magnesium, raw cane sugar, and a selection of essential oils, such as lavender, ylang-ylang, lemongrass, and others.
4. How do I apply products?
Clean the desired area thoroughly. Rub a small amount in hands until melted and apply. If using on face and neck, use about 1 marble size. If using only on face, use about 1 pea size. A little goes a very long way. Each jar should last 4+ months.
5. What do I do if Tallow gets clumpy or grainy?
Microwave for a few seconds to soften (but not melted) and stir. Tallow can get grainy or clumpy after sitting awhile. From the research I’ve done, it says some batches can do this because of how the cow digested its grass (the things I’ve learned, haha).
