Frequently Asked Questions

What is tallow?

Our tallow products are derived from 100% grass-fed beef.

Tallow has been used for centuries in skincare. With bioavailable vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and various fatty acids, tallow helps soften, moisturize, and revitalize the skin.

Do your products have a "beefy" scent?

We get this question all the time and while it is very valid, the answer is no!

We use a wet-rendering process for all of our tallow products. This completely purifies the tallow, leaving it odorless, while maintaining the key nutrients and benefits for your skin!

How Much tallow should i use?

A little goes a long way with our tallow products. Start by using the size of a penny and see if you need more! Tallow will soak into your skin and leave your skin barrier deeply moisturized.

How should i store my tallow products?

Store your moisturizer away from light and drastic temperature changes.

To maintain its original texture, store your moisturizer in a typical temperature-controlled environment (68-74 degrees). Extreme temperatures can cause the tallow to harden in cold conditions or melt in warm conditions. If this occurs, there's no need to worry; the moisturizer is still usable, but know the texture may change.

Can I use tallow if i have oily skin?

Yes! When the skin is excessively cleansed and stripped of its natural oils, it tends to overproduce oil. Using a high-quality moisturizer, like whipped tallow, can help maintain skin's moisture balance and prevent excess oil production.

can i use tallow if i have acne-prone skin?

Yes! The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing qualities of grass-fed tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.

what are the uses for tallow skincare products?

There are many uses for your tallow skincare products.

Our products can be used for moisturizing the skin (face & body), diaper rashes, and eczema/other skin irritations.

Is this product organic?

Our tallow boasts a clean label with no artificial ingredients. However, it is not certified organic.

What part of the cow does the far come from? is it suet?

The fat we use primarily comes from the kidney area and loins of the cow. This specific type of fat is known as suet, prized for its purity and quality. Our "nose-to-tail sustainable farms" ensure that no fat goes to waste, utilizing all parts of the animal for their unique benefits for a premium blend of beef tallow.

Are the farms sustainable?

Yes, the farms we partner with focus on ethical practices that respect both the land and the animals. Every batch of our tallow carries the promise of sustainability and a nod to generations past.

does the product need to be refrigerated?

No, the product is shelf-stable at room temperature. However, you can refrigerate or freeze it if you wish to extend the shelf life. Refrigeration will make the product harder, but many bakers prefer this consistency for creating flakier crusts.
