Why Makers Trust Our Tallow

We're not middlemen selling someone else's product—we're makers ourselves. We know what works because we've spent nearly seven years perfecting recipes, testing batches, and listening to our customers. This tallow has been through thousands of formulations, and it's proven itself time and time again.

What makes it exceptional:

  • Premium Grass-Fed Beef - Sourced from pasture-raised cattle, never feedlots
  • Pure & Unscented - No fillers, no preservatives, no additives—just clean rendered tallow
  • Consistent Quality - The same high standards we demand for our own product line
  • Maker-Tested - Proven in real-world production for skincare, soaps, candles, and balms
  • Traditional Rendering - Time-honored methods that preserve the natural properties makers need
  • Made in USA - Traceable, transparent sourcing you can trust

Perfect for DIY Makers & Small Batch Crafters

Skincare & Balms: Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, our tallow creates luxurious moisturizers, whipped balms, salves, and body butters. It absorbs beautifully and mimics the natural oils in human skin—exactly why we built our entire skincare line around it.

Soap Making: Creates hard, long-lasting bars with a creamy lather. We've made thousands of bars with this tallow and it performs flawlessly in cold process, hot process, and melt-and-pour recipes.

Candle Making: Burns clean and slow with excellent scent throw. Our candle line is built on this tallow, and customers love the natural, sustainable alternative to paraffin and soy.

 

Available in Three Sizes for Every Project

  • 2 lbs - Perfect for testing recipes or small-batch crafting
  • 8 lbs - Ideal for regular makers and small production runs
  • 16 lbs - Best value for established makers and larger batches

Backed by Nearly 7 Years of Proven Results

When we started making tallow-based products, we were searching for the cleanest, most reliable source we could find. We tested. We refined. We built relationships with farmers who shared our values. And we've been using this same tallow ever since.

Our customers have spoken: over 25,000 five-star reviews across our product family, all made with this tallow. That's not marketing—that's proof.

A Tradition That Never Went Out of Style

For centuries, tallow was the foundation of soap making, candle crafting, and skincare. Our great-grandmothers knew its value. We're just bringing it back to modern makers who want the same quality, purity, and performance that's stood the test of time.

Whether you're a homesteader rendering your own products, a small-batch soap maker building a business, or a DIY enthusiast exploring traditional crafts—this is the tallow that works.

    Tallow FAQs

    What is tallow?

    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 tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.

    What are the uses for tallow skincare?

    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 fat 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 this 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.

    This isn’t pure “suet” tallow
    I’ve made and rendered suet numerous times and your product is not pure.
    I even messaged you about it, and got no response.
    Bad customer service and that alone shows that you’re being deceitful
    Will never again purchase a single item.

    Received my beautiful Tallow today. I can't believe it has absolutely no beefy smell. I've purchased other tallow and made a few facial balms and creams, but no matter how much essential oil I add, that smell lingers. Well, worry no more! Here is the only Tallow I'll use from now on!! I asked Google A. I. how tallow could be scentless, and it told me this: "That odorless and pure white appearance in your new tallow is achieved through a meticulous rendering and purification process. This is a sign of high-quality tallow that's ideal for skincare, as the goal is to remove impurities and the strong beef odor".
    So thank you Lady May for this great Tallow that I can finally make my wonderful tallow face cream!

    Best Rendered Grass-fed Beef Tallow

    I started my skincare beauty company trying to render my own beef tallow. Already having a full-time job and the business just starting out, i found it extremely time-consuming, so I searched for a better and more convenient option. I tried a couple more inexpensive brands but found too many inconsistencies with the textures and they weren't staying fully solidified so I continued my search for something better. Ladymay Tallow is the true winner and the best finished beef tallow by far. In smaller quantities, it's almost twice the cost of some others, but I found the buying it in larger bulk like their 16 pound tubs the price per pound was more comparable. Great product and highly recommend.

    This is NOT pure tallow!!!! Tallow is fat from the organ meat of a cow. It should be hard to the touch. This tallow I recieved is soft (which makes me believe that it is the fat from the cow, not the organ fat from the cow). VERY DISSAPOINTED!!!
