What is Tallow?

  • Tallow is beef fat.

    Tallow is a highly refined form of fat, purified for purity and potency. While it’s been a trusted skincare remedy for centuries, it’s experiencing a well-deserved resurgence in popularity today.

    Fats, along with proteins, are the essential building blocks of every cell membrane, including your skin. They not only provide vital energy but also enhance mineral absorption and deliver a wealth of nourishing vitamins. Tallow helps hydrate and restore your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and healthy.

  • Tallow contains the same fats or lipids found in human skin.

    Lipids play a vital role in forming a protective yet breathable barrier for the skin. They help guard against infection while preserving moisture, flexibility, and the overall structure of each cell.

    Tallow is particularly effective for skincare because it closely resembles the natural oils our skin produces. This biological similarity allows tallow to be absorbed easily and efficiently, enabling your skin to fully benefit from its nourishing properties.

  • Tallow is believed to prevent dryness at the cellular level.

    Beef tallow, sourced from grass-fed cattle, is rich in essential vitamins A, D, and K, along with powerful antioxidants like vitamin E. Vitamin E is especially known for its rejuvenating effects, helping to combat free radicals that contribute to the formation of wrinkles.

    In addition to its vitamins, tallow boasts natural antimicrobial properties that help prevent acne and breakouts. Its potent anti-inflammatory benefits also work to soothe and calm irritated skin, promoting a healthier complexion.

Tallow FAQ's

Is your beef tallow grass-fed and organic?

Yes, our beef tallow is sourced from grass-fed cattle raised in Vermont, where farming practices are held to the highest standards. These cows roam freely on lush pastures, ensuring they receive a natural, nutrient-rich diet. We take pride in offering a product that is not only grass-fed but also free from hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs, making it a pure, wholesome choice for your skincare and cooking needs.

Is Tallow Non Comedogenic?

Yes, tallow is considered non-comedogenic for most skin types. Unlike many synthetic oils or heavy creams, tallow closely mirrors the natural oils (sebum) produced by our skin, making it highly compatible and less likely to clog pores. Its rich, nourishing properties can help balance your skin's oil production, promoting hydration without causing breakouts. However, as with any product, individual skin sensitivities may vary, so we recommend doing a patch test if you have concerns.

How is your beef tallow made?

Our beef tallow is sourced from high-quality, grass-fed cows. We carefully render the fat in small batches to maintain its nutritional integrity. We don't add any artificial additives or preservatives—just pure, natural tallow.

Is beef tallow environmentally friendly?

Yes! Grass-fed beef production supports more sustainable farming practices. By using all parts of the animal, including the fat, beef tallow reduces waste and maximizes the value of each animal.

When is the best time to use tallow in my skincare routine?

The best time to use tallow in your skincare routine is immediately after cleansing, while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps lock in moisture and allows the tallow to absorb more effectively. It’s ideal for both morning and night use, depending on your skincare needs. In the morning, tallow can help create a protective barrier against environmental stressors, while at night, it deeply nourishes and repairs your skin as you sleep. For optimal results, apply a small amount to your face, body, or any dry areas, and massage gently for smooth, hydrated skin.
