Product Questions
What makes tallow an effective skincare product?
Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids that closely mirror the natural oils in human skin. That similarity makes it deeply nourishing and highly bioavailable—meaning your skin actually recognizes and absorbs it with ease. Unlike many modern moisturizers filled with synthetic additives, tallow helps restore balance, support the skin barrier, and lock in lasting hydration without clogging pores. It’s especially effective for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin because it works with your skin, not against it.
How should tallow be used on skin?
You can use tallow as a daily face moisturizer, a nourishing body cream, or even as a targeted treatment for dry spots like elbows, hands, or heels. Because it’s so rich and concentrated, start with less than you think you’ll need—you can always add more.
What Conditions is tallow effective for?
Tallow is especially helpful for dry, sensitive, and easily irritated skin. Its nutrient-rich profile supports the skin barrier, making it effective for calming redness, soothing rough patches, and deeply moisturizing areas prone to flaking. Many people find it helpful for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and chapped or windburned skin—anytime the skin needs extra nourishment and protection.
Is tallow safe to use on babies and children?
Yes—because tallow is made of simple, natural fats that closely resemble the oils in our own skin, it’s generally very well tolerated by even the most delicate skin. That’s why many parents use it for dry patches, chapped cheeks, or as an all-over moisturizer for little ones. Our formula is free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and synthetic additives, making it a safe and gentle option. That said, every child’s skin is unique, so we always recommend doing a small patch test first and consulting your pediatrician if your baby has specific skin conditions or sensitivities.
Is tallow safe to use on elderly people?
Absolutely. Tallow is gentle, nutrient-rich, and deeply moisturizing, which makes it an excellent option for mature skin. As we age, skin naturally becomes thinner, drier, and more sensitive—tallow’s blend of vitamins and fatty acids helps replenish lost moisture and support the skin barrier without irritation. It can be especially soothing for common concerns in older adults like dryness, itchiness, or fragile skin that needs extra care. As always, we suggest patch testing first if the skin is very delicate or if there are specific medical concerns.
what ingredients are in your tallow products?
Just five—nothing more, nothing less. We keep our formula simple and intentional so every ingredient earns its place:
100% Grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow – nutrient-rich fats that mimic your skin’s natural oils, providing deep, lasting moisture.
Calendula flower – known for its calming properties, helping soothe irritation and redness.
Raw manuka honey – a natural humectant that draws in hydration while supporting skin health.
Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant that helps protect and nourish the skin.
Jojoba oil – lightweight and balancing, helping the balm glide on smoothly without feeling greasy.
No fillers, no harsh chemicals—just ingredients your skin already knows and loves.
Where do you source your ingredients from?
We’re intentional about every ingredient we use. Our beef tallow comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle, ensuring both quality and sustainability. We source calendula flower, raw manuka honey, vitamin E, and jojoba oil from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to purity and transparency. Each ingredient is chosen not just for where it comes from, but for how it’s grown, harvested, and processed—so you can feel confident that what you’re putting on your skin is as natural and effective as it gets.
