Question 1

What is Tallow?

Accepted Answer

Tallow is a nutrient-rich fat rendered from beef suet. Traditionally used for centuries in skincare, tallow closely mimics the natural composition of human skin, making it incredibly effective at locking in hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Its high concentration of skin-friendly lipids, such as oleic and palmitic acid, helps keep your skin soft, nourished, and protected.

Question 2

Why is Tallow Good for my Skin?

Accepted Answer

Tallow is highly compatible with human skin because its composition closely resembles the natural oils (sebum) our skin produces. It's packed with skin-friendly lipids, such as oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. By locking in hydration, tallow helps prevent moisture loss, soothes dry or irritated skin, and promotes softness and elasticity.
Our skincare line also incorporates essential oils, infused botanicals, and other carefully selected ingredients, such as unrefined, cold-pressed organic oils like argan, sweet almond, and jojoba. These ingredients are rich in healing and beneficial properties, enhancing the nourishing power of our products to support healthy, radiant skin.

Question 3

Are Your Products Really All-Natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our products are made with natural ingredients, including tallow that we dry render from grass-fed and grass-finished beef suet, organic unrefined cold-pressed carrier oils, organic essential oils, and infused botanicals. We carefully research and select the sources of our ingredients to ensure they meet our high standards for quality, sustainability, and purity.

By prioritizing simple, wholesome ingredients and avoiding synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, harmful additives, preservatives, and dyes, we create skincare that is gentle, effective, and rooted in nature.

Question 4

Are Your Products Suitable for All Skin Types?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. While our tallow-based skincare products are formulated to be gentle and effective for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin, we understand that individual skin sensitivities and allergies can vary. Some people may have sensitivities or intolerances to certain ingredients.

While each product is designed to be gentle and nourish all skin types, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin before full use, ensuring compatibility with your unique skin. Your comfort and confidence in our products are our top priorities.

If you are pregnant or wish to use on children under the age of 12, we recommend consulting a physician before use to ensure they are suitable for you and your little ones.

Question 5

How is Your Tallow Rendered?

Accepted Answer

After carefully hand-removing any visible impurities from our grass-fed and grass-finished suet, we dry render at precisely low temperatures to preserve its natural nutrients. Our method ensures that the tallow retains its beneficial properties without the risk of overheating. We then filter the tallow multiple times to ensure all impurities are removed, leaving a pure, buttery smelling and nutrient-rich product that is ideal for skincare.

Question 6

How Should I Store Tallow Skincare Products?

Accepted Answer

Store your products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality. Always avoid introducing moisture into your jar.  We do not recommend refrigerating your products, as this can introduce moisture to the product. Without preservatives, excess moisture can create an environment for mold.

To avoid introducing moisture or bacteria, we recommend using dry, clean hands or a spatula when applying the product. When stored properly, the shelf life of our products is 12 months.

Please note that products are temperature sensitive. When exposed to temperatures above 90°F our formulas may begin to melt. While this can alter the texture with some of our formulas, it will not compromise the benefits or effectiveness of the product.

Question 7

How Long do Your Products Last?

Accepted Answer

Almost all of our products have a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the quality and effectiveness of the products, be sure to avoid introducing moisture and use clean, dry hands or a spatula.

If you notice any changes in texture, smell, or appearance, it’s best to discard the product to ensure your skin continues to receive the best care possible.

We have expiration dates printed on the bottom of all of our products.
