Frequently asked questions
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.
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.

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.
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.
