What exactly is tallow, and why is it used in skincare?
Tallow is a nutrient rich, rendered fat traditionally sourced from grass-fed beef. It’s been used for centuries in skincare for its deeply moisturizing and skin supportive properties. We use only grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow for its purity and integrity.
Why use tallow in skincare?
Tallow closely mirrors the structure of our own skin's sebum, making it incredibly compatible and effective. It helps restore the skin barrier, lock in moisture, soothe irritation, and support overall skin health, naturally and without synthetic fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tallow safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes! Tallow is gentle, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and full of vitamins A, D, E, and K making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or reactive skin. Our formulations are carefully balanced with soothing botanical oils to support all skin types.
Does tallow smell like beef?
Nope! When rendered & purified properly, high-quality grass-fed tallow has a very mild scent": earthy, clean, and slightly nutty. We lightly infuse ours with botanical & essential oils to enhance the efficacy of our skincare.
What is the return policy?
Due to the handcrafted nature of our products and for safety and hygiene reasons, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Each item is made in small batches with care and intention, and we hope you feel that in every jar.
Is using tallow ethical and sustainable?
Our tallow is sourced from local farms that honor the whole animal. Rather than letting this nourishing ingredient go to waste, we repurpose it with intention, creating skin loving products that support sustainability and full circle wellness.
Is it safe on my face and body?
Absolutely!! Our tallow based creams are safe for both face and body. The simplicity of the ingredients means you can use one product to support multiple needs, without compromising quality, purity, or performance.
Lost or damaged package?
If your order arrives damaged or appears lost in transit, please reach out within 5 days of delivery or expected delivery. We’ll do our best to make it right and ensure you feel supported every step of the way!
What happens if my tallow cream softens during shipping?
Tallow is a natural lipid, or fat that can be sensitive to temperature changes, so it may soften or partially melt during transit, especially in warmer weather. If your cream arrives softer than expected, simply give it a gentle stir (if needed) and place it in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. It will naturally firm back up over time. Refrigeration is not required, but you may chill it briefly if you prefer a firmer texture.
How do I store my tallow products?
Keep your tallow products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
When stored properly in a cool, dry place and kept free from moisture, tallow cream typically has a shelf life of 6 to 12 months.
To preserve the integrity of your product, we recommend using clean, dry hands during use.
Can changes to my tallow creams occur during shipping?
Yes, since our tallow cream is made with natural, unrefined ingredients and no synthetic stabilizers, you may notice slight changes in texture or color, especially after shipping. This is completely normal and does not affect its quality or efficacy.
