About tallow
What is tallow, and why use it on skin?
Tallow is rendered beef fat. We use 100% grass-fed and finished beef tallow from a small farm in Delaware. It is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and similar to your skin's own oils, so it absorbs easily. Read more: Why Tallow?
Does it smell like beef?
No. Our tallow is rendered three times, specifically for skincare, so it does not smell like beef.
How does tallow feel on skin?
It feels wonderful on the skin. Tallow is very similar in structure to your skin's natural oils, so it absorbs easily.
Which tallow balm should I choose?
All our tallow balms share the same base: grass-fed and finished beef tallow, organic jojoba oil and organic vitamin E. Choose Lavender, Vanilla Bean, or Unscented (Free + Clear).
