FAQs

What exactly is tallow and why should I put it on my skin?

Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cattle that closely matches human skin's natural oils. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it provides deep nourishment and protection. Its molecular structure allows for optimal absorption and skin cell regeneration.

Won't it make me smell like beef or feel greasy?

Not at all! Our tallow balm is odorless and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. It leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished, never oily.

Can I really use this on my face AND my baby?

Yes! Pure tallow is naturally compatible with all skin types and ages. Its gentle yet deeply nourishing properties make it perfect for everything from facial care to diaper cream, eliminating the need for multiple products.

As always test this in a small area before applying widely, and consult a physician if you have any concerns.

How do you ensure quality at a larger scale?

We partner exclusively with producers of cosmetic/food-grade grass-fed, grass-finished tallow (it's a mouthful!). By scaling thoughtfully, we deliver consistent quality at accessible prices.

How long does it last once opened?

Our balm stays fresh for approximately one year at room temperature, no refrigeration needed. For best results, use clean hands or a spatula and keep away from direct heat and sunlight (the tinted glass helps with these). If you're still using it one year later . . .

Is this better for the environment than conventional skincare?

Yes! Unlike conventional skincare filled with petroleum-based ingredients (nothing wrong with petroleum, we just prefer not to put it on our faces), our simple formula makes use of existing byproducts while supporting sustainable agriculture.
