FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Isn’t tallow just fat?  Yes - tallow is rendered beef fat, but don’t let that fool you.  When properly sourced from grass-fed animals, it becomes a nutrient-dense, skin-loving moisturizer that has been used for centuries.

Does it smell like beef? No! Properly rendered and blended with botanicals and/or essential oils, tallow is virtually scent-free, carrying only that natural aromas of the oils it’s paired with.

Is tallow sustainable? Absolutely. By using high-quality grass-fed tallow, we’re reducing waste and honouring the whole animal. It’s a more sustainable alternative to many plant oils that require heavy processing or oversees shipping.

Can I use tallow products on sensitive skin and/or babies? Yes. Tallow is gentle, soothing and well-tolerated by most skin types. We even include it in our baby range for delicate skin.

Why not just use plant oils? Plant oils are wonderful, but they don’t always mimic the skin’s natural biology. Tallow’s unique composition make it especially effective and nourishing, repairing and protecting the skin barrier.
