Understanding Tallow
Beef tallow isn't just an ingredient; it's nature's closest match to your skin's own composition. The fatty acid profile of grass-fed tallow mirrors human sebum remarkably closely, containing palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and other beneficial compounds that your skin readily recognizes and absorbs.
Cattle raised on pasture produce tallow with superior nutritional profiles. Higher levels of vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus beneficial conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), create a more potent skincare ingredient. Our Ohio-sourced, 100% grass-fed tallow ensures these optimal benefits in every jar.
Tallow has nourished skin for centuries across cultures worldwide. What our ancestors knew intuitively, modern science now confirms: this natural fat moisturizes deeply without the heaviness. It's naturally low on the comedogenic scale, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts.

FAQs
Do you use synthetic preservatives?
We rely primarily on natural preservation methods, including vitamin E and the antimicrobial properties of certain oils. Our small-batch production and careful packaging ensure freshness without synthetic additives.
How do you ensure ingredient quality?
Every ingredient undergoes multiple quality checks, from sourcing verification to final product testing. Our suppliers must meet our strict standards for purity and ethical practices.
Why choose animal-based ingredients over plant alternatives?
While we use both, animal-based ingredients like tallow offer unique benefits due to their similarity to human skin composition. We ensure all animal-derived ingredients meet strict ethical standards.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Most of our ingredients rate low on the comedogenic scale and are chosen for their gentle, skin-compatible properties. However, we recommend patch testing for those with known sensitivities.
