FAQ
1. What is tallow?
Tallow is a rendered form of fat, typically from grass-fed cows or sheep. It is rich in nutrients and closely resembles the natural oils found in human skin, making it an excellent moisturizer and skin protectant.
2. Is tallow safe for all skin types?
Yes! Tallow is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and dry skin. Its composition is similar to human sebum, making it highly compatible with our skin.
3. Where does your tallow come from?
We source our tallow from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals from trusted farms with ethical and sustainable practices. Quality and purity are our top priorities.
4. Does tallow smell bad?
Properly rendered, high-quality tallow should have a very mild or neutral scent. Many of our products are also lightly scented with essential oils for added skin benefits and a pleasant aroma.
5. Is tallow skincare cruelty-free?
Yes. While tallow is an animal-derived ingredient, our products are made from byproducts of animals already harvested for meat, reducing waste. We never test on animals.
6. Can vegans use tallow skincare?
Tallow is an animal-based product, so it is not considered vegan. However, many customers appreciate its sustainability and effectiveness compared to synthetic alternatives.
7. What are the benefits of using tallow on the skin?
Tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health. It deeply moisturizes, supports the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.
8. How do I use tallow balm or cream?
Use a small amount and massage it into clean, damp skin. A little goes a long way! It can be used on the face, body, lips, or anywhere you need moisture and healing.
9. Will tallow make my skin greasy?
Tallow absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue when used in small amounts. It nourishes deeply without clogging pores.
10. Can tallow help with eczema, psoriasis, or acne?
Many customers have reported relief from dry skin conditions, inflammation, and breakouts thanks to tallow’s healing properties. While we don't claim to cure skin conditions, tallow can support overall skin health.
11. How should I store my tallow products?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Tallow has a long shelf life, but refrigeration may extend freshness for products with added natural ingredients.
12. Are there any preservatives in your products?
No synthetic preservatives are used. Our products are made with natural ingredients only. Some may contain essential oils with antimicrobial properties to help extend shelf life.
13. Do you offer unscented options?
Yes! We offer unscented versions of our tallow products for those with sensitivities or who prefer no added fragrance.
14. Is your packaging eco-friendly?
We are committed to sustainability and use recyclable or reusable containers whenever possible.
15. Can children or babies use tallow skincare?
Absolutely. Our unscented and pure tallow balms are gentle enough for babies and children, making them great for diaper rash, dry patches, and sensitive skin.
