Question 1

What is tallow, and why do you use it in your skincare products?

Tallow is rendered animal fat, typically from cows. We use 100% grass-fed beef tallow in our skincare products for its rich nutrient content, moisturising properties, and similarity to the skin's natural oils.

Question 2

Is tallow suitable for all skin types?

How should I store your tallow-based skincare products?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Do you offer international shipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer international shipping to selected destinations. Please refer to our shipping policies for more information on available countries and associated costs.

Question 13

Does tallow smell bad?

Accepted Answer

Organic, grass-fed beef tallow does have a beefy scent, it differs from mild to slightly stronger between batches. Tallow products tend to have differences like this because of their strong nutritional profile, which is unavoidable. We offer scented tallow products, infused with essential oils to maintain the nutritional power of tallow while offering a pleasant smell. However, if you don't mind the subtle beefy smell, try our pure, unscented tallow products!
