Just like Grandma: Beef tallow—or tallow—is an ancestral skincare product. Our ancestors relied almost exclusively on animal fats to nourish, protect, and repair their skin. Enjoy our lightweight, melt-in-your-mouth tallow cream for a modern take on our ancestral legacy.
Vitamin Treasure Trove: Beef tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, and B1, as well as stearic acid, oleic acid, and saturated fat. This makes it a nourishing lip balm that's also incredibly shelf-stable! (Since these ingredients are unadulterated, slight variations in texture are common.)
Sourcing: Our tallow comes from smallholder farmers who practice regenerative agriculture. This means they rotate their herds year-round and feed nothing but grass. These healthy, happy cows produce a beautiful golden fat rich in vitamins and minerals. Our primary tallow supplier is Polyface Farms in Virginia. We render every batch of tallow on our own farm using slow-rendering techniques.
Gentle, clean aroma: Some tallow creams on the market can have a harsh odor. We're proud to bring you this tallow balm, which smells just lightly of butter upon opening, with no beefy or offensive pungent odors. Enjoy clean, natural skincare, and say goodbye to the smell of steak (if you're not a fan of steak...).
