Tallow has been used for centuries around the world in both skincare and food. Traditional cultures prized it for its stability, nutrient content, and its ability to protect and restore skin under harsh conditions.

While modern skincare leans heavily on seed oils and synthetics, we’re bringing tallow back - for its unmatched nourishment, simplicity, and connection to local, regenerative resources.

Benefits of Tallow:

• Deeply moisturizing and long-lasting
• Supports skin barrier repair and promotes elasticity
• Won’t clog pores
• Helps soothe dry, irritated, or sensitive skin
• Safe and effective for all ages - truely all-purpose
• Naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Contains squalene - a skin-identical lipid that helps retain moisture and keep skin soft and supple
• Also provides conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), palmitic acid, and stearic acid - known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits
• less wasteful as parts of the animal regularly discarded are being utilized
• environmentally friendly incorporating locally sourced ingredients
