Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS TALLOW
Beef Tallow is the rendered fat of any ruminant, most commonly cows.
Pork Tallow (Lard) is the same, but from pigs.
Tallow has been used for centuries in skincare. With bioavailable vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and various fatty acids, tallow helps soften, moisturise, and revitalise the skin.
DO YOUR PRODUCTS HAVE A 'BEEFY' OR 'PORKY' SCENT?
We get this question all the time and while it is very valid, the answer is no!
We use a slow, traditional rendering process that leaves a neutral smelling, nutrient rich tallow.
HOW MUCH TALLOW SHOULD I USE?
A little goes a long way with our tallow products. Start by using the size of a pea and see if you need more! Tallow will soak into your skin and leave your skin barrier deeply moisturised.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY TALLOW PRODUCTS?
Store your moisturiser away from light and drastic temperature changes.
To maintain its original texture, store your moisturiser at room temperature. Extreme temperatures can cause the tallow to harden in cold conditions or melt in hot conditions. If this occurs, there's no need to worry; the moisturiser is still usable, but know the texture may change.
CAN I USE TALLOW IF I HAVE OILY SKIN?
Yes! When the skin is excessively cleansed and stripped of its natural oils, it tends to overproduce oil. Using a high-quality tallow or lard based moisturiser, can help maintain skin's moisture balance and prevent excess oil production.
CAN I USE TALLOW IF I HAVE ACNE-PRONE SKIN?
Yes! The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing qualities of grass-fed tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.
WHAT ARE THE USES FOR TALLOW SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
There are many uses for your tallow skincare products.
Our products can be used for moisturising the skin (face & body), diaper rashes, and eczema/other skin irritations. Beef tallow is amazing if you have sensitive skin but if you're extra sensitive, we suggest trying our 'Oinkment' first as it's even better!
DO YOU OFFER WHOLESALE DISCOUNTS?
Yes! Send us an email enquiry and we'll contact you.
IS THIS PRODUCT ORGANIC?
Our tallow boasts a clean label with no artificial ingredients. However, it is not certified organic.
WHERE DOES THE TALLOW COME FROM?
We use all that fat from cows and pigs in different products.
The most neutral of all fats, from cows and pigs, is called suet or leaf fat which is around the kidney areas and loins.
Our "nose-to-tail" philosophy ensure that no fat goes to waste, utilising all parts of the animal for their unique benefits for a premium blend of beef tallow and pork tallow (lard).
ARE THE FARMS SUSTAINABLE?
Yes, the farms we partner with focus on ethical practices that respect both the land and the animals. Every batch of our tallow carries the promise of sustainability and a nod to generations past.
DOES THE PRODUCT NEED TO BE REFRIGERATED?
No, the product is shelf-stable at room temperature. However, you can refrigerate or freeze it if you wish to extend the shelf life. Refrigeration will make the product harder.
