Tallow is rendered animal fat, typically from cows or sheep. It’s rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are known to nourish and moisturize the skin. Tallow closely resembles the natural oils in human skin, making it an excellent emollient.

Yes, tallow is generally safe for all skin types, including dry, oily, and sensitive skin. Its fatty acids help balance moisture and can soothe irritation.

Tallow has a similar composition to the oils naturally produced by our skin, so it's less likely to clog pores compared to some synthetic moisturizers.

Tallow can be helpful for people with acne because it’s rich in nutrients that support skin healing and can balance oil production. However, if you have active breakouts, you might want to test it on a small area first to make sure it doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts.

Tallow is nutrient-rich, deeply moisturizing, and absorbed quickly by the skin. Unlike many commercial lotions, our tallow-based products contain no synthetic chemicals, making them a more natural alternative. They are also great for people seeking a minimalistic, chemical-free skincare routine.

Pure tallow can have a mild, natural scent, which some people may find earthy. Many of our products are scented with essential oils or infused with herbs to mask or enhance this natural odor. If you're sensitive to scents, check for fragrance-free or lightly scented options.

Tallow-based lotions should be stored in a cool, dry place. They do not require refrigeration but should be kept away from direct sunlight or excessive heat to maintain their potency and prevent the product from reshaping.

Please note that our products are crafted with natural ingredients and contain no preservatives or emulsifiers. As a result, changes in temperature and environmental conditions may affect the shape and consistency of the product. However, this does not impact its quality. For the best application, we recommend warming the product by rubbing it between your fingers before use.

Our products have a long shelf life due to the natural preservation qualities of the fats. When stored properly, they can last several months to a year. Always check for any changes in color or smell as these can indicate spoilage.
