Frequently asked questions
What is Tallow?
Tallow is rendered fat from cattle. It's a natural nutrient-rich fat that has been used for centuries in skincare, cooking and grooming. Our tallow is processed to be clean, non-toxic, and suitable for sensitive skin. We use stainless steal throughout our whole "rendering process" which is the purification stage before we make our skincare products
We use beef suet for our moisturizers. Suet is the fat around the kidneys and internal organs which have a higher concentration of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. For our soap products we use the fat trimmings.
Where is your tallow sourced from?
Our tallow is sourced from our farm on the outskirts of Brisbane.
What Does Tallow Smell Like?
Our tallow is rendered and purified to be a very mild scent. Any natural aroma is subtle and smooth, often described as earthy non the less very mild. We have tallow creams that are scented if you prefer a more fragrant aroma.
Is your tallow from Grass fed cows?
Yes. Our tallow comes from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle, raised on pasture and naturally. They are hormone-free and produced with human pasture-raised practices.
Is my skin suited for tallow?
Most of our products are suitable for normal to dry skin. Our Heal product is suitable for ALL skin types. We formulated this product for those with eczema, psoriasis and those with acne prone skin. We always say patch test and start small and increase slowly.
Tallow is highly emollient fat that can help lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
it is generally well-tolerated, but people with sensitive or reactive skin should always do a patch test first and introduce gradually.
