FAQ
Find answers to common questions about our grass-fed tallow skincare products.
Products
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cattle. We use it because it's the most compatible fat with human skin, containing vitamins A, D, E, and K. It closely mimics our skin's natural sebum, making it incredibly nourishing and easily absorbed.
Unlike plant-based oils that can oxidize quickly, tallow is stable and provides long-lasting moisture without clogging pores.
Pure Whipped Tallow: Contains only 100% grass-fed beef tallow, whipped for easier handling. Not as smooth as versions with coconut oil, but much easier to work with than non-whipped tallow. Best for sensitive skin.
Whipped Tallow (Unscented): Tallow blended with MCT oil for a lighter, more spreadable texture.
Whipped Tallow (Scented): Our whipped formula with added essential oils like Cedarwood, Lemon Myrtle, or Tea Tree for a masculine scent.
No! High-quality tallow absorbs quickly into the skin because it's so similar to our natural skin oils. You should only use a small amount - a little goes a long way.
If it feels greasy, you're likely using too much. Start with a pea-sized amount for your entire face.
Ingredients & Safety
Yes! Our Pure Whipped Tallow is especially good for sensitive skin as it contains only one ingredient. However, if you have very sensitive skin, we recommend patch testing first.
Those with coconut allergies should avoid our whipped versions with MCT oil and stick to Pure Whipped Tallow.
I source my tallow from a local butcher here in Australia. The tallow comes from grass-fed cattle, ensuring good quality fat for our products.
I work directly with local suppliers to get the freshest tallow possible for our skincare products.
No artificial preservatives. Tallow is naturally stable and has antimicrobial properties. When properly rendered and stored, it has a shelf life of 12+ months.
We only use pure, natural ingredients - no chemicals, parabens, or synthetic additives.
Usage & Care
1. Start with clean skin
2. Take a small amount (pea-sized for face) and warm between your fingers
3. Gently massage into skin until absorbed
4. Use morning and/or evening as needed
Remember: less is more with tallow. It's very concentrated!
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Room temperature is perfect - no refrigeration needed.
In hot weather, tallow may soften but will firm up again when cooled. This doesn't affect quality.
Always use clean hands or a clean spatula to avoid contamination.
A 100ml jar will definitely last 6+ months with daily face use. For body use, it may last less time if you're covering large areas, but still provides excellent value. This works out to approximately $1.92 per week!
The exact duration depends on how much you use and how often you apply it.
