Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Products

What is tallow and why do you use it in skincare?
Our products are made with 100% grass-fed tallow, a nutrient-rich, natural fat that mirrors the skin’s own oils. It nourishes deeply and supports barrier repair and is perfect for dry, sensitive skin.

Does it have a scent?
Poorly rendered tallow can sometimes carry a strong, “beefy” scent. Because we’ve refined our traditional rendering process, our tallow has a much gentler, almost “buttery” aroma that quickly fades after application. Our scented whipped tallows only carry the scent of the oils/botanicals.

Is tallow safe for all skin types?
Tallow is generally gentle and works beautifully for dry, normal, and sensitive skin. Every skin is unique though, which is why we offer sample tins—so you can try before committing to a full-size jar.

How long does a jar last?
Just a pea-sized amount goes a long way. Most customers find that even with regular use, a single jar lasts for months.

Essential Oils & Scent Options

Do your products contain essential oils?
Please see our product pages for individual ingredient lists. We keep our range simple so you can choose what’s best for your skin. While all our specialty balms like Blossom, Bushmans Balm & Healing Balm do not contain essential oils, we have a few options for our best selling Whipped Tallow Balms:

  • Essential Oil Blends: Crafted for those who love a gentle natural aroma and the added benefits of essential oils.

    • Lavender & Orange

    • Frankincense, Orange & Patchouli

    • Vanilla - not technically an essential oil but we’ll pop it here as it’s scented with a vanilla oleoresin

  • Herbal Blend: Infused with healing botanicals for extra nourishment.

    • Rose & Vanilla

  • Unscented:

    • Pure Tallow & Emu Oil (completely unscented, ideal for sensitive skin and babies)

    • Classic Unscented Tallow (no added scent, just buttery and mild).

Why offer unscented and herbal blended options?
Essential oils are beautiful but not for everyone. Some skin types (especially very sensitive, eczema-prone, or newborn skin) benefit from going without. That’s why we offer unscented alternatives, so the whole family has a safe, nourishing option.

Usage & Care

How do I use tallow products?
Apply a small amount to clean, slightly damp skin. Warm it between your fingers and massage in until absorbed. A little truly goes a long way.

How should I store my tallow products?
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They’re shelf-stable so no refrigeration required. If they soften in warm weather, don’t worry, they’ll firm back up once cool.
