FAQ

Tallow is a nutrient-rich skincare ingredient made from purified, rendered beef fat—often from suet, the dense fat surrounding the kidneys. Suet-based tallow is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and closely mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure.

As we age, skin loses ceramides, sebum, and moisture. Tallow delivers bioidentical lipids and fat-soluble vitamins that help restore the skin barrier, calm inflammation, and replenish moisture—making it ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin.

No. Tallow is naturally low comedogenic and closely matches the skin’s own sebum, helping balance oil production rather than clog pores. None of the ingredients in our products are pore-clogging.

The Restoration Balm works as a daily moisturizer or overnight repair treatment. The Tallow Sunscreen Cream is designed for daily use with mineral UV protection. Both are nutrient-dense and absorb fully with time.

Our balm is rich but absorbs beautifully. You may feel an initial emollient layer that melts into the skin, leaving it soft and hydrated rather than greasy.

We use hexane-free castor oil for its purity and high ricinoleic acid content. It helps calm inflammation, improve absorption, support collagen, and enhance the balm’s velvety finish.

Our sunscreen uses zinc oxide, a mineral UV filter, combined with clean, skin-supportive oils and butters. It does not contain chemical UV filters.

Mineral sunscreen reflects UV rays using zinc oxide rather than absorbing them. It is gentler on sensitive skin and offers broad-spectrum protection.

Yes. Our tallow is cosmetic-grade and sourced from grass-fed cattle. The Restoration Balm uses grass-fed and grass-finished tallow.
