Frequently asked questions.

Is tallow greasy?

Surprisingly, no. Because tallow’s fatty acid profile is similar to our skin’s natural sebum, it absorbs easily without leaving a heavy or oily film. A little goes a long way — just a small amount can deeply moisturize your skin.

Tallow does feel richer than water-based lotions, especially if you’re new to using natural fats on your skin. But when applied correctly — just a small amount warmed between your fingers — it melts right in and leaves your skin soft, not oily.

Because tallow mimics our skin’s natural oils, it absorbs gradually, delivering deep moisture and long-lasting protection without synthetic fillers. Many people find that after a few uses, their skin adjusts beautifully and feels more balanced than before.

Will tallow clog my pores?

Pure, grass-fed tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it’s very unlikely to clog pores. In fact, many people with acne-prone or sensitive skin find that tallow helps balance oil production and soothe irritation.

Is tallow good for sensitive skin?

Yes. Tallow is naturally gentle, nutrient-rich, and free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, or harsh chemicals. Its biocompatibility makes it a great choice for people with sensitive or reactive skin types.

Is tallow sustainable?

Yes — when sourced responsibly. Our tallow comes from regenerative farms where the entire animal is honored and nothing is wasted. This not only supports ethical farming practices but also turns a traditional byproduct into something deeply nourishing.

Is tallow suitable for all skin types?

Absolutely. Tallow can benefit dry, combination, oily, or sensitive skin. It naturally adapts to the skin’s needs, helping restore balance and hydration without disrupting the skin barrier.
