How My Approach to Skincare was Revolutionized
In 2014, I was determined to eliminate unnecessary chemicals and processed ingredients from my family’s daily routine. In pursuit of healthier alternatives, I started formulating my own skincare products—lotions, oils, and balms. While these homemade solutions were effective, a friend’s special request introduced me to an ingredient I’d never seriously considered before: tallow.
She asked if I could make a balm for her pregnancy using tallow as the base. Intrigued, I began researching and created my first tallow balm. From the very first use, I was amazed. Unlike other moisturizers, tallow absorbed effortlessly into my skin, leaving no greasy residue. As someone who has OCD tendencies, particularly about greasy or sticky hands, this was a game-changer. For the first time, I didn’t feel the need to wash my hands immediately after applying a moisturizer.
This revelation inspired me to reformulate nearly my entire product line with tallow as the foundation. Since then, my products have become staples in our household, helping with everything from my son’s psoriasis to my daughter’s diaper rashes, bug bites, road rash, even sunburns and so much more! It’s not just my family who benefits—customers consistently share that my products are the only ones they can use, which reassures me that I’m truly making a difference.

My Skincare Philosophy
While I don’t make medical claims, my research and personal experiences have revealed the incredible potential of tallow as a foundational ingredient in skincare. By blending the timeless wisdom of natural remedies with modern insights into skin health, I’ve developed a line of products that emphasize simplicity, nourishment, and alignment with the skin’s natural processes.
My journey began with a mission to eliminate unnecessary chemicals and heavily processed ingredients from my family’s daily life. Determined to find healthier alternatives, I started crafting my own skincare formulations—lotions, oils, balms, and more. Over time, these creations became staples in our household, offering support for everything from my son’s sensitive skin to my daughter’s diaper rashes, bug bites, road rash, and even sunburns.
The transformative results weren’t limited to my family. Customers frequently tell me that my products are the only ones that work for their skin, reinforcing my belief that simple, natural ingredients can truly make a difference.
Each product is handcrafted with care, free from synthetic chemicals or unnecessary additives, and designed to naturally support and nourish your skin. It’s skincare with intention—pure, clean, and rooted in the power of nature.

What is Tallow?
Why I Chose Tallow: Science & Tradition
Tallow is rendered animal fat, primarily sourced from beef, that has been used for centuries in skincare and soap-making. The rendering process gently purifies the fat making it clean and odorless. My research has shown that the unique composition of tallow allows it to moisturize the skin in ways many other ingredients can’t.
What Science and History Teach Us About Tallow?
Tallow’s resurgence in modern skincare is backed by its time-tested use and scientific insights into its composition. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), found in tallow, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, while its triglycerides mimic the skin’s natural oils, supporting hydration and resilience. Historical use demonstrates its practicality and sustainability, making it a staple for natural skincare enthusiasts today.
What is Tallow comprised of?
-
Nutrient-Rich Composition
Tallow is naturally abundant in fat-soluble vitamins, including:-
Vitamin A, which supports healthy skin cell turnover.
-
Vitamin D, which plays a role in skin barrier repair and hydration.
-
Vitamin E, known for its antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
-
Vitamin K, which may assist in maintaining the skin’s elasticity.
-
Vitamin B12, which, according to scientific research, is associated with supporting healthy skin tone and reducing the appearance of certain skin irritations.
-
-
Compatibility with Human Skin
Tallow is structurally similar to human sebum—the natural oil our skin produces. Both are primarily made up of triglycerides, which act as emollients, helping to soften and smooth the skin. This similarity allows tallow to absorb easily into the skin, providing effective hydration without clogging pores. -
Moisture Retention
Tallow helps create a protective barrier on the skin, which can reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Research on emollients shows they are key to maintaining hydration and protecting against environmental irritants. -
Simplicity and Purity
Tallow is free from synthetic chemicals and unnecessary additives. Its minimal processing ensures that it remains clean, non-toxic, and ideal for those seeking a simple, effective skincare option.
Why is Tallow So Popular?
In today’s world, more people are prioritizing natural, minimally processed options in their quest for overall health and wellness. This shift isn’t just about what they consume—it’s also about what they apply to their bodies. When it comes to skincare, tallow has emerged as a standout ingredient, celebrated for its nutrient-rich profile and natural compatibility with human skin.
Tallow offers a wealth of benefits due to its unique composition. It is packed with bioavailable fatty acids and essential vitamins. Unlike many synthetic or heavily processed skincare products, tallow is pure, straightforward, and free from unnecessary additives.
One of tallow's most significant advantages is its role as a natural alternative to seed oils in skincare. While seed oils are common in many products, they often require extensive processing, and some may contribute to skin irritation or imbalances, especially for those with sensitive skin. Tallow, on the other hand, mimics the composition of our skin’s natural oils, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a cleaner, more skin-friendly option.
What Makes Tallow Stand Out?
-
Rich Nutrient Profile:
Tallow is naturally abundant in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and vitamin B12, all of which are vital for skin health. These nutrients support hydration, elasticity, and protection from environmental stressors. -
Bioavailable Fatty Acids:
Tallow contains fatty acids like stearic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid, which are easily absorbed by the skin. These fatty acids help moisturize, repair, and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, reducing moisture loss and enhancing overall resilience. -
Minimal Processing:
Unlike many synthetic ingredients or seed oils that undergo heavy processing, tallow is created through a simple rendering process. This ensures it retains its natural integrity and beneficial properties without the need for added chemicals or preservatives. -
Compatibility with Human Skin:
Tallow closely resembles the structure of human sebum, the natural oil our skin produces. This similarity allows tallow to absorb deeply, nourishing the skin without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. -
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable:
As technically a byproduct, tallow represents a sustainable use of resources, making it an eco-conscious choice for those who value reducing waste and supporting regenerative agricultural practices.
