Frequently Asked Questions

Beef tallow is a rendered fat derived from cattle, typically taken from the areas around the kidneys and internal organs. It's nutrient-rich and has been cherished for centuries in traditional skincare for its deeply moisturizing and healing benefits.

Absolutely! Beef tallow works well for all skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin. Its composition closely resembles the natural oils (sebum) produced by human skin, making it highly effective at hydrating without blocking pores.

Although it’s a fat, beef tallow is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving no greasy residue behind. Instead, it offers intense hydration and helps regulate your skin’s natural oil production.

Unlike many commercial products that rely on synthetic additives, beef tallow is entirely natural. It’s loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin. Plus, it’s free from preservatives, artificial fragrances, and harsh chemicals.

Beef tallow is generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning it’s unlikely to clog pores. Its fatty acid profile mirrors that of human sebum, allowing it to absorb seamlessly while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Keep beef tallow skincare items in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. When stored correctly, they can last up to a year. For extended freshness, some prefer refrigeration, but it’s not essential. If your balm feels too firm, simply warm it between your fingers and apply normally.
