​One of the core ingredients in our formulations is beef tallow. We have deliberately chosen grass-fed & finished tallow because it surpasses organic standards in nutritional quality and sustainability.

​

​Beef Tallow is a form of rendered beef fat that has been used for centuries in skincare. Rich in essential fatty acids and bioavailable nutrients, it has long been valued for its ability to deeply nourish and protect the skin.

 

Our ancestors relied on animal fats like tallow to hydrate, heal, and shield their skin from harsh elements long before synthetic skincare products existed. Because tallow closely mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure, it is easily absorbed and incredibly effective at restoring balance, locking in moisture, and supporting the skin barrier. Unlike modern formulations that rely on fillers, stabilizers, and synthetic compounds, tallow is a pure, time-tested remedy that delivers real nourishment.

When it comes to nutritional integrity and ethical sourcing, grass-fed & finished is ideal.

Why Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Yields Superior Tallow:

 

Here’s why:

• Optimal Omega-3 to Omega-6 Ratio: Cattle that are truly grass-fed and finished have a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for skin health and reducing inflammation. On the contrary - very often, cattle that are certified to provide USDA organic beef are actually fed grain, which skews this balance toward pro-inflammatory omega-6s. Those pro-inflammatory fatty acids are not what your skin needs! Learn more about the amazingness of the other anti-inflammatory fats we use on the Fat Science page. 
   

• Pasture-Raised for True Nutritional Value: Grass-fed & finished cows spend their lives grazing in open pastures, eating their natural diet of grass. This leads to high levels of essential vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a powerful antioxidant. Interestingly, USDA organic certification does not require cows to be 100% grass-fed, meaning they can be raised on organic grain, which diminishes these benefits. Because it's significantly more economical and scalable to feed a cow grain, thi sis often the case with organic beef. This is why specifically finding grass-fed and finished is critical to ensure the cow the most nutritional diet. 
   

• Higher Purity, Fewer Contaminants: By choosing grass-fed & finished tallow, we ensure that our tallow is free from the pesticide and antibiotic residues that can sometimes be found in grain-fed operations, even those certified organic.
