We’re obsessed with tallow because it’s like your skin’s BFF! Sourced from suet-based grass-fed/grass-finished cows, our tallow is bio-compatible, meaning it vibes with your skin’s natural sebum. It’s like giving your face a big, nutrient-packed hug! Unlike plant oils that can feel too light or too heavy, tallow delivers deep hydration, supports your skin barrier, and feeds thirsty skin with vitamins A, D, E, and K. We whip it into our Whipped Tallow Cream for a glow that’s pure Minnesota magic! Check out our Tallow Bioavailability and Tallow Comedogenic Properties blog pages.

No way, glow-getter! We render our grass-fed tallow with a slow, careful process (peek at Our Tallow Process page) to zap any funky odors. Our high-quality tallow is clean and neutral, and we jazz it up with essential oils in products like our scented Whipped Tallow Skin Cream or our Tallow Soap. Think zesty, viva-tastic aromas, not farm vibes. Altough rare, you might notice a faint, natural beefy aroma our unscented products,—think subtle, not overpowering. Sniff for yourself and fall in love!

Our products are crafted with grass-fed tallow and beeswax, sourced straight from nature. Just like every cow and every bee is unique, the seasonality of these natural ingredients can lead to slight variations in our products. Embrace the beauty of nature’s individuality—each jar or bar is a one-of-a-kind celebration of pure, nourishing goodness!

Tallow’s a pore-pleaser! We’re thrilled it’s non-comedogenic with a comedogenic rating of 2, meaning it won’t clog pores. Tallow mimics your skin’s sebum, sinking in to nourish without congestion. For acne-prone folks, we hear it soothes inflammation and balances oil, reducing breakouts. Our customers rave about clearer skin with our Whipped Tallow Cream. Want the full scoop?

Tallow Soap- We recommend keeping your tallow soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity. We suggest using a draining soap dish to allow it to dry between uses, which extends its life and prevents softening.

Whipped Tallow Skin Cream- We advise storing your skin cream in a cool, dry place at or below 75°F to maintain its whipped texture. If you live in a warm climate or won’t use it within a few months, we recommend refrigerating it to prevent melting or separation. We note that refrigerated cream may harden slightly but will soften at room temperature for easy application.

Whipped Tallow Sun Cream- We suggest keeping your sun cream in a cool, dry place below 75°F and away from direct sunlight to preserve its consistency. For long-term storage or in hot weather, we encourage refrigerating it to avoid melting, ensuring it’s at room temperature before applying for best results.

Tallow Candle- We recommend storing your tallow candle in a cool, dry place away from heat sources, such as radiators or windowsills, to prevent softening or deformation. We advise keeping it upright to maintain its shape and ensure it’s ready to light when needed.

Rendered Tallow- We suggest storing your rendered tallow in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness. For extended storage, we recommend refrigerating or freezing it to prevent spoilage, as this can extend its shelf life for months or even years.

Easy-peasy, viva style! Slather Whipped Tallow Cream for hydration, apply Sun Cream before sun time, lather Tallow Soap for a nourishing cleanse, or light a Tallow Candle for cozy vibes. Want the full scoop? Dive into How to Use page for pro tips to glow like a Minnesotan!
