About Beef Tallow

Is beef tallow safe for all skin types?
Yes! Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely mirrors our skin’s natural sebum, making it well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive, dry, and even acne-prone skin. We recommend our unscented 100% tallow bars for anyone with serious sensitivities.
Where do you source your tallow?
We use 100% organic, grass-fed beef tallow. Grass-fed tallow is higher in beneficial vitamins and fatty acids than conventional tallow, giving you a richer, cleaner product.  We source directly from cattle farms to ensure we using the highest quality ingredients while still supporting small businesses. 
Is tallow soap good for eczema or psoriasis?
Many of our customers with eczema and psoriasis report great results, especially with our unscented tallow bars. However, we always recommend patch-testing any new skincare product and consulting your dermatologist for medical skin conditions.

About Our Products

How long do your soaps last?
With normal daily use, a bar typically lasts 3–5 weeks. To extend the life of your bar, use a draining soap dish that allows it to dry between uses, a washcloth to bathe, and a soap saver bag to contain any small bits leftover.
Do your products contain preservatives or synthetic chemicals?
We keep our ingredient lists as short and clean as possible. We avoid synthetic preservatives, parabens, and sulfates. You can find the full ingredient list on every product page.
Are your products Vegan?
Our tallow-based products are not vegan, as tallow is rendered beef fat. However, we do carry several plant-based options in our Other Soaps and Bath Treats collections for those who prefer them.
How should I store my products?
Keep products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Bathroom countertops are fine as long as they’re not in standing water.

Unopened products are best used within 12 months of purchase. Once opened, we recommend using within 6 months for best results.
