Choosing tallow will be the easiest change you can make and I can promise you will not regret it!
What is Tallow?
Tallow is a traditional, nutrient-rich fat rendered from the suet (kidney fat) of cows. It has been used for centuries in cooking and skincare. Tallow is prized for its stability, richness in fat-soluble vitamins, and gentle compatibility with human skin.
At Totally Tallow, I only use high-quality tallow that is never bleached, deodorized or over processed. This ensures that every jar, bar, or stick is packed with natural nutrients your body can recognize and benefit from, inside and out.
Tallow is one of the most skin-compatible, nutrient-rich fats you can find — which is why I use it as the foundation in all of my products. Tallow closely mimics the natural oils found in human skin, it absorbs easily and delivers a deep, lasting moisture without clogging pores. It is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K — all of which are essential for skin health, cell regeneration, and elasticity. In my body butters and chapsticks, tallow acts as a natural barrier that nourishes and protects, making it ideal for dry, sensitive or compromised skin.
Using tallow allows us to create multi-purpose, effective products that honor the whole animal, reduce waste, and connect us back to timeless, nourishing traditions.
