We get it – our fulfillment times are longer than the competition. This is because our entire process is done by hand!

From travelling to pick up suet from our farming partners, to cleaning
and picking apart any unwanted pieces, and then chopping it all up into small pieces so it can be rendered slowly over low heat, then to straining, cooling, and finally to packaging up your order and shipping it out. It takes about 12 hours to complete one batch from start to finish, and we aren’t interested in mass-producing tallow because we value quality over quantity. Real humans do all the work here, there is nothing automated and there are no machines.

We believe this is a huge part of what sets us apart from other suppliers!

Never.
Our tallow is made with pure suet fat, nothing else. We do not add any other ingredients to our rendering process or to the finished product.

Natural, minimally-processed tallow does have a slight scent- it comes from an animal, after all! However, when prepared properly, tallow will have a slight buttery, fatty scent that dissipates quickly once applied. It shouldn't smell overly beefy or like coked meat.

Tallow is so versatile – you can use it any skincare formulation just like you would use shea butter, cocoa butter, or coconut oil. It can be used neat or blended with liquid oils and then whipped to create an ultra-light whipped balm. It can be infused
with botanicals and medicinal herbs to create a healing salve. You can use it to
create luxurious, skin-smoothing lotions and creams. You can add it to shampoo
and conditioner bars for a dose of hair-loving moisture. You can mix it with beeswax to create non-toxic, slow-burning candles. The possibilities are endless!

Yes! Tallow is fantastic as skincare – the fatty acids are extremely compatible with the oil that our skin naturally produces, which is why our skin is able to use and absorb tallow so effectively. All of the fatty acids in tallow are beneficial for moisture retention and skin healing - which is why it makes a wonderful moisturizer for so many people, especially those with sensitive skin!

Right now, we can’t legally sell our tallow as food-grade, since our facility is not yet USDA certified and that is a requirement when selling tallow, which they consider a by-product of meat. However, our process isn’t going to change once our facility is approved by the USDA- we already follow all of the safe food handling and GMP guidelines!
