Tallow is beef fat that has been slowly rendered into a shelf-stable fat that is solid at room temperature. People use it for cooking, skincare, soap, candles and cast-iron seasoning.

Does tallow clog pores?

It can for some people. Tallow is a rich, occlusive fat, so people with oily or acne-prone skin may find it too heavy. Patch test first and use a small amount.

How should I store tallow, and how long does it last?

Store tallow in a cool, dark place at 70°F or below in a tightly closed glass container. Refrigeration can extend shelf life to 1-2 years. Keep water out of the jar.

Frequently asked questions

It’s a rich, water-based tallow face cream made with unrefined grass-fed beef tallow, double-extracted organic catnip, organic Neem Oil at 3%, and a calming blend of organic petitgrain, rosemary, and lavender essential oils, designed to protect and moisturize irritated, sensitive-feeling skin.

Balms are made from fats and oils only. This is a creamy emulsion that combines tallow with distilled water and glycerin, so it glides on lighter and absorbs more easily while still giving you the nourishing benefits of tallow.

The catnip is extracted twice to concentrate more of the plant’s beneficial compounds into the cream, giving a stronger herbal infusion than a single extraction.

This product contains essential oils and Neem oil. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, please check with your healthcare provider before use.

Most of our face lotions and creams contains water, it needs a preservative to stay fresh and safe. We use Geogard (benzyl alcohol and dehydroacetic acid), and rosemary oleoresin extract helps protect the tallow from oxidizing.

Lavender not over powering...smells great! I think this soap is nice for hand washing. Lather is nice and cleans as expected.

We are enjoying the first bar of the lemon scented soap. Thank you

I have tried several different tallow from other stores. And this store by far, has the highest quality.

Always great and have been long time customer. I'm grateful for the quality. Worth your time, my peeps.

First time try - the shipment was secure and timely ! I’m definitely a fan of the soap - very pleased with this purchase

Great soap, no harmful ingredients.

I have been buying this product for the last 2 years, and continue to do -- great vendor

This soap is my favorite! its all i get for our family. shopping is prompt and typically gets here quite quick!

Love this soap, wish it were larger bars

I love this soap - just tried it for the first time as a body and shave soap in the shower and it is very Lucious and moisturizing. Thank you!

Clean ingredients. Very smooth, skin feels softer!

This was a repurchase-highly recommend!

I purchased the tallow "ugly" soap and the tallow itself. The soap itself was wonderful, only small imperfections. It felt buttery smooth in the shower. The tallow itself also feels wonderful on the skin. However, it does have a small smell. It oddly smells burnt. This was unexpected because I did not think there would be a smell. From what I read it would be nutty, buttery or a beef like smell. I hope this was a fluke of being over heated. I would for sure order again from this seller. The packing was very eco friendly. Though nothing was waterproof. It was storming and my package was very wet. When I opened it the packing paper was damp. The packing paper is the only thing that was protecting the tallow soap. I would have preferred the soap have an additional layer of protection.

shipped promptly & i ordered the ugly bar which were still so perfect. i love that it is simple

nice creamy feel on my skin. no scent.

thus is a very creamy soap. feels great on my skin. light pleasant, scent

Love the soap! It makes my skin do soft!

Loved it! Great feel on the skin!

even though i ordered the 'ugly' bar it was just as squared as a regular bar after a couple of uses

Nothing more to add to the ratings

Love the product!!!!!! Fast shipping

I continue to purchase this "ugly" soap, to me it's beautiful and not ugly at all! Great real SOAP w/o detergents like store bought "so called soap" (not). It's healthy for the skin! Thank you!

After two usesmy skin was smooth and without an ashy feeling

I only gave this a 4 star because it made my skin a little itchy. Smells good though! I may buy more but perhaps in the summer (that’s a me problem lol sensitive skin here) I however am in love with the unscented!

My skin has been super dry this winter, this was the only soap that was able to help moisturize and soften my skin. Don’t change anything! One bar last me about a week.
