Why Tallow

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

  • Sourced Locally: All of our Tallow is rendered from beef fat supplied by JC Cattle Co. in Perth East, Ontario
  • Reduces Waste: Utilizes a by-product of the meat industry, promoting full use of animal resources and reducing environmental waste.
  • Biodegradable: Being a natural product, tallow is biodegradable and doesn't contribute to environmental pollution.

Rich in Skin-Compatible Lipids

  • Similarity to Human Sebum: Tallow's fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to that of human sebum and the lipids found in our skin's outer layer. This similarity allows for easy absorption and effective moisturisation without leaving a greasy residue.
  • Balanced Fatty Acids: Contains a healthy balance of saturated and monounsaturated fats, which help maintain skin elasticity and suppleness.
  • Long-Lasting Hydration: Tallow forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture, providing long-lasting hydration and preventing dryness.
  • Improves Skin Barrier Function: Strengthens the skin's natural barrier against environmental stressors like pollution and harsh weather.
  • Won't Clog Pores: Suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it allows the skin to breathe while providing nourishment.

Rich in Fat-Soluble Vitamins

  • Vitamin A: Promotes skin cell regeneration and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Vitamin D: Supports skin cell growth and repair, contributing to overall skin health.
  • Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from free radical damage and premature aging.
  • Vitamin K: Aids in reducing dark circles and supports skin elasticity.
  • Hypoallergenic Properties: Generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin due to its natural composition and absence of common irritants.
  • Soothes Skin Conditions: Many users report relief from dryness, itching, and redness when using tallow-based products.

Contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: CLA can help soothe inflamed or irritated skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
  • Antimicrobial Effects: May assist in protecting the skin from certain bacteria and pathogens.
