Why beef tallow?

Beef tallow is an animal-based ingredient that is nearly bioidentical to the oils that our skin produces. This allows tallow to naturally regulate our oil production. This makes tallow ideal for both dry and oily skin types, providing balance naturally.

Tallow is rich in anti-inflammatory fatty acids. This helps soothe the skin, prevent breakouts, and overall reduce inflammation. Packed with vitamins E, A, D, and K, it is ultra hydrating on a molecular level. It protects from TEWL (transepidermal water loss), locking in moisture, providing long-lasting hydration.

Additionally, its natural vitamin properties increase collagen and elastin production, preventing premature aging and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Where do you source your tallow?

Our beef fat is sourced from a local farm in Virginia. All cows are 100% grass-fed and finished, grazing on fields free of pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs. Additionally, they are free of added hormones and antibiotics, just as nature intended. Cows are ethically raised by a wonderful local family and are humanely slaughtered. We render the beef fat ourselves to insure the same rendering process each time.

What kind of packaging do you use?

All products are sold in glass jars with an exception to lip balms. Lip balms are snuggled in BPA free plastic for your convenience. These packaging choices are to reduce toxic burden on the body.

Are your essential oils free of heavy metals?

All essential oils used have been third party tested for heavy metals.

Are your products pregnancy and breastfeeding safe?

Of course, always consult your healthcare provider. As a mama, I feel perfectly safe using all Tallowshine products while pregnant and/or breastfeeding.
