FAQ

What is beef tallow? Beef tallow is a type of rendered fat derived from beef, typically from the fat around the kidneys and loins. It is solid at room temperature and has been used for centuries in cooking, skincare, and even as a base for candles. 

How is beef tallow made?  To make tallow, beef fat is slowly heated to melt it down, separating the fat from any connective tissue and impurities. Once melted, the fat is strained and allowed to cool, resulting in a firm, golden or white substance. For skincare purposes, this process is repeated a minimum of 3 times and is very time consuming.

How much should I use on my face? Generally, it takes a pinky nail amount. Depending on personal preference, you can use more at night and less for during the day. 

Can I use the beauty blend on other areas other than my face? Of course you can! Some people purchase the beauty blend and use it on their face, neck, chest, and hands. You may use this one for anywhere on your body you'd like. 

How long does the 4 oz jar last if I only use it on my face and neck? If you are using it 2x daily, this jar should last you a few months. You may find yourself putting in on other areas of your body sometimes, and that is okay! It will still last about 2-2.5 months.

Can I use it on my babies/toddler? If you are interested in using the tallow on babies and toddlers regularly, I recommend taking a look at our "little friends" tab. 

How long until I see a difference? We all experience things differently. Some customers noticed changes within a week, while others saw results after a few weeks. The key is consistency! If you're transitioning from a 6-step skincare routine to a simpler, more effective regimen with tallow, or if you're switching to more natural products, your skin might go through a "detox" phase. This adjustment period could take a few weeks as your skin gets used to the change.

How long is the shipping time? All orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days, and an estimated arrival date will be emailed over to you with tracking. If you have any further questions, please refer to our Shipping policy and Terms & Conditions. 

What is the shelf life of a jar of tallow? 8-12 months. If you're using the product daily, it should last you about 2 months. 

 Greasy/Oily on my face  Our blends easily soaks into the skin. It may feel a little greasy at first if you use a lot, but it should soak in within 5-10 minutes. A little bit goes a long way. If it feels greasy or hasn't soaked in, simply use less!
Some enjoy using it once a day in the evening as a night cream and don’t see a need to re-moisturize in the morning, while others enjoy using it in the morning while doing a lymphatic drainage massage for a few minutes. If you do this, use a small amount, and by the time you're done, the tallow will be soaked in and you'll be moisturized for the day.

Surprisingly, our tallow does great with oily skin. Give oily skin a couple of weeks to adjust and balance out oil production. We have seen success with clients who were afraid to start using our tallow at first, simply because they have oily skin. After a few weeks of use they loved the switch. Be consistent, friends! 

Do I need to change my whole skincare routine if I want to start using tallow? Absolutely not. You can continue to use the same cleanser you’ve been using and love. This is going to replace your moisturizer, but you will find that tallow packs a BIG punch with all of the vitamins and fatty acids, so you may find that you can simplify your product lineup.
