HOW TO USE TALLOW

MINIMAL INGREDIENTS, COUNTLESS USES

Because our 100% grass-fed suet tallow is biologically familiar to your skin, it doesn’t just sit on the surface. It absorbs deeply, providing foundational lipid support that your skin can use wherever it needs it most. This makes it incredibly versatile. Here are just a few ways our customers use Tallow & Things® every day.

Face Moisturizer

Our face moisturizers are designed to be your daily hydration solution for a calm, balanced, radiant complexion. Use it as a morning or nightly replenishing treatment. It is perfect for dry, sensitive, irritated, or mature skin.

Apply it to your face, neck, chest, and under your eyes. Because it mimics your skin's natural oils, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it an excellent base under makeup. (Pssst! It’s even a great makeup remover!)

Body Butter

The perfect companion to our face moisturizer for head-to-toe skincare. Our body butter is crafted with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished suet tallow and a small amount of refined organic hemp oil to provide a softer glide over larger areas.

Use it on your body, hands, feet, and legs, especially post-shower when your skin is most receptive to hydration. It melts effortlessly into your skin, restoring moisture and delivering a smooth, velvety finish.

Relieving Dry Skin

Tallow is exceptional at providing concentrated moisture to stubborn dry spots. Apply it to rough elbows, cracked heels, dry knuckles, or any area needing extra attention. The rich, naturally-occurring vitamins and fatty acids help soften and smooth even the roughest skin.

Supporting Sensitive Skin

For skin that runs sensitive or reacts to most products, the minimal, clean ingredients in our tallow gives it less to react to. It goes on gentle and calming, melts in with no greasy film, and mirrors your skin's own oils, so even the most sensitive takes it in.

Nourishing Stressed Skin

For skin that is stretched, uneven, worn, or just run-down, what it's usually missing is deep, lasting moisture — and that's exactly what tallow delivers. Its rich fats and naturally occurring vitamins condition skin and keep it supple, soft, and healthy-looking with regular use.

Caring for Littles

Because our products contain no synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or harsh chemicals, they are gentle enough for the entire family. Many of our customers use our tallow on their children's delicate skin.

How to Apply

A little goes a long way. Because our tallow is pure and undiluted by water or fillers, you only need a small amount.

1. Start Small: Scoop out a pea-sized amount with your fingertip or cosmetic spoon.

2. Warm It Up: Rub the tallow between your palms or fingertips to melt it smooth.

3. Press and Massage: Gently press or massage a thin layer of the melted tallow into your skin.

4. Let It Absorb: Give it a few minutes to fully absorb. Your skin should feel fed, not coated.

If it feels heavy or your skin feels greasy after a few minutes, then you have likely applied too much. Adjust the amount next time until you find the perfect balance for your skin's needs.

Got Pearls?

That sometimes happens with real, unaltered, natural fat. Tallow is a complex natural fat that's made up of different molecules (called triglycerides), and they don’t all behave the same way.

Some fats melt at higher temperatures and solidify sooner as they cool. Others melt more easily and stay liquid longer before setting.

When rendered tallow cools naturally, the firmer fats begin setting first, forming the creamy structure and the softer fats finish setting later. As that process completes, those softer fats may gently gather into tiny, soft spheres inside the cream.

This process is known in food and fat science as natural fat fraction behavior — and it only happens when fat is left in its whole, unaltered state.

Those tiny fat pearls are not graininess, separation, spoilage, contamination, poor quality. They do not affect safety, shelf life, nourishment, skin performance.

Once warmed between your palms, the tallow melts into a perfectly smooth, skin-loving oil — exactly as intended.
