About

What is tallow? 

Tallow is rendered beef suet, or fat that can be applied topically or used for cooking. Here at Tallow and Tea, we use organic, pasture raised, grass fed and grass finished beef tallow from Catskill, NY. 

 

Why use tallow instead of other lotions on the market? 

Did you know that the average person uses 12 beauty products daily, exposing their skin to hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals? Many of these synthetic ingredients can disrupt our bodies over time, with long-term effects we’re only beginning to understand.

That’s where natural, nutrient-dense ingredients like tallow come in. Derived from grass-fed beef, tallow is packed with skin-loving vitamins such as A, D, K, E, and B12, as well as essential fatty acids like palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid. These components mirror the lipids naturally found in human skin, making tallow incredibly bioavailable and easy to absorb. The result? Ultimate hydration and nourishment.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and one of its most vital defense mechanisms. It deserves to be treated with care—using products that are free of harsh chemicals and made from ingredients you can recognize and trust. Unlike many commercial products loaded with unpronounceable chemicals, tallow-based skincare provides the deep moisture and nourishment your skin craves, without the risk of toxins.

Choose products that align with nature, not against it, and give your skin the love and protection it truly deserves.
