What is Tallow?

Tallow is rendered beef fat, slowly melted and carefully strained until it becomes clean, stable and virtually odourless. Its fatty acid profile closely mirrors your skin's own natural oils, making it one of the most skin-compatible ingredients available. It nourishes, softens and seals the skin barrier in a single ingredient. Gentle enough for the whole family. We only use suet from Canadian grass-fed cattle - the most nutrient-dense source on the animal.
