FAQs
Product Information
What is tallow and why do you use it in skincare?
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cattle that closely mimics the natural sebum of human skin. It's rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus essential fatty acids that provide deep moisturization and help repair the skin barrier. Our South African beef tallow is particularly nutrient-dense due to the cattle's natural grass-fed diet.
What makes your whipped tallow cream different from other moisturizers?
Our cream is handcrafted in small batches using only four premium ingredients: South African beef tallow, cold-pressed castor oil, jojoba oil, and frankincense essential oil. Unlike commercial moisturizers with synthetic ingredients, our formula works with your skin's natural biology for lasting hydration and repair.
Is tallow suitable for all skin types?
Yes, tallow is naturally compatible with all skin types because it matches human sebum composition. It's particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, or mature skin, but it also helps balance oily skin without clogging pores.
How long does one jar last?
A little goes a long way with our concentrated formula. The 4oz jar typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use, while the travel size (1oz) lasts about 3-4 weeks.
Ingredients & Sourcing
Where do you source your ingredients?
All our ingredients are ethically sourced from South African suppliers. Our beef tallow comes from grass-fed cattle on sustainable farms, while our oils are cold-pressed to preserve their beneficial properties.
Are your products organic?
While not certified organic, all our ingredients are naturally sourced without synthetic additives, hormones, or harmful chemicals. We prioritize quality and purity over certifications.
What does the frankincense oil do?
Frankincense oil promotes cellular regeneration, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and provides a subtle, luxurious scent. It's been used for centuries for its skin-healing properties.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Yes, we use recyclable plastic jars and minimal packaging to reduce environmental impact. We're committed to sustainability throughout our production process.
Usage & Application
How do I use the whipped tallow cream?
Apply a small amount to clean, slightly damp skin. The cream will warm and absorb quickly. Use morning and evening, or as needed. A little goes a long way.
Can I use it on my face?
Absolutely! Our cream is gentle enough for facial use and particularly beneficial for dry or mature skin. Start with a small amount to see how your skin responds.
Will it clog my pores?
No, tallow is non-comedogenic and actually helps balance your skin's natural oil production. The jojoba oil in our formula is also known for its pore-cleansing properties.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
Our natural ingredients are generally safe, but we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
