Tallow & Botanical Info.

Tallow, a form of rendered fat (beef suet), is a wildly successful ancient skincare remedy, used primarily to help replenish, protect and restore the skin barrier at a cellular level.

It is an all-natural, non-comedogenic, versatile moisturizer, known for promoting healthier, softer, more radiant skin, with just a pea-sized amount.

As its composition closely resembles the natural oils (sebum) produced by our skin, tallow is highly absorbable and deeply nourishing, calming yet incredibly effective. It acts as a restorative emollient, packed with essential fatty acids like CLA + stearic acid, rejuvenating antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Benefits: May help improve the following skin concerns: dryness, cracked heels, inflammation + redness, fine lines, scarring, discoloration, acne, and eczema.

Quality matters: We take pride in sourcing our beef suet from a beautiful, local ranch here in Durango, Colorado that practices regenerative farming, ensuring a positive impact on the environment. Their grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle live their best lives on a clean diet of grasses and plants, free from hormones, antibiotics & pesticides. *Tallow is a sustainable byproduct of the meat industry.

The process: We meticulously dry-render the beef suet in-house to form tallow; meaning we remove the impurities without the use of salt/water, melting/straining it by hand, to preserve its amazing nutrient-dense form.*Many other companies choose to use a wet-rendering method that involves salt and water to essentially cleanse the suet to remove any odors; we find this process to be too harsh in that it can potentially strip the tallow of its own natural, nutrient-dense form. 

Botanical-infusions: In an effort to strengthen the skin-healing aspects of each product, we blend our tallow with organic, plant-based oils that have been slowly infused with various botanicals for ~ 6 weeks; the herbs and flowers we use are the highest quality, organic or wild-harvested, and are specifically added for their individual skin-healing properties. *Some of our formulas include carefully sourced pure essential oils, and/or  non-toxic fragrance blends to enhance certain scents; our labels and product descriptions will clearly state the botanical name of the essential oil, if applicable, or " ______ fragrance". Please be assured that if a fragrance is used, we only ever source cleanly-made, paraben-free & phthalate-free natural fragrances.

Small-batch production variation: While we have the best intentions, and do our best to keep each batch nearly identical, no two cattle are alike, nor are our botanical-infusions; color, consistency & scent may vary due to the unique and natural differences in each handcrafted batch. 

We craft slow-made + small-batch skincare (without preservatives) to help heal our bodies & minds, naturally.
