FAQs

How long does tallow last?

Tallow will last a year given how its cared for including keeping moisture out of it, out of direct sunlight and in a cool place. It can last longer in the fridge or freezer.

Is tallow safe for all over the body?
Yes! Tallow is safe on every area of the skin including face and privates for any diaper rashes. 

What if I receive my Tallow product melted?

During the summer months it's difficult to prevent the tallow from melting, but don't freight! It does not affect the integrity of the tallow. It will still be tallow and have all the same nutrients and benefits. What it will affect is the consistency of the product. We do not ship whipped during the summertime. We recommend if it is completely melted to stick in the fridge or freezer to cool it evenly.

where do you get your beef fat?

We source our kidney fat from a local farmer who raises his own cows and has processes them periodically. We receive the fat immediately after processing. Its very fresh, and handled with care. They are raised close to the New Mexico border on over 60 acres. We don't share the name of our rancher to protect them.

how do you render your tallow?

We chop it up in tiny pieces and remove any meat on it, then we put it in a huge pot, and cook it low and slow. Its strained several times through a very fine strainer. We only use the dry render method- After much research and lab testing, we feel this preserves the integrity of the tallow and makes it truly shelf stable. Our kidney fat is very high quality and doesn't need any additional purifying. There is much information out there about only doing the dry method and how it preserves the vitamins and nutrients which is what makes tallow so beneficial for the skin. Read about it in our blogs (Is Purifying Tallow Necessary? – Grassland Beauty) and a second blog by Mrs. Shalley Carrell (Delving Deeper into the Impact of Tallow Purification – Grassland Beauty)

Will Tallow cause my skin to breakout?

That depends entirely on your skin type. If you are very acne prone and have oily skin then tallow may not be the best option for you. Tallow is very high in palmitic and stearic acid, and oleic which can be problematic for oily skin. Other factors can influence this such as the quality of your kidney fat and how its rendered. Tallow is not completely non comedogenic, it is similar to coconut oil in saturated fats but not as comedogenic. I always say give it a try and if your skin cannot tolerate it then don't use it at least not on your face.

What other uses does beef tallow have?
Tallow can be used in place of cooking oil, it can be used as a diaper rash cream, it can be used as a sunblock when mixed with other ingredients, it can be used as a hair and face masks. It is an excellent makeup remover. It’s safe enough to be used on our pet's skin (minus essential oils), it can be used in soaps and for cleaning, and as a beard balm or base in shaving cream. It was even used to lubricate car parts long ago. Candles also! It’s endless.
