Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is tallow?
Tallow is a traditional skincare ingredient made by gently rendering beef suet into a clean, nourishing fat. It has been used for generations to naturally moisturize and care for the skin.
2. How do I use the Sun Stick? ☀️
For the smoothest application, apply after using your whipped tallow. The tallow helps the Sun Stick glide on and blend easily. Glide the stick directly onto clean, dry skin and gently blend as needed. Reapply as desired to keep skin feeling moisturized and cared for. Because our products contain natural ingredients, avoid leaving the Sun Stick in excessive heat or direct sunlight, as it may soften or melt.
3. What is the difference between beef suet and regular beef fat?
Beef suet is the firm, nutrient-rich fat found around the kidneys and loins of the cow. It is naturally cleaner and more stable than regular beef fat, making it the preferred choice for premium tallow skincare. Regular beef fat is typically trimmed from various parts of the animal and is more commonly used for cooking.
4. Why use tallow for skincare?
Tallow is rich in naturally occurring fatty acids and vitamins that help support the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and well nourished.
5. Can I use whipped tallow on my face and body?
Yes! Our whipped tallow can be used as a nourishing moisturizer for both your face and body. Apply a small amount to clean skin and gently massage until absorbed. It can be used anywhere your skin needs extra moisture, including your face, hands, elbows, knees, and other dry areas. Because everyone's skin is unique, we recommend patch testing before regular use.
6. Will tallow make my skin feel greasy?
A little goes a long way. Our whipped tallow melts into the skin, leaving it feeling deeply moisturized without a heavy or greasy finish when applied in small amounts.
7. What is arrowroot powder, and why is it in your tallow?
Arrowroot powder is a natural plant-based starch. We add a small amount to help balance the richness of tallow and reduce any residual greasy feeling, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable.
8. Does your tallow smell like beef?
No. Our tallow is carefully rendered and purified using beef suet for skincare. Depending on the blend you choose, you'll enjoy the light aroma of essential oils or a very mild, natural scent.

10. What is phototoxicity?
Some citrus essential oils, including certain types of lemon essential oil, can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Because some of our blends contain citrus essential oils, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight on areas where the product has been applied for 12–24 hours. If you plan to be in the sun, choose a non-citrus blend instead.
When in doubt, choose a non-citrus scent for daytime use.
11. How should I store my whipped tallow?
Store your tallow in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Because it is made with natural ingredients, it may soften in warm temperatures or become firmer in cooler temperatures. This is completely normal and does not affect its quality.
