FAQ

Do your skincare products have a beef or savory smell from the beef tallow?

No, we ensure purified,  odourless tallow by rendering all our tallow in-house. The method and way in which tallow is rendered can have big differences to the end product in terms of smell. We triple-render the fat, using the wet-method at extremely low temperatures, producing the purest tallow every time. We also use only kidney fat, which also produces less odour than trim fat.

 

Is the beef fat organic?

No, grassfed cow is superior to organic cow. Organically raised cows can be raised in crowded feedlots with feeds that still contain soy and grain. Our cows are grassfed, and in fact are "veld raised", which means the farmers are never allowed to take the animals to “feedlots", even in the winter months. Veld raised cows are free to roam large areas of land, walking large distances to select what they would like to eat. This is the most natural way to raise cattle and has an extremely beneficial impact for the planet, especially by helping the soil and enhancing sustainability.

 

Will tallow make my skin greasy or block my pores?
