Beef tallow has a unique composition that makes it remarkably compatible with human skin. Because of this similarity, tallow absorbs easily and doesn't overwhelm or block the pores.

Unlike heavier oils that may sit on the skin, tallow nourishes deeply while allowing your skin to breath.

At Pure Tallow, we believe your skin deserves the absolute best. That’s why we only use 100% grass-fed and grass-finished tallow from U.S. farms practicing regenerative agriculture. And yes—that makes a big difference.
