Question 1

Why would I put beef fat on my face?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial moisturisers are water, silicones, and preservatives. Tallow is primarily fatty acids that your skin readily absorbs — its profile is close to human sebum. It has been used as a skin treatment for centuries and continues to be effective for people with dry, normal, or sensitive skin.

Question 2

What is beef tallow?

Accepted Answer

Rendered beef fat, specifically suet — the fat from around the kidneys. Humans used it on skin for centuries before petroleum derivatives became the industry standard. It works because the fatty acid profile closely matches human sebum.

Question 3

Is this good for acne-prone skin?

Accepted Answer

No. Tallow is occlusive and can clog pores. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, this product is not appropriate for you. Please review the product details carefully before purchasing.

Question 4

What does "cosmetic grade" mean?

Accepted Answer

It means the tallow has been rendered and then micro-filtered beyond food grade standards. The filtration removes odour, colour, and impurities. Food grade tallow is safe to eat but is not optimized for topical skin application. Cosmetic grade is. This distinction matters and many producers skip this step.

Question 5

Does it smell like beef?

Accepted Answer

No. The micro-filtration process removes the odour. Our tallow is odourless.

Question 6

How long does a jar last?

Accepted Answer

2–3 months with daily use. Most customers find that a small amount — roughly the size of a pea — is sufficient to cover the face. The 200ml jar provides substantial value compared to industry-standard 4oz containers.

Question 7

Where is your tallow sourced?

Accepted Answer

Grass-fed cattle from the Tri-City Area, Coquitlam BC. Sourced and rendered locally. Traceable supply chain.

Question 8

Do you ship to the US?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time. We ship within Canada only.

Question 9

What is the shelf life?

Accepted Answer

Unopened: 12+ months at room temperature. Opened: 6–12 months. Store with the lid secured, away from direct sunlight. Tallow is shelf-stable fat and does not require refrigeration.

Question 10

Is it whipped or solid?

Accepted Answer

Whipped — soft at room temperature and easy to apply. In colder temperatures it will firm up; in warmer temperatures it will soften. This is a natural property of the product, not a quality issue.

Question 11

Can I use this on my face?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you have dry, normal, or sensitive skin. A small amount goes a long way. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, this product is not recommended.

Question 12

Is tallow just a trend?

Accepted Answer

Tallow has been used on skin throughout recorded history. It is the modern synthetic alternatives that are relatively new.
