Frequently Asked Questions
Why is tallow good for skincare?
Tallow makes exceptional skincare because its fatty acid profile closely mimics our skin's natural sebum, allowing for deep absorption and strengthening of the moisture barrier. It is also an ideal medium for botanical infusions that enhances their benefits. By using tallow, we're honouring traditional wisdom and sustainable practices, transforming what might be discarded into something valuable. The result is simple yet effective skincare that works with your body's natural processes rather than against them.
Why do you formulate without essential oils?
We’ve found essential oils to be unnecessarily harsh on our skin and our environment. While they’re better than artificial fragrances, essential oils are officially listed as irritants. We prefer to infuse our herbs and botanicals directly into the tallow for a natural scent and to preserve the properties the whole plant offers.
How does shipping work?
We offer free shipping on orders over $125, $15 flat shipping fees for orders under, and local delivery for specific towns. Orders placed will be shipped within 1-3 business days. Once your order has shipped, you will be sent a tracking number.
