Our Tallow

Tallow is an essential skincare ingredient because it closely resembles the oils in our own skin.  Afterall, we are animals, so it makes sense for animal-based ingredients to be most biologically compatible to us! 

Many of our customers find moisturizing relief from dry, sensitive or allergy-prone skin with our Water Buffalo Tallow.  Because our unique Tallow is homegrown and in-house processed it is some of the highest quality available!

 

Benefits of using our Tallow include - 

 

Traditional - Tallow has been used as an effective skincare ingredient for centuries!  Our ancestors wisely used animal fats along with plant concoctions for a variety of skin and healthcare needs.

 

Safe - We often say, "If you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin!"  Tallow is as healthy to use on your skin as it is to eat.

 

Effective - Although most evidence for Tallow's effectiveness is anecdotal, there are countless reports and rave reviews on how well it helps skin issues! 

 

Nutritious - 

Our Grassfed Tallow contains significant levels of
  • CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) a type of fat that has been shown to reduce cancer, lower body fat and improve brain function.
  • Vitamin A, D, E and K.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids, stearic acid, and other fats that promote skin health.
  • Antioxidants.

 

Additionally, ours is:

Home Grown - That's right!  We raise our own on our family farm in Monroe, Georgia.  Our ruminant animals eat a variety of cool season grasses, warm season grasses, legumes, and forbs growing in holistically managed soil.  Our tallow tends to be stiffer than beef tallow thanks to its high stearic acid content, and smells exceptionally clean.

Unlike other ruminant tallows, buffalo have a broad palate, increasing the concentration and range of nutrients they consume and yielding more nutrition than beef tallow. 

 

Home Rendered - Our Tallow is rendered in our farm kitchen using stainless steel equipment and stored in glass containers or non-BPA food grade plastic.

 

Hypoallergenic - Our Tallow is Non-beef.  Though buffalo are in the same bovine family as beef, they are genetically pure and very distant from beef.  Customers with beef allergies are often able to eat our Buffalo meat.  It is also important to note that our Tallow is rendered only from Suet (cavity fat).  Rendered subcutaneous fats are often confused tallow, but fat drained off of meat contains impurities such as blood and other proteins.  It's not harmful, but not what we consider the purest or highest quality for skincare.
