100% Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
A true skin-nourishing powerhouse, tallow naturally contains bio-available Vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, alpha-linoleic, and conjugated linoleic [CLA]) that promote skin health.
Sourced from our own farm
All of the tallow for Beauty of the Beast comes from our own herd of 100% Grass-Fed Cattle at Dirty Dog Farm.
Our cattle are raised using regenerative grazing practices. They spend their lives grazing lush grass and clean hay, and are only supplemented with a human-grade blend of mineral salts.
We use NO chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, etc.
The result is the cleanest, purest, most nutrient-dense tallow you can find anywhere. The perfect foundation for our line of balms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tallow is the rendered down suet fat (also known as leaf fat) of ruminant animals like cows and sheep. All the tallow we use is from our own Grass-fed Cattle!
Suet is the nutrient dense hard fat that’s found surrounding the animal’s organs, specifically the kidneys and loins. Beef suet is a harder, more crumbly fat than the rest of the fat within the animal, and it’s one of nature’s highest sources of conjugated linoleic acid CLA.
Grass-fed is best! The tallow from cattle raised on a grass-fed diet retains much higher nutrient content than that of grain fed cattle, making it a skin super-food.
Everything!
The Cowendula Cream is our all-purpose basic balm formula made from gentle ingredients that work together to nourish, moisturize, and repair skin. It’s safe and natural enough to eat! (but don't please)
Some of the ways we recommend using Cowendula Cream:
- On dry skin
- On scratches, scrapes and abrasions
- Rashes and eczema
- Scalp concerns
- Sun burns
- Baby booties
A little goes a long way!
Start with a dime sized amount of the Cowendula Cream to moisturize your hands, and apply as needed to other areas.
If it’s not fully absorbed into your skin by the time you're done applying- you're probably using too much!
Tallow is full of stable fatty acids, and all of our ingredients complement its natural resistance to rancidity and spoilage.
We recommend using your Tallow product within 6 months for highest quality, and storing your balm in a cool, dry environment.
Not even a little bit!
Our pure grass-fed tallow is carefully rendered in small batches by hand where any potential impurities are removed. The rendered tallow is virtually odorless- perhaps slightly earthy-grassy smelling to a discerning nose.
Cowendula Cream is made with tallow infused with Calendula and Lavender, and has a pleasant herbal scent.
Tallow is very similar to our skin's natural oil production (sebum) making it absorb very easily and deeply into the skin. It will never feel greasy or slimy on the skin!
Tallow has a comedogenic rating of 2 - meaning it is non comedogenic, making it great for oily, acne prone skin, as it does not clog pores.
If you do feel that a Tallow balm is not absorbing quickly into your skin, you are probably using too much. A little goes a long way!
