What is Tallow?

Tallow is a form of rendered animal fat, most commonly sourced from beef. Through a slow, gentle process, the fat is melted down and filtered to remove impurities, leaving behind a rich, stable fat that has been used for centuries in skincare, soap making, cooking, and even candle making.
What makes tallow special in skincare is its high content of nourishing fatty acids, which help to deeply moisturize and protect the skin. But not all tallow is the same—and that’s where we stand apart.
Why Grass-Finished Tallow Matters
At ALL ABOUT TALLOW, we go beyond “grass-fed.” We source only 100% grass-finished tallow—a more ethical, nutrient-rich, and skin-friendly form of tallow that delivers superior results.
Grass-Fed vs. Grass-Finished:
• Grass-Fed means the animal may have eaten grass during its life—but was likely fattened on grain in a feedlot before processing.
• Grass-Finished means the animal ate grass for its entire life—never grain. This leads to a cleaner, healthier fat, free from grain-related inflammation and rich in essential skin nutrients.
Why It’s Better for Your Skin:
Grass-finished tallow contains:
• Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids
• More vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Powerful antioxidants like CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)
This makes it one of the most effective and nourishing natural moisturizers available—especially when compared to mass-produced or conventionally sourced skincare fats.
