Beef Tallow: Tallow shares simular biology to our own skin. It is incredibly compatible with all skin types. It is non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) Can help reduce stretch marks, signs of aging and fine lines, help eczema + psoriasis, prevent scarring, sun burn relief and soothe acne. A true super food for your skin! Grass fed and finished beef tallow is especially packed full of fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, peptides, & omega 3. It protects the skin's surface all day long from free radicals and increases elastin.
Wild Prairie Honey Beeswax: So excited to be using Wild Prairie Honey beeswax! Beeswax is another beautiful and 100% natural option for skincare and very unique! It forms a protective barrier on the skin helping to protect against environmental pollutants, free radicals and harsh weather. This protective barrier also helps lock in moisture to keep the skin hydrated and locks in my sun and bug repellent products so they last for hours, not needing to be reapplied so frequently. Beeswax also repels water making these products water and sweat friendly. It has natural anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties and is high vitamin a which boosts healthy skin cell production. A superfood for the skin made by bees and paired with all the amazing benefits of grass-fed and finished beef tallow!
Wild Prairie Honey raw honey: Honey has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments including treating burns and cuts, and soothing sunburns. Raw honey, in particular, is rich in nutrients and enzymes that can benefit the skin. Honey's natural humectant properties make it an effective moisturizer. It has been found to help reduce inflammation and redness, balance skin tone, hydrate dry skin, and improve acne breakouts. Enzyme activity in honey enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin and bring hydration to the underlying layers. This results in plumper, softer skin with a natural radiant glow.
Jojoba oil infused with organic chamomile and organic vanilla bean: Jojoba oil is an amazing versatile carrier oil suitable for all skin types including mature skin, sensitive skin, oily skin and acne. It will revitalize your skin, offering deep hydration without clogging pores. Both tallow and jojoba oil mirror the sebum of human skin and work wonders together. Jojoba oil can help maintain skin's softness and suppleness, promoting a smooth and refined skin texture. It offers lightweight, non-greasy hydration and absorbs quickly. It is rich in vitamin E and omega 3

What is the deal with tallow?
What is tallow?
Tallow has been used in various cultures as skincare for thousands of years. It is rendered beef fat, specifically suet (organ fat) Once fat is heated it liquifies into a smooth yellow oil separated from the tissues. My tallow is sourced from either my own grass-fed and finished cattle or other local Calgary regenerative farms.
The science:
Tallow shares simular biology to our own skin. It is incredibly compatible with all skin types. It is non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) Can help reduce stretch marks, signs of aging and fine lines, help eczema + psoriasis, prevent scarring, sun burn relief and soothe acne. A true super food for your skin!
Grass fed and finished beef tallow is especially packed full of fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, peptides, & omega 3. It protects the skin's surface all day long from free radicals and increases elastin. I highly recommend using as an overnight firming face cream as it retains moisture for hours and hours!
Head to tail sustainability:
Being a byproduct of the beef industry, tallow is the most natural and environmentally friendly skincare product you can purchase! Something my ancestors have been doing for thousands of years is utilizing the entire animal head to tail. Not only is this practice environmentally friendly but honoring the animals in this way is something important to me and a reason why I’ve gotten into this business. My tallow is 100% natural, biodegradable and sourced from regenerative farms.
Natural benefits:
I am at risk for cancer and deal with other health ailments so I recently started looking for more organic foods and beauty products. Discovering tallow, I also discovered how beautifully natural it truly is. Most of the products in your bathroom at this moment have MANY harmful chemicals. You might also notice a warning stating “do not ingest” …. our skin absorbs everything put on it. I know this from being allergic to peanuts: if a peanut touches the skin of someone with a severe allergy the oil can absorb instantly and they can go into anaphylactic shock in only two minutes. If our skin has this ability to absorb everything that touches it, why would we want to put these harmful toxins on it daily? I wanted a skin cream that actually worked and was still 100% natural and tallow was the perfect answer.
Isn’t beef fat on your face a little strange ….?
I also thought this when I first heard about it. But, learning all the facts and seeing how beautiful it is when done correct, I fell in love. If done properly, with a proper fat source, whipped tallow is smooth, white, and the scent is very very mild. I often think the plain tallow scent smells like a fresh pie crust. I like to add essential oils not only for their beautiful fragrances but their amazing healing properties. My “Plain Jane” is fragrance-free.
I use a dry rendering method that takes me 12-16 hours a batch. My method removes the beefy scent and leaves it soft and smooth. "Wet" rendering can strip the nutrients from tallow and the water used can make tallow less shelf stable. Water in tallow allows bacteria to get trapped. I highly recommend not getting any moisture into your jars.
