Tallow, in it’s original form, comes from animal fat. Tallow can come from beef, deer, goats, and sheep. We use 100% beef fat, specifically beef suet fat for our balms and soaps. Suet is the fat that is around the kidney, pelvic region, and heart. Suet is superior to the rest of the fat in the animal because it is pure fat and it is high in vitamins and fatty acids and it is the cleanest to render. We render our tallow by cooking it in a lower temperature to remove as much moisture from the fat as possible to make it shelf stable.
Tallow has properties that are fantastic for skin health. Tallow is loaded with vitamins, can help rejuvenate skin, is anti-inflammatory, and naturally moisturizes. We use pure essential oils and all natural ingredients in our products.

Locally sourced tallow from the farmers and abattoirs from the Driftless Region
We source all our tallow exclusively from reputable abattoirs located within the beautiful Driftless Region. Our commitment to sourcing locally is a priority, as it helps us support our dedicated local farmers and ranchers while also ensuring the quality of our products.
We support local farmers, ranchers, and abattoirs by buying fat that is usually wasted. By turning this fat into useful products, we enhance the value of each animal and prevent waste. This approach helps farmers and ranchers earn more from their hard work.
We render down the beef fat into tallow ourselves, ensuring quality every step of the way. The rendering process consists of a long, slow cook on the fat, which is essential to effectively remove all the moisture and create a product that is shelf stable. After the fat is rendered, we then proceed to purify it, taking great care to make sure it is completely clear of any impurities, thus guaranteeing an extended shelf life for our final product.
