Why are olive oil and honey added?

With extra virgin olive oil (from Greece), which gives it its smooth texture, application is effortless. A splash of raw honey (from the flower meadows of Westland in the Netherlands) is added for antibacterial purposes. Sourced 100% from grass-fed, SKAL-certified cows that graze freely in Dutch nature parks.

Olive oil is crucial for the desired consistency in our cream. Without the oil, tallow would solidify into a hard balm instead of maintaining the soft and creamy texture we aim for. A small amount of olive oil works wonders. It ensures a high tallow content and preserves the skin-nourishing effect of the cream.

Additionally, we use raw honey for its remarkable antibacterial properties. This enhances the overall effectiveness of the cream and adds a natural element – which aligns with our commitment to quality and holistic skincare.

Is beef tallow good for the skin?

Yes, beef tallow (Tallow) has a positive effect on the skin. The reasons are its natural properties and nutrient composition.

Why beef tallow is valued as a skincare product:

Similarity to human skin: Beef tallow contains fatty acids that are very similar to the natural lipids of human skin. This allows it to penetrate the skin well. It helps to strengthen the natural skin barrier, retain moisture, and protect against dryness.

Nutrient-rich: Beef tallow contains many vitamins that are useful for skin care:

Vitamin A supports cell renewal and promotes smooth and healthy skin.
Vitamin D can help regenerate the skin and improve the overall complexion (the goal is a natural glow).
Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and protects the skin from free radicals that can lead to premature skin aging.
Vitamin K promotes healing and can help in the treatment of skin irritations and scars.
Moisturizing: Tallow hydrates the skin. It helps regenerate dry, cracked skin and provides deep hydration without clogging the pores.
Soothing for skin issues: The cream is good for people with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or very dry skin. Its rich texture and natural fatty acids help to relieve inflammation and soothe irritated skin.
Free from synthetic chemicals: Tallow is a natural ingredient. It is often found in skincare products that avoid synthetic ingredients. Beef tallow is particularly appreciated by those seeking natural and unprocessed skincare alternatives.

Please note that this product comes from animals. However, when applied to the skin, the cream absorbs quickly and the scent fades rapidly.

No sun protection: The tallow cream does not replace sunscreen and offers no protection against UV radiation. Therefore, when spending time in the sun, you should additionally use a product with a designated sun protection factor.

Which skin types is the beef tallow cream suitable for?

Not every skin tolerates synthetic care – especially dry or irritated skin often reacts sensitively to long ingredient lists. Our tallow cream supports your skin with natural ingredients, is similar in structure to skin, and comes without unnecessary additives.

Cream with beef tallow is suitable for:

Dry skin: Tallow cream provides intense moisture and supports the skin barrier.
Sensitive skin: Beef tallow contains no irritating additives, is particularly well tolerated, and is also suitable for sensitive baby skin.
Mature skin: The cream nourishes deeply, absorbs well, and works without greasiness.
Irritated skin: Tallow can have a soothing effect and alleviate inflammation – for example, in cases of eczema or psoriasis.
Normal Skin: Even without acute skin problems, beef tallow is a nourishing, natural alternative.

For oily or acne-prone skin, it is advisable to test the skin for compatibility.

Frequent Questions-FAQ

Our tallow cream remains usable for twelve months after opening. It has a relatively long shelf life because it contains no water components, minimizing the risk of microbial growth (such as bacteria or mold).

Factors that can affect the shelf life of tallow cream:

Tallow quality: High-quality, well-purified, and properly rendered beef tallow lasts longer. It contains fewer impurities that could cause the product to spoil faster.
Use of antioxidants: Ingredients such as vitamin E can act as natural preservatives. They slow down fat oxidation, which can extend shelf life.
Storage: Store cool and dark! The cream should be kept in a cool, dark place to avoid oxidation and rancidity. Ideally, it should be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It should be kept in an airtight container to protect it from moisture and oxygen. Oxygen can oxidize the fat and cause it to go rancid.
Honey and essential oils can extend shelf life by inhibiting microbial growth or slowing oxidation. If the cream also contains beeswax, this can help further extend shelf life. Beeswax has a protective and preserving effect.

Smell test: Even after the expected shelf life has expired, tallow cream can usually still be used – as long as it does not smell rancid or have an unusual consistency or color.

Beef tallow has a fatty acid composition similar to the natural oils produced by human skin. Therefore, it is generally considered skin-friendly.

Whether tallow cream can clog pores depends on several factors:

Non-comedogenic for many skin types: Tallow contains fatty acids similar to human sebum, such as oleic acid and stearic acid. This makes it well tolerated by most people. It closely resembles the skin’s natural barrier and can be well absorbed without clogging pores.
Good for dry or sensitive skin: People with dry, sensitive, or mature skin benefit from tallow. It is rich and penetrates deeply without leaving a greasy residue. The likelihood of clogged pores is relatively low for these skin types.
Risk factor for oily or acne-prone skin: Individuals with oily or acne-prone skin may be more sensitive to tallow. On sebum-rich skin, additional fats can sometimes lead to clogged pores. While tallow is not highly comedogenic, those with blemished or acne-prone skin should use it cautiously to see how their skin responds.

Cream composition: Additional ingredients such as oils (e.g. coconut oil) can increase the risk of clogged pores, as some oils are more comedogenic than others. Coconut oil, for example, has a higher comedogenic potential and may cause breakouts in sensitive skin. Our tallows are made without coconut oil.

Yes, skincare products with tallow are suitable for children and babies, as long as they are made from natural ingredients. Tallow is derived from animal fat and is rich in nourishing vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. Our cream contains no synthetic additives, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.

However, it is important to ensure that the cream contains no added fragrances or essential oils, as these could irritate a baby’s skin. In such cases, we recommend using the Pure & Unscented version. Before applying to babies or young children, a patch test or consultation with a pediatrician is advised to rule out any individual sensitivities.

Cleanse your face and pat it dry. Take a small amount of the cream using clean fingers or a spatula. Warm the cream slightly in your hands and gently apply it to the skin, especially on dry or irritated areas.

The Tallow Cream can be used daily – in the morning, evening, or more often if needed. It is best applied after washing or showering, when the skin is clean and slightly damp. For dry or irritated skin, regular use is recommended to keep the skin soft and healthy.

Does beef tallow cream smell like meat?

Beef tallow has a slightly greasy, waxy smell in its original form. Through careful filtering, this is greatly reduced. Our cream is usually odorless or has only a very subtle, milky scent. When applied to the skin, the fragrance dissipates quickly once the cream is absorbed.

Is beef fat good for the face?

Yes, beef fat contains skin-like fatty acids and important vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. This makes tallow cream suitable for the face. The skin is nourished, protected, and regenerated. Beef tallow absorbs well, strengthens the skin barrier, and is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive, or irritated facial skin.

Where can you buy beef tallow?

You can best buy Tallow Cream directly from us in the shop. Our products are made from pure beef tallow from grass-fed cattle and are available in several varieties. Those looking to buy beef tallow will find natural, high-quality care products here – without artificial additives and with transparent sourcing.

What effect does Tallow Cream have?

The effect of Tallow Cream is based on its skin-like fat composition. It makes the skin soft and spreads well. It supports the natural skin barrier, provides intense moisture, and soothes irritated or dry skin. Thanks to the included vitamins A, D, E, and K, Tallow Balm is suitable for sensitive skin.

What is Tallow?

Tallow cream is a skin care cream made from tallow (animal fat, usually from cattle). We use exclusively beef tallow from grass-fed cattle. Our cream is particularly rich and moisturizing, as tallow is compositionally similar to the fats that naturally occur in human skin. For this reason, tallow cream is often used in natural skin care, especially by people who do not wish to use or tolerate synthetic ingredients.

Typical properties and benefits of tallow cream:

Skin compatibility: Since tallow resembles the skin structure, beef tallow can be well absorbed by the skin and helps to strengthen the natural barrier.
Moisturizing: The cream helps to deeply hydrate the skin and soothe dry areas.
Nutrient-rich: Tallow contains vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, which can contribute to the regeneration and care of the skin.
Soothing: The cream is often used to soothe irritated or sensitive skin and can be helpful for skin issues such as eczema or psoriasis.
Natural: Tallow creams are often minimalist in their composition. This makes them particularly popular among those who prefer natural or minimally processed products.

How is tallow obtained?

Our tallow-based moisturizer is made from beef tallow and nourishing ingredients such as plant oils, essential oils, or beeswax. The production is simple and usually takes place in small batches – especially in natural and handmade skincare.

Here’s how the production process works:

Extraction of beef tallow: First, pure beef tallow (Tallow) must be produced by rendering fat tissue. This tallow should be cleaned and solid at room temperature before being used to make the cream.
Melting the tallow: The solid tallow is slowly melted in a pot or a water bath over low heat to return it to its liquid form. This step should be carried out gently to ensure that the tallow does not burn.
Addition of nourishing oils: Once the tallow is liquid, other nourishing oils are added. Commonly used oils include olive oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil, which enhance the moisturizing properties and give the cream a lighter texture.
Addition of essential oils (optional): Essential oils can be added as desired. They give the cream a pleasant scent and additional skin care benefits. Popular essential oils for Tallow Cream include lavender, chamomile, or rosemary. The amount of essential oils should not exceed 10-20 drops per 100 ml of cream.
