Farm Wife Tallow | Skincare FAQ
No fluff, just fat facts. Let’s get into it.
What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered beef fat, traditionally used for cooking, soap, and skincare. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and closely resembles the oils naturally found in our skin—making it incredibly nourishing and gentle.
Will it make my skin greasy?
Not at all! Our whipped tallow cream is light, fluffy, and melts into your skin. It gives deep moisture without the greasy feel—just healthy, happy skin. Tallow is nearly identical to the natural oils (sebum) our skin makes on its own. That means your skin recognizes it, welcomes it, and soaks it right up—leaving you hydrated, balanced, and glowing.
Is this safe for babies and sensitive skin?
Yes! Our tallow is free from industrial oils, synthetic fragrances, and fillers. It’s gentle enough for baby cheeks, dry patches, diaper rash, and even eczema-prone skin.
As with any new product, we recommend testing a small amount on a small area first. Most people (even those with sensitive skin) tolerate it beautifully and see dramatic improvement in their problem areas!
What ingredients do you use?
We keep it simple: just beef tallow, high-quality jojoba oil, and pure essential oils for scent—NEVER synthetic fragrances. That’s literally it.
How should I store it?
Store your tallow cream in a cool, dry place. There’s no need to refrigerate, but keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat will help preserve its texture and quality.
Because it’s made with real, natural ingredients, the texture may shift slightly with the seasons—just like farm life.
Can I use it on my face?
Absolutely. Many of our customers love it as a nightly face cream—it’s deeply hydrating and can help calm redness, dryness, and irritation. Most people love it so much they use it on their
WHOLE body.
Try it.
Thank us later. ;)
What makes your tallow cream different?
We whip ours to a soft, cloud-like texture using old-school methods, small-batch care, and the highest quality tallow. It’s soft, it’s fluffy, it’s luxurious, it will quite literally change your skin and your life. We promise we aren’t being dramatic!

Pure & Clean
In a world of overprocessed oils and synthetic ingredients, tallow offers a return to our roots. It’s free of additives, rich in healthy fats, and packed with vitamins like A, D, E, and K. We believe the best things are simple, and tallow embodies that simplicity.

Sustainable & Waste Free
As farm families and ranchers, we’ve always understood the importance of using every part of what the land provides. Tallow reflects our commitment to sustainability—turning what might be considered waste into a valuable, nutrient-dense product.

Versatile & Essential
Whether you’re searing steaks, frying veggies, baking biscuits, or moisturizing your skin, tallow is a multi-purpose powerhouse. Its high smoke point makes it perfect for cooking, while its nourishing properties make it a secret weapon for natural skincare.
