Why Tallow
The Ancestral Skincare Secret Your Skin’s Been Waiting For
Rich in nutrients. Biologically compatible. Time-tested for generations.
Back to the Basics
What Exactly Is Tallow?
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cows. It’s almost identical to the oils your skin naturally produces—making it deeply absorbable, healing, and gentle. It’s nature’s original moisturizer.
1. It’s Skin-Compatible
Tallow’s molecular structure closely mirrors human skin oils, making it deeply nourishing without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
2. Rich in Fat-Soluble Vitamins
Grass-fed tallow contains powerful nutrients:
- Vitamin A – promotes skin cell turnover
- Vitamin D – supports immune function and barrier repair
- Vitamin E – protects against oxidative stress
- Vitamin K – reduces redness and supports elasticity
These vitamins work together to heal, protect, and deeply moisturize—naturally.
3. Safe for Sensitive Skin
No preservatives. No seed oils. No toxins. Tallow is gentle enough for babies, pregnant mamas, and those with eczema, acne, or rosacea.
4. Long-Lasting & Stable
Unlike seed oils, tallow doesn’t oxidize easily. That means longer shelf life, better skin protection, and no rancid residue.

“Tallow is the only thing that’s truly healed my eczema and I’ve tried everything.”
A Brief History of Tallow
From Roman balms to pioneer homesteads, tallow has been used across cultures for its healing properties. We’re not reinventing skincare—we’re just honoring what already works.
- Ancient Romans used it in balms and salves for wounds and sunburns
- Pioneers and homesteaders relied on tallow for dry skin, chapped lips, and baby care
- Traditional healers combined tallow with herbs and beeswax to create all-purpose remedies

Why We Use Grass-Fed Tallow
At Wild & Healthy, we believe in quality. Our tallow comes from local regenerative farms, where cows graze on pasture and are raised with care.
This matters—because healthy animals = healthy fat = healthier skin.
We whip our tallow in small batches and blend it with ingredients like raw honey and essential oils to support your skin’s natural function—without ever working against it.
