Benefits of Tallow for Skincare
Utilizing as much of our animals as possible has always been focus for me so the decision to begin creating tallow skincare products from the byproducts of our beef production was a no-brainer for me. I initially started making tallow just for myself to alleviate some eczema I was struggling with on my wrist—it worked wonders! Given the volume of cattle we process each month, there was simply too much product for my own personal use and I am so glad I took the leap and started creating our own Tallow Skincare line. I have honestly been blow always the feedback from our customers and receive message daily about the difference our tallow has made for their skin.
