Tallow is rich in the same types of lipids found in human skin and is full of of vitamins A, D, E & K. The fatty acids in tallow are much closer in molecular structure to the oils our own skin produces than are the plant oils more commonly used in skin care products. We don't believe you should put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth. All of these tallow based soaps, balms and lotions are made from high quality, food grade ingredients, locally & organically sourced.
