What is Tallow?

Tallow is a deeply nourishing, time-honored ingredient made from rendered beef fat, specifically from the suet (the fat surrounding the animal's kidneys). Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as skin-loving fatty acids like palmitic acid and stearic acid, tallow closely mimics the composition of our skin's natural oils. This makes it an excellent choice for deeply moisturizing, protecting, and repairing the skin.

At Greenfolk Tallow, we use 100% grass-fed and finished tallow, ensuring the purest, cleanest product for even the most sensitive skin. Our tallow is responsibly sourced and rendered in small batches to preserve its nutrient-dense profile.

Tallow has been cherished for generations as a skincare staple, thanks to its ability to promote elasticity, balance the skin’s natural barrier, and deliver essential nutrients to support healthy, glowing skin. Unlike synthetic moisturizers, it absorbs seamlessly, leaving no greasy residue—just supple, nourished skin.

Whether you’re new to tallow or a seasoned fan, it’s an ingredient that brings simplicity and effectiveness back to skincare, rooted in nature and crafted with care.
