Why Tallow?
Tallow is nature’s best-kept skincare secret, cherished for centuries for its nourishing, soothing properties. Our tallow is carefully rendered from grass-fed and finished cattle, raised on regenerative farms in the lush fields of the Hudson Valley.
At My Neighbor’s Tallow, we hold the highest standards for animal husbandry and sourcing. Less than 1% of livestock in the U.S. are grass-fed and finished, meaning they graze on pasture for their entire lives without grain-based feeds. This practice directly impacts the quality of our tallow, as the health and well-being of the cattle are paramount. Grass-fed and finished tallow is richer in nutrients, ethically sourced, and more sustainable for the environment. By choosing this path, we ensure a product that aligns with our commitment to purity, quality, and regenerative practices.
Why Use Tallow for Skincare?
Tallow is incredibly similar in composition to the oils (sebum) our skin naturally produces, making it one of the most effective moisturizers available. Here’s why tallow deserves a place in your skincare routine.
Rich in Essential Fatty Acids
Tallow is packed with omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids that help support the skin’s protective barrier, ensuring deep hydration and a youthful glow.
Vitamin-Packed Nourishment
It’s a powerhouse of skin-friendly vitamins like A, D, E, and K, all of which are essential for promoting skin regeneration, elasticity, and a healthy complexion.
Compatible with your skin
Unlike synthetic lotions, tallow is 98% bio-identical to human skin, absorbing quickly without clogging pores. It’s ideal for all skin types even dry, sensitive, or eczema & acne prone skin.
Ancestral Wisdom for Modern Times
Used by ancient civilizations like the Romans, Greeks & Egyptians, tallow has stood the test of time. We’re reviving this timeless skincare tradition with a focus on purity, sustainability, and simplicity.
