Frequently Asked Questions

Tallow is a natural fat rendered from grass-fed cows, packed with nutrients and vitamins that support healthy, nourished skin. It’s rich in fatty acids like oleic and stearic acid, which help hydrate, protect, and restore the skin’s natural barrier.

Used for centuries, tallow is nature’s original moisturizer and the foundation of our all-natural, effective skincare & candles.

I source our tallow from a fifth-generation Colorado rancher who raises healthy cows with care for the land. We use suet fat, the highest-quality fat, because it’s nutrient-rich, deeply nourishing, and absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, balanced, and healthy. It’s something I’m proud to use and share.

Tallow is gentle and naturally compatible with your skin. It’s non-comedogenic and works well for most skin types, even sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Most creams are water-based and packed with synthetic oils and fillers. They might give quick moisture, but it fades fast, because water evaporates and those ingredients don’t actually feed your skin.

Tallow is different. It’s made from skin-identical suet fat, naturally rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that absorb deeply and help restore your skin’s natural balance.

At Rocky Tallow Naturals, we use only grass-fed suet fat from Colorado, taken from around the kidneys, the purest, most nutrient-dense fat available. Many brands use mixed trimmings or grain-fed sources, but we never compromise on quality. Our suet tallow creates a clean, stable, and truly nourishing base that your skin recognizes and absorbs effortlessly.

That’s why our tallow doesn’t just sit on the surface, it helps your skin thrive.

Our tallow products are made with all-natural, nutrient-rich ingredients that don’t contain synthetic stabilizers. Because of this, they can soften or even melt in warm temperaturesthis is completely normal and doesn’t affect quality or performance.

For best results:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • In hot weather, you can refrigerate your cream or lip balm for a firmer texture.
  • Do not leave in your car, especially in the summer, the natural fats can melt quickly and may separate, but simply stirring or warming slightly restores the original consistency.

Our formulas are designed to be safe, effective, and luxurious, without synthetic stabilizers. The softness is a testament to the pure, nutrient-rich fats we use.
