At Simply Tallow & Co., our story is deeply rooted in love and the unyielding desire to provide natural solutions for those in need. It all began with a mama's unwavering determination to find a holistic approach to alleviate her young daughter's eczema. Faced with the distress of seeing her child discomforted by chronic skin conditions, she embarked on a journey to seek out gentle and nourishing remedies. Driven by her daughter's well-being, she discovered the remarkable benefits of tallow-based skincare. Witnessing the incredible transformation in her daughter's skin, friends and family were moved by the results and encouraged her to share her success with the world. Thus, Simply Tallow & Co. was born, founded on the principles of care, compassion, and the unwavering belief in the power of natural remedies.

The Origins of Tallow: Nurturing Your Skin Naturally
Tallow, a versatile and time-tested ingredient, is woven into human history, playing a crucial role not just in culinary pursuits, but also in the realms of skincare, soap making, and candle crafting. But where does this revered substance originate?
The Journey Begins with Suet
At the core of tallow's existence lies suet, also known as leaf fat. This dense fat envelops the organs of select ruminant animals, with a particular emphasis on the kidneys. It's this nutrient-rich suet that serves as the foundational source for the creation of tallow.
The Transformation into Tallow
By rendering and purifying the suet, the transformation into tallow begins. After multiple renders at carefully selected temperatures the final product emerges white in color, accompanied by a subtle, earthy aroma – a direct result of the purification process.
Unveiling the Power of Tallow in Skincare
While the idea of using animal fat for skincare might initially appear unconventional, tallow stands as a powerhouse within the realm of skincare products. Our dedication to sourcing tallow from grass-fed and grass-finished cows nurtured without GMO’s, antibiotics, or hormones grants our tallow a superior nutritional profile, elevating it above its grain-fed counterparts. Through our unwavering commitment to sourcing tallow from conscientiously raised and nurtured cows, we aim to offer you skincare products steeped in purity and efficacy.
The DIRT ON TOXIC Skincare Products: Unveiling the Truth
When it comes to skincare, the hidden dangers lurking behind the beautifully packaged bottles are often overlooked. Most commercially available cleansers and moisturizers contain a myriad of hazardous substances such as petroleum by-products, preservatives, artificial dyes, and concealed chemicals. These seemingly harmless products can wreak havoc not only on the delicate balance of our skin's microbiome but also pose grave risks to our overall health.
The inclusion of substances such as phthalates and parabens in fragrant lotions and body washes is particularly concerning. These compounds have been scientifically linked to endocrine disruption and reproductive organ toxicity, fueling widespread apprehension among health-conscious consumers. Continuous usage of these chemical-laden concoctions leads to the bioaccumulation of toxins, permeating not just the surface of our skin but impacting the entirety of our body systems.
At Simply Tallow & Co., we recognize the imperative need to counteract this toxic assault on our skin. Our tallow-based products are meticulously crafted to minimize the detrimental impact that traditional skincare products impose. By choosing our products, you are opting for a reduction in the toxic load your skin endures while safeguarding its microbiome and supplying it with essential nutrients for optimal health and vitality. It’s time to reevaluate our skincare choices and embrace products that prioritize our well-being.
