What's Inside & Why You'll Love It
- 9 oz Lavender Whipped Tallow: Whipped grass-fed beef tallow with a gentle lavender aroma, made for everyday face, body and hand moisture.
- Lavender Mint Soap Bar: A tallow soap bar that pairs lavender with refreshing mint for a rich, gentle everyday lather.
- Grasshopper (Mint) Tallow Lip Balm: Tallow and beeswax lip balm with a cool mint finish for everyday lip moisture.

- Lady May Tallow Safety Matches: 4" safety matches in a glass jar with a cork lid and our Lady May Tallow label. The longer length makes it easy to reach the wick, and the jar looks good left out beside the candle.
How to Enjoy It
Light. Cleanse. Moisturize. Finish. Light the Lavender candle with the included matches, lather the soap with water and rinse, warm a little whipped tallow between clean hands and massage it into skin, then finish with mint lip balm.
Use & Care
For external use only. Refer to each individual product label for ingredients and directions. Patch test skincare before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs. Avoid direct eye contact. Store skincare away from heat and direct sunlight; temperature changes may affect whipped texture.
Remove the candle from all gift packaging before lighting. Burn on a heat-resistant surface, within sight, away from children, pets and anything flammable, and follow the candle label. Strike one match at a time and keep matches out of reach of children.
Handcrafted in small batches in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, from the same tallow tradition that started in our family restaurant kitchen.

Tallow FAQs
What is tallow?
Tallow has been used for centuries in skincare. With bioavailable vitamins A, B12, D, E, K, and various fatty acids, tallow helps soften, moisturize, and revitalize the skin.
Do your products have a "beefy" scent?
We get this question all the time and while it is very valid, the answer is no!
We use a wet-rendering process for all of our tallow products. This completely purifies the tallow, leaving it odorless, while maintaining the key nutrients and benefits for your skin!
How much tallow should I use?
A little goes a long way with our tallow products. Start by using the size of a penny and see if you need more! Tallow will soak into your skin and leave your skin barrier deeply moisturized.
How should I store my tallow products?
Store your moisturizer away from light and drastic temperature changes.
To maintain its original texture, store your moisturizer in a typical temperature-controlled environment (68-74 degrees). Extreme temperatures can cause the tallow to harden in cold conditions or melt in warm conditions. If this occurs, there's no need to worry; the moisturizer is still usable, but know the texture may change.
Can I use tallow if I have oily skin?
Yes! When the skin is excessively cleansed and stripped of its natural oils, it tends to overproduce oil. Using a high-quality moisturizer, like whipped tallow, can help maintain skin's moisture balance and prevent excess oil production.
Can I use tallow if I have acne-prone skin?
Yes! The antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing qualities of tallow can greatly benefit acne-prone skin.
What are the uses for tallow skincare?
There are many uses for your tallow skincare products.
Our products can be used for moisturizing the skin (face & body), diaper rashes, and eczema/other skin irritations.
Is this product organic?
Our tallow boasts a clean label with no artificial ingredients. However, it is not certified organic.
What part of the cow does the fat come from? Is it suet?
The fat we use primarily comes from the kidney area and loins of the cow. This specific type of fat is known as suet, prized for its purity and quality. Our "nose-to-tail sustainable farms" ensure that no fat goes to waste, utilizing all parts of the animal for their unique benefits for a premium blend of beef tallow.
Are the farms sustainable?
Yes, the farms we partner with focus on ethical practices that respect both the land and the animals. Every batch of our tallow carries the promise of sustainability and a nod to generations past.
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
No, the product is shelf-stable at room temperature. However, you can refrigerate or freeze it if you wish to extend the shelf life. Refrigeration will make the product harder, but many bakers prefer this consistency for creating flakier crusts.
