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.

Absolutely 5 stars๐ŸŒŸ The packaging alone is the best I've ever seen! The product is so smooth and fluffy. But, most of all, its the ingredients and the love behind the product itself. You can feel the sweat, love and tears the seller has put into this product. I truly look forward to me a long time customer to the one and only Lady May!

The best tallow ever

The best tallow ever. I have tried other tallows when i couldnโ€™t get mine in enough time for vacation and it did not pass the goodness test! Lady May is the best Tallow on the market. Smells great never too greasy and has transformed my skin. I use it day and night for over a year now.

I want to let you know that when the product arrived it was melted down. The jar was about 1/2 full. I have ordered from you multiple times and this is the first time I was truly disappointed.

I am a restorative nutrition practitioner and I don't put anything on my skin unless it's food grade.After trying several brands, I've become a loyal lady may customer. Nothing is as pure and decadent on my skin!

This is a very good body butter. Not too heavy or greasy. Can't really detect a strong scent, so if you're looking for an unscented or mildlyscented , this should work for you.

Exactly as described. Pure whipped body butter. No heavy scent, very light fragrance for those who don't want heavy perfume. Very moisturizing and absorbs quickly into the skin. A little goes a long way and not greasy at at all. Great product and exactly what I was looking for.

Must Have for the Winter!

We are in prime Minnesota winter season which has meant chapped faces, hands, and kids licking above and below their lips raw from runny noses. My friend recommended trying tallow since it worked great for them. I came across Lady May after reading some Reddit posts and weโ€™ve now been using their products for a couple weeks. Itโ€™s a game changer! Hands stay moisturized despite washing hands constantly and it leaves your skin feeling hydrated for hours. Originally thought I would prefer the balm but the whipped body butter feels so luxurious and literally looks and feels like whipped cream consistency. The balm works great for night time applications on the kids dry spots. Definitely give this a try, I canโ€™t stop raving about it!

This product is an evolution in my skin care

This product is an evolution in my skin care. In the past year I have lost 50 lbs and have experienced radical collagen loss from age, vaccine harm and medication. The Manuka honey whipped body butter gets slathered over whatever parts of my body I can reach every day. It's become an integral part of my self-care routine. I love the subtle aroma of the honey and my skin feels deeply nourished.

Wonder texture! I use this on my face. It leaves my skin soft, hydrated, and my pores looking smaller. No issues with breakouts. A little is all you need.

Very moisturizing

I usually get the lavender which I love the scent. I was hoping it would smell more like honey or rose hip, doesn't seem to have much of a smell at all. It is very moisturizing though, so good ๐Ÿ’•

My favorite seller on Etsy, BY FAR. Their products are clean, work wonders on my skin, and are reasonably priced. The addition of the honey had me
giddy!! Please try it if you are on the fence, thank me later!

This is my first time ordering this particular product from this seller, but I am a frequent buyer. I do very much enjoy the consistency of it. While there is a scent, itโ€™s soooooooo subtle (from the honey). Not a lot is required to get a decent amount of surface area on the skin. I actually wouldnโ€™t mind purchasing a 24 oz jar in this stuff with the 24 oz of vanilla. Both are enjoyable.
