FAQs

What is tallow?

Tallow is derived from beef suet through a process called
rendering, where raw fat is heated until it liquefies, then purified into a smooth, nutrient-rich substance. This natural fat is loaded with essential vitamins—A, D, E, and K—which your skin can easily absorb and utilize, unlike
synthetic alternatives.

  • Vitamin A: Acts as a natural retinol, supporting skin regeneration.
  • Vitamin K: Protects against free radical damage.
  • Linoleic acid: A beneficial fatty acid that supports skin health.
  • Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties: Ideal for soothing and healing the skin.
  • Promotes collagen production: Improves skin elasticity and resilience.
  • Molecular composition similar to human skin: Helps restore balance and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier.
  • Bioavailability: Speeds up wound healing and supports skin repair.

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! All of our products are formulated with gentle, skin-loving ingredients. Our BARE Tallow Whip, in particular, is free of added fragrances and is perfect for those with sensitivities or allergies. The tallow and organic olive oil in our balms are naturally soothing and non-irritating, making them safe for sensitive skin.

What can tallow help with?

Tallow is a versatile, all-natural ingredient that works
harmoniously with your skin due to its close resemblance to human cell structure. Unlike synthetic alternatives, high-quality tallow is highly
bioavailable, meaning your skin can easily absorb its beneficial properties.
This compatibility allows tallow to support rapid healing and aid in reversing
skin damage.

Suitable for all skin types, tallow can be used as a
moisturizer, face balm, or in first-aid and diaper bags for on-the-go care. Tallow whips address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Dry skin
  • Chapped hands
  • Eczema
  • Cuts and burns
  • Acne and redness
  • Scarring and fine lines
  • Wrinkles and sun damage
  • Itching and bug bites
  • Stretch marks
  • Keratosis pilaris
  • Cradle cap & diaper rash
  • Post-shave irritation

What to look for in beef tallow skincare?

The source of ingredients is crucial for quality skincare.
At Crown of Roses, we source our tallow from small, family-owned organic farms
where cattle are pasture-raised and grass-fed. When choosing tallow, make sure
it comes from grass-fed, chemical-free, hormone-free, non-GMO, and
vaccine-free
cattle.

  • Balanced Fatty Acids: Grass-fed tallow contains a better balance of essential fatty acids.
  • Nutrient Density: Grass-fed tallow has up to four times more vitamins and
    minerals compared to conventionally raised cattle.
  • Hand-Rendered for Quality: Our tallow is hand-rendered to preserve its full nutrient
    profile and bioavailability.

How long can you store tallow whip?

Tallow whip typically lasts up to 12 months when stored at room
temperature. To extend its shelf life, make sure your hands are clean before
using the product to avoid contamination, which helps keep it fresh.

Tallow Whip Appearance and Smell

Since each batch is hand-crafted from pure beef suet, the color and fragrance may vary slightly. We do not use synthetic fragrances as they can
harm the skin, endocrine system, and fertility. The herbs and oils included are added for their benefits, not for perfumed scents.

How long will one jar last me?

A 2 oz jar typically lasts up to 2 months when used daily or at least five days a week. Start with a pea-sized amount, working it into your skin. The goal is not to leave a greasy residue but rather a light, refreshing coating. Adjust the amount based on your skin’s needs.

What is your production process?

We use nontoxic materials and tools for each hand-crafted batch. Stainless steel and glass are used throughout the production process to ensure purity and safety.

Why Olive Oil?

  • Moisturizing: Contains Vitamin E and squalene, which help retain moisture.
  • Anti-aging: Antioxidants help fight oxidative stress, linked to skin aging.
  • Exfoliating: Olive oil’s alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) aid in removing dead skin cells.
