Tallow has been used for centuries as a deeply nourishing skincare ingredient, but not all tallow is created equal. The quality of tallow depends on where it comes from, how the animals are raised, and the methods used to extract and purify it. Unfortunately, many skincare brands cut corners, using low-grade or imported tallow from questionable sources. At Fera Tallow, we take a completely different approach, ensuring that every jar of our whipped tallow moisturiser is made with the purest, most nutrient-rich tallow available.
What is Tallow?
Tallow is rendered fat from cattle, prized for its natural compatibility with human skin. Packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and skin-repairing properties, it deeply nourishes, moisturises, and protects the skin barrier. Unlike synthetic moisturisers that sit on the skin’s surface, tallow absorbs effortlessly, working with your skin rather than against it. But while tallow itself is a powerhouse ingredient, the quality of the source makes all the difference.
The Problem with Low-Quality Tallow
Not all tallow is ethically or sustainably sourced. Many skincare brands import tallow from mass-market suppliers in places like China, where there is little transparency about how the cattle are raised or how the fat is processed. In these cases, the animals are often grain-fed, raised in stressful conditions, and exposed to hormones or antibiotics. The result? A lower-quality tallow that lacks the same nutrient density and skin-loving benefits.
Some brands also bleach and deodorise their tallow, stripping away its natural goodness and leaving behind a lifeless, over-processed ingredient. This is not the kind of tallow you want to put on your skin.
Why Our Tallow is the Best
At Fera Tallow, we only use organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished tallow sourced from a certified organic farm where cattle roam freely on lush pastures. This is tallow at its absolute finest:
-
100% Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished – Unlike grain-fed cattle, grass-fed cattle produce tallow that is richer in skin-nourishing nutrients, particularly omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Organic & Free from Chemicals – Our cattle are raised without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, antibiotics, or hormones, ensuring the purest, most natural tallow possible.
-
Ethically & Sustainably Sourced – We prioritise high welfare standards, working with farmers who genuinely care for their animals and the environment.
-
Unprocessed & Unbleached – We never bleach, deodorise, or chemically alter our tallow. We keep it in its pure, natural state so it retains all of its skin-healing benefits.
