FAQs
What is beef tallow?
Beef tallowis a type of rendered fat that comes from the fatty tissue of cows, particularly around the kidneys and loins (called suet). Once it's gently heated and purified, tallow becomes a smooth, shelf-stable fat that has been used for centuries.
What are the benefits of beef tallow?
Beef tallow is prized for its similarity to the natural oils (sebum) in human skin. This makes it incredibly nourishing and easily absorbed. It's rich in: vitamins A, D, E and K, essential fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) – known for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties

Why use tallow based skincare products?
Tallow is deeply moisturizing. It supports skin barrier repair. Tallow is gentle and non-toxic. It helps with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dry sensitive skin.
Is it sustainable and cruelty free?
Yes — beef tallow is a sustainable byproduct when sourced responsibly. At Sunshine Tallow, we only use tallow from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows, and we work with farms that follow ethical, regenerative agricultural practices. Tallow itself is not the result of animal slaughter for skincare purposes— it's a natural byproduct of the meat industry that would otherwise go to waste. By repurposing it, we’re supporting a zero-waste philosophy and reducing environmental impact.
Can I use tallow products everyday?
Yes! Tallow is gentle and safe for daily use, even on sensitive skin or for children. You can use it as:
-A daily face or body moisturizer
-A healing balm for dry patches, eczema, or rashes
-A nighttime skin repair treatment
It’s rich in skin-loving nutrients and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy when used in small amounts.
Should I refrigerate it?
No refrigeration is needed.Tallow is naturally shelf-stable, especially when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your home gets very warm, you can refrigerate it to keep the texture firm, but it’s not required for freshness.
Does it expire?
Yes, but it has along shelf life— typically12 to 18 months, especially if it's stored properly. We recommend using it within a year for the best texture and scent. If it smells off or develops mold (very rare if handled with clean hands), it’s time to replace it.
