Frequently Asked Questions

🐄 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is tallow, and why is it used in your products?

Tallow is a nutrient-rich, rendered form of beef fat, traditionally used in skincare for centuries. It's packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K and mimics the natural oils found in human skin, making it deeply nourishing and non-comedogenic. We source our tallow ethically from grass-fed, pasture-raised animals.

2. Is animal-based skincare better than plant-based?

Both have benefits, but animal-based ingredients like tallow are more biologically compatible with human skin, meaning better absorption and fewer synthetic additives. Our products aim to restore skin health using time-tested, ancestral ingredients.

3. Are your ingredients cruelty-free?

Yes. Our tallow and other animal ingredients are by-products of the ethical meat industry. We do not engage in animal testing. Instead, we believe in honouring the whole animal and minimizing waste.

4. Does tallow clog pores or cause breakouts?

No. Contrary to common myths, tallow is non-comedogenic and has a similar lipid profile to human sebum. It’s especially beneficial for sensitive, acne-prone, or dry skin.

5. What skin types are your products good for?

All skin types! Our formulations are especially effective for dry, sensitive, mature, or eczema-prone skin due to their natural anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.

6. Do your products smell like beef or animal fat?

No. Our tallow is triple-rendered and deodorized using natural methods. We also blend it with essential oils or herbal infusions to create a clean, earthy scent—or unscented options for extra sensitive users.

7. Are your products sustainable?

Absolutely. We source ingredients locally and use animal by-products that would otherwise go to waste. Our packaging is eco-friendly, and our production methods prioritize low environmental impact.

8. Is this suitable for vegans?

No. Our skincare line contains animal-derived ingredients and is not vegan. However, it’s ideal for customers seeking natural, ancestral, and holistic alternatives to synthetic or lab-created ingredients.

9. How should I store tallow-based products?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration is needed, but a stable room temperature helps preserve texture and scent.

10. Can I use tallow on my baby or child?

Yes! Our pure formulations are gentle and safe for babies' sensitive skin. Many parents use our products for diaper rash, cradle cap, and dry patches. Take a look at our Feral Babes range designed specifically for the really young ones.
