What is Tallow?

Bison tallow is a valuable product obtained through fat rendering, a process that extracts pure fats from animal tissues like those of sheep, goats, bison, yaks, and cattle. This technique turns excess fats into stable and versatile substances like tallow or lard, extending their shelf life and enabling a wide array of applications. Tallow, specifically sourced from ruminant animals like bison, offers a sustainable and resourceful alternative. It's a shelf-stable fat, usable in cooking, skincare, medicinal products, and more. Nutritionally rich with vitamins and beneficial omegas, bison tallow is not just versatile but also beneficial for health.

Why Bison Tallow?

Tallow is a natural moisturizer with unique properties that make it particularly beneficial for skin care. It has the ability to deeply penetrate the skin, locking in moisture and essential nutrients. Tallow-based skincare products can help soothe dry and irritated skin, promote skin health, and provide a youthful and glowing appearance. Tallow's CLA content contributes to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it an effective choice for soothing skin conditions, reducing irritation, and providing relief from minor skin discomfort. It can be a natural alternative to products like Polysporin for things like cuts, scrapes, rashes and burns. Tallow is a versatile and safe product for individuals of all ages, from babies to adults and even animals. Its natural composition and lack of harmful chemicals or additives make it a gentle option for various skincare applications.
