Beef Tallow - Really?

Why Go Plant-Based in Skincare?

Beef tallow has history, but plants are the future...

Ethical & Sustainable – Vegan, cruelty-free, and kinder to the planet.

Consumer-Friendly – People recognize & trust botanicals like shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil.

• Shea Butter -The most similar in texture to beef tallow, Shea Butter’s antioxidant, essential fatty acid, and vitamin content promotes moisture retention in extra-dry skin.  Apply directly to the face or as an ingredient in body butters, face creams, lip balms, lotions, hair conditioners, masks, and cleansing balms.

• Jojoba Carrier Oil’s chemical composition closely resembles that of human sebum, allowing it to easily penetrate and condition the skin’s deeper layers.  Used as an ingredient in creams, lotions, body butters, face serums, soap bars, hair masks, conditioners, and oil-based cleansers.   

• Coconut Carrier Oil is versatile and quick absorbing, delivering moisturizing and protective properties. It can also be used in solid or liquid form.  It adds hydration to soaps, body lotions, lip balms, hair and scalp products, massage oils, and makeup removers.    

• Olive Oil - Rich in Oleic, Linoleic, and Palmitic Acids it promotes the production of sebum while softening and rejuvenating the skin. Olive oil functions as an emulsifier in formulations such as serums, lotions, oil-based cleansers, hair care products, and after shave.

Nutrient-Rich – Packed with antioxidants, vitamins & skin-loving fatty acids.

Versatile – From light oils to rich butters, plants offer endless textures & benefits.

Better Skin Feel – Smooth absorption, soft finish & natural aromas.

The bottom line: Plant-based ingredients aren’t just an alternative to tallow—they’re a smarter, more sustainable choice for modern beauty.
