Tallow Face Creams

Tallow face cream, made the old-fashioned way

Tallow is rendered beef fat, and it has been used on skin for generations. Its fatty acids — oleic, palmitic and stearic — overlap with the lipids in your own skin barrier, which is why a good tallow cream feels nourishing rather than just slick.

Every Ivory Clay face cream starts with premium grass-fed suet tallow, whipped with natural oils and essential oils into a soft cream. Choose Anti Aging for mature skin, Complete for everyday moisture, Purifying for oily or blemish-prone skin, or Soothing for sensitive skin that needs extra comfort.

Questions people ask

Is beef tallow good for your face?

Many people with dry or sensitive skin love tallow because its fats overlap with the lipids in the skin’s own barrier. It moisturizes, softens and helps skin hold on to water. As with any new product, patch-test first.

Will a tallow face cream clog my pores?

Tallow is generally well tolerated, and a little goes a long way. If you are oily or blemish-prone, start with a pea-sized amount of our Purifying cream at night.

Does tallow skincare smell like beef?

No. We use carefully rendered suet tallow and natural essential oils, so our creams have a light, clean scent.
