Nourished by Nature Tallow is a family-owned business born out of a passion that started years ago. When we planned to grow our family, we became more aware of the toxins in our environment, food and everyday products including skincare. Throughout this journey of becoming more holistic in approach, we have found one the best ways is to eat food and consume products that are as direct from their source as possible. The old wives tale, “what goes on your skin should be so safe you could eat it”, is something we hold tightly to. 

Tallow is rendered suet (soo-uht) from cattle or sheep. Suet is the fat primarily surrounding the kidneys and other major organs. The suet is then rendered under heat to purify it into tallow. There are many benefits of tallow because of the nutrients it contains such as; high in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K2, B12, Choline, omega 3’s, stearic acid and conjugated linoleic acid. The nutrients combined makes tallow an excellent occlusive agent that retains moisture in the skin and acts as a natural barrier. Tallow is a non-toxic nourishing and healing skin moisturizer that is safe for the body’s largest organ to absorb. It’s so powerful that Medical oncologists have studied the effects of grass-fed/grass-finished tallow and their research concluded that the tallow containing fats like conjugated linoleic acid has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties as well as the palmitoleic acid was proven to have natural antimicrobial properties (Clement).
