This moisturizer starts the same way our food does — with 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef raised here at Tyner Pond Farm.

Kristen makes this in her own kitchen in small batches. We’re not trying to compete with big cosmetic brands. We’re offering something simple, traditional, and grounded in how people cared for their skin long before lab-made lotions filled the shelves.

What Makes Beef Tallow Different?

Tallow isn’t new. It’s old. And that’s part of the point.

Beef tallow is structurally similar to human sebum — the natural oil your skin already produces. Because of that:

• It absorbs well instead of sitting on the surface.

• It supports the skin barrier, helping retain moisture.

• It softens and conditions without water fillers.

This is an oil-based moisturizer. There’s no added water. No preservatives. No stabilizers. Just fats your skin recognizes.

Ingredients

• Tyner Pond Farm 100% Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

• Coconut Oil

• Organic Rosehip Oil

• Essential Oils

That’s it.

We don’t claim this is a medical product. It’s a moisturizer made from real fats and plant oils — nothing synthetic.

Naturally Occurring Skin-Supporting Nutrients

Beef tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins that are naturally present in properly raised animals:

• Vitamin A – Supports normal skin cell turnover.

• Vitamin D – Involved in skin function and repair.

• Vitamin E – An antioxidant that helps protect skin from oxidative stress.

• Vitamin K – Associated with skin tone and elasticity.

These nutrients occur naturally in the fat of healthy, pasture-raised cattle.

Quality matters here. Grass-fed and finished tallow contains a different fatty acid profile than grain-fed sources, including higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

Who Is It For?

People who want:

• A simple, oil-based moisturizer

• Fewer ingredients

• No petroleum-based fillers

• No synthetic fragrance

Some customers with very dry or reactive skin prefer tallow because of its short ingredient list. That said, everyone’s skin is different. If you have a medical skin condition, consult a professional.

What It’s Not

• Not a miracle cure

• Not a prescription product

• Not a lab-engineered anti-aging cream

It’s a traditional moisturizer.

Scent & Texture

Pure tallow smells like beef fat. We gently render and blend ours with essential oils to create a clean, mild scent. It does not smell like a steak.

The texture is firm at room temperature but melts quickly when it touches your skin.

Pro Tip: A pea-sized amount is enough for your whole face. There’s no water filler — so a little truly goes a long way.

Shelf Stability

Tallow is naturally stable due to its saturated fat profile. This allows it to remain shelf-stable without synthetic preservatives.

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in high heat.

Why We Made This

We raise cattle carefully. We use the whole animal respectfully. Rendering tallow for skin care is part of that tradition.

Large cosmetic brands often rely on petroleum derivatives and highly processed seed oils. We chose a different path — one rooted in agriculture, not chemistry labs.

This product reflects that.
