Skin Science 101: Why Tallow Is So Effective
Why Tallow? Because Your Skin Recognizes It.
Tallow is great for your skin because it closely resembles the natural oils your skin produces, making it easily absorbed and very nourishing. It is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and packed with nourishing fatty acids. It supports hydration, barrier repair, and healing, all without the chemicals found in typical skincare.
Why You'll Love Blue Moon Tallow
FAQ's
Where do you source your tallow?
We source our tallow from sustainable, grass-fed and finished farms right here in Alberta. These small-scale farmers prioritize ethical practices, animal welfare, and regenerative land care — so you can feel good about what you’re putting on your skin and where it comes from.
Does it smell like beef or animal fat?
Not at all. Our multi-step purification ensures the grass-fed tallow is clean and odorless before whipping. This creates a neutral base for the sweet, herbaceous notes of Blue Tansy and the earthy, resinous warmth of Frankincense, resulting in a sophisticated botanical aroma rather than a beefy one.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cows that closely mimics the natural oils (sebum) in our skin. It’s rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K — making it deeply nourishing, healing, and perfect for dry or sensitive skin.
What's the shelf life?
Since our Tallow is 100% natural and free from synthetic preservatives, we recommend using it within 6–12 months of opening. To keep your 'cloud' fresh, store it in a cool, dry place and always use clean, dry hands for application.
Is Blue Moon Tallow helpful for acne, psoriasis, and eczema?
Blue Tansy tallow treats reactive skin by repairing the natural barrier and calming inflammation. The grass-fed tallow mimics your skin’s own oils to seal leaky skin, which is essential for eczema and psoriasis. Simultaneously, the Chamazulene in Blue Tansy acts as a biological fire extinguisher. This duo effectively soothes intense itching, softens plaques, and clears acne by cooling heat and redness at a cellular level without stripping your skin.
As always, we recommend patch testing first, especially if your skin is reactive.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
While our ingredients are natural, we do not recommend using this specific blend during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to the potency of Blue Tansy and Frankincense essential oils. We always suggest consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing new essential oil products into your routine during this time.
