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.

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 Blue Moon tansy tallow safe for kids?
We generally recommend Blue Moon Tansy for teenagers (ages 13+) and adults.
While the grass-fed tallow and squalane base is incredibly gentle, blue tansy is a highly active botanical. Babies and young children have ultra-thin, sensitive skin that can easily be overwhelmed by potent botanical oils.
For teenagers dealing with hormonal changes, redness, or blemishes, Blue Moon Tansy can be incredibly soothing and balancing. However, because teenage skin can be unpredictable, we always recommend starting with a 24-hour patch test on the jawline and applying a small, pea-sized amount to damp skin.
Is Blue Moon Tallow helpful for acne, psoriasis, and eczema?
Blue Tansy Tallow calms reactive skin by repairing the natural barrier and soothing inflammation. Grass-fed tallow mimics your skin's oils to seal the barrier, which is crucial for eczema and psoriasis, while the Chamazulene in Blue Tansy acts as a biological fire extinguisher for redness and itching.
This duo clears acne and softens plaques without stripping your skin.
Note: Always patch test first if your skin is reactive.
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 does blue tansy smell like?
Blue Tansy has a naturally distinct aroma described as sweet, herbal, and slightly floral with an earthy undertone.
The scent comes entirely from Blue Tansy itself, not synthetic fragrance. Its natural aromatic compounds also give it its signature deep blue color.
If you are sensitive to scent, warm a small amount between your fingertips before applying to soften the aroma.
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.
What's the shelf life?
Unopened, our tallow products will stay fresh for up to 12 months. Once opened, we recommend using them within 6 months for optimal freshness and nutrient potency.
Care Instructions: Because our formulations are 100% waterless and free from synthetic chemical preservatives, they are sensitive to temperature and moisture. To maximize their shelf life, store your jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always ensure your hands are clean and dry before dipping into the product.
