Where do you source your tallow — and is it ethically raised?
Yes — always. We source our suet exclusively from regenerative farms in Virginia that raise their animals on pasture with care and respect as God intended. It’s important to us that every step — from farm to final balm — aligns with our values of sustainability, stewardship, and slow, intentional living.
What does tallow smell like?
Pure tallow has a mild, earthy, slightly nutty scent — a natural result of the rendering process. We often blend it with other nourishing oils to create a more balanced and subtle final aroma.

Tallow products should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain freshness and effectiveness.
