Not all tallow is
created equal.

Raised differently. Processed differently.

The source matters as much as the ingredient. Bison are naturally raised, free-range animals. Unlike conventional cattle, it is illegal to administer growth hormones or routine antibiotics to bison. What you get is a cleaner, more natural fat — one that hasn't been altered or pushed for mass production.

Even within "grass-fed" beef, there's often a gap between perception and reality. Many cattle are grass-fed early on, but grain-finished before processing. Bison remain consistent to their natural diet from start to finish.

For centuries, bison have been regarded as a vital and respected resource — often referred to as a gift from nature. Every part was used with intention.

That same philosophy carries into how their tallow nourishes the skin.

High in CLA

Conjugated linoleic acid — anti-inflammatory, supports collagen production and skin repair.

Vitamins A, D, E & K

Fat-soluble vitamins that support skin renewal, repair, and long-term resilience.

Absorbs efficiently without disrupting your skin's natural barrier or clogging pores.

Bison tallow vs. beef tallow

	Bison tallow	Beef tallow
Hormone-free	Yes — by law	Not guaranteed
Antibiotic-free	Yes	Often not
Consistent natural diet	Natural only	Often grain-finished
Higher CLA content	Yes	Lower
Mimics human sebum	Closely	Less so
Rendering passes needed	Minimal	Often multiple
Color after rendering	Rich golden	Often gray
Won't clog pores	Yes	Less reliably

PURITY, PROCESSING & VISIBLE QUALITY

You can see the difference.

Bison tallow requires minimal rendering — typically just twice — to reach a clean, usable state for skin care. This gentle process preserves its natural vitamins and beneficial compounds. Beef tallow, by comparison, often requires repeated rendering to remove impurities and odor — which can degrade its original nutrient profile with each pass.

HOW TO USE OUR BISON TALLOW

More than a moisturizer.

Apply a small amount morning or evening. A little goes a long way — one jar typically lasts two months with daily use. Works on face and body. Great for all skin types.
Helpful for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis due to its calming, restorative properties. Its anti-inflammatory CLA content makes it particularly suited for compromised skin.
Apply a small amount to the ends of hair — wet or dry — to smooth, condition, and reduce dryness. Can also be worked into the scalp for deep moisture.
Elbows, heels, hands, lips — anywhere skin takes a beating. Apply more generously to these areas. The frankincense body balm is especially suited for intense work.
