Tallow is rendered animal fat, usually from grass-fed cows. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and its fatty acid profile closely matches your skin’s natural oils, making it deeply nourishing and easily absorbed. At The Local Family, we use only 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow for the purest, most natural care possible..
