What’s in Beef Tallow?
Beef tallow is rendered fat from cows (we use grass-fed).
It’s rich in fatty acids:
Oleic acid – deeply moisturizing
Stearic acid – strengthens skin barrier
Palmitic acid – supports softness and protection
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – supports calm, balanced skin
These are the same types of fats naturally found in our skin’s natural oils (sebum), which is why beef tallow typically doesn’t clog pores. That means it absorbs well, it doesn’t just sit on top, it supports your skin barrier instead of stripping it, it helps prevent moisture loss, it can calm dry, reactive, or compromised skin
High-quality tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins:
Vitamin A – supports skin renewal and smooth texture
Vitamin D – supports skin repair
Vitamin E – antioxidant support
Vitamin K – supports overall skin tone
Because they’re fat-soluble, your skin can actually absorb and use them well.
Can it be used for more than skin? Great question! We have applied to roots and hair and let sit overnight for a silky hair mask. Great for dry weather months.
All our jars are 2 oz jars and made with local tallow from grass fed cows.

Q & A:
Q: Which tallow do you personally use?
A: My girls and I have used the Normal /Acne cream for almost a year. We just started making the Mature Skin blend, so as an adult, I will more than likely jump back and forth between! I enjoy using the Normal cream after being in the sun and the Mature blend at night.
Q: When’s the best time to use tallow?
A: We enjoy using after we wash our face at night. When our skin is dry, we use throughout the day, too.
Q: Can you use the tallow on skin other than your face?
A: Yes! We use on dry heels, legs, shoulders, chest, neck, and especially after being in the sun.
Q: How much do I use?
A: A little bit goes a long long way. Start with a pea size amount and go from there.
Q: Is it greasy?
A: Once applied it feels a little greasy, but give it a few minutes and your skin will absorb the tallow leaving a silky feel!
Q: Where is the tallow made?
A: Our tallow is sourced and rendered locally, grass fed beef. Our creams are made in our kitchen (a mother - daughter project).
Q: What makes this cream speical?
A: Not only is the tallow sourced from grass fed beef, but the arrowroot powder is organic alongside ethically sourced, theraputic grade essential oils. To us, quality matters! We don’t like toxic skin care products in our home.
Q: Will Selah’s Tallow have tallow products?
A: Perhaps! Keep checking back :).
Q: Where does the name Selah’s Tallow come from?
A: Selah is one of the maker’s name, which means to “pause & reflect”… a good reminder for us all! It’s also in the ook of Pslams. Through making the tallow, Selah also gets to learn a lot about running a homebased business.
Q: How long does shipping take? And what if I want to pick up?
A: Please allow 7-10 business days for shipping. Pick up is local Columbia City ONLY at the times given at check out (8:15 AM and 2:30PM).
Q: When the tallow goes OOS, how quickly will the stock replenish?
