What is tallow? And how is it used?
Tallow is a rendered suet, which comes from the hard fatty tissue that surrounds beef organs, and has been used in skincare for centuries. I know it may sound a little unconventional, but trust me, this stuff is amazing for your skin. How do you use it? Take a small amount of tallow and apply directly to your skin as a moisturizer. A little goes a long way and it is best absorbed on damp skin. You can use it on dry skin spots, your face or head-to-toe. Hadsy's Tallow is made with tallow from grass fed/finished cows. Tallow has great benefits for our skin including fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and B12. Tallow protects against damage from free radicals due to fat soluble vitamins. Tallow calms dry skin with essential fatty acids. Tallow supports healthy skin barrier function with saturated fats.
What does the unscented tallow smell like?
There is a slight beefy smell to the unscented tallow. The smell, to me, dissipates after a few minutes. You won't smell like beef walking around throughout the day.
Can I use these products on my children?
It is totally up to your discretion. All Hadsy's Tallow products are made with natural ingredients. I, myself, feel comfortable using the Hadsy's Whipped Tallows and Balm Lips on my children, including my 6 month old baby. With that said, I generally only use the lavender or unscented tallow on my kids although I have tried all scents on them. Some essential oils can be harsh on delicate skin. I would save the serums and Let's Be Frank Tallow for 12+ years.
How long will it take to receive my order?
I try to have all orders ready for pick-up, or shipped, the following business day.
What happens if my tallow order arrives melted?
If your tallow arrives melted or more like a balm than whipped, don't be concerned. The balm can be used the same way as the whipped tallow; although it may have a slightly different consistency. The other option is to scoop all product out of the jar into a bowl, place in refrigerator until cool and whip with egg-beaters until the desired consistency is reached.
What happens if my order arrives broken (jars/vials)?
Please contact me immediately via email with your name, order number, and pictures of broken order pieces to maureen@hadsystallow.com.
What does Ylang Ylang smell like?
To me, it has a strong floral scent. Most people describe Ylang Ylang as a deep, rich aroma that's slightly sweet and floral.
Will the tallow help my eczema/skin inflammation?
For most people, the answer is yes. However, like any other product on the market, nothing is a one size fits all. Tallow is easily absorbed into the skin and extremely hydrating which can soothe conditions like eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. I cannot guarantee the tallow will heal any skin irritation/inflammation but from the feedback I've received, my customer's have had nothing short of great results so far!
Is the tallow greasy?
It can be! A little goes a long way so if you put too much, it can leave a greasy feeling. Start with a small amount.
