Tallow is certainly seeing a lot of buzz these days, but it’s been used as a skin moisturizer by various cultures around the world for ages! Slow-rendered in house using only the hard, nutrient-rich fat that surrounds the kidneys (suet), all of our tallow comes from a family-run cattle farm in Delta Junction, Alaska.

Our whipped tallow balms feature a signature balanced oil blend. After countless hours of research, pages and pages of calculations for each fatty acid and vitamin level, and numerous formulations, we chose to combine tallow with organic, cold-pressed jojoba, rosehip seed, and sweet almond oils to achieve a smooth, rich texture that’s incredible for your skin. Adding these gives the tallow a boost of vitamins A, B, C, E, zinc, copper, and chromium, as well as linoleic, linolenic and gadoleic fatty acids.

For those needing to avoid almond or rosehip oil, Resurrection uses organic, cold-pressed jojoba oil as the only carrier oil with the tallow.
