Rivas Ranch / Tallow Skincare

Tallow Skincare

Raised here · Rendered here · Made here

From our cattle to your skin.

We raise the cattle, render the suet by hand and make every jar ourselves in small batches on our North Carolina ranch. Tap what you need and we will take you straight to it.

1What are you shopping for?

Pick the spot. We'll show you what goes there.

Two prices mean two sizes: 50 g / 100 g.

2Not sure where to start?

Start with a set. We already did the picking.

3Need halal?

Halal lip balm.

Our Halal Naked Tallow Lip Balm is the only halal skincare we make. It is a separate product from our regular Naked lip balm, which is not halal. Nothing with emu oil is halal, so our other balms, deodorants and lip balms aren't sold as halal.

The short version

Why ours is different.

1 farm

One source for every jar. The main ingredient has an address.

By hand

We render our own suet in small batches. We don't buy fat.

Short lists

No fillers, no shortcuts. Naked whipped balm is two ingredients.

Why suet

Skin knows this stuff.

Suet is the firm fat around the kidneys, the cleanest fat on the animal. It's naturally rich in stearic and palmitic acid, fats a lot like the ones in your own skin. People have used it for generations.

Most tallow on the market is bulk fat from somewhere else. Ours is traceable, handled start to finish by the people who raise the animals.

How to use it

Warm it. Press it in.

Scoop a little

Smaller than a pea for your face. A little goes a long way.

Warm it

Rub it between your fingertips until it melts.

Press it in

Press into damp skin and give it a minute to sink in.

Trying something new? Patch test first and stop if it irritates your skin. This is skincare, not medicine.
