Tallow is remarkably skin-compatible, sharing a similar fatty-acid profile with our skin. It’s rich in bioavailable, fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients essential for optimal skin health, including vitamins B12, A, D, E, and K, in a form your skin can easily absorb and utilise.

Yes, tallow is highly compatible with most skin types due to its fatty-acid profile, which closely mimics human skin. It’s deeply moisturising for dry or sensitive skin, yet non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores for oily or acne-prone skin. Our nutrient-rich tallow, sourced from grass-fed cattle, delivers vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12 to support healthy, balanced skin. Always patch-test if you’re trying tallow for the first time.

At Esca, we source our premium tallow from grass-fed cattle raised on a regenerative, organic farm in South Wales. This farm works in harmony with nature, revitalising grasslands to boost biodiversity. The cattle graze freely on wildflower meadows and ancient pastures, as their ancestors did, without grains or manufactured feeds. Raised with high welfare standards, the slowly matured beef produces nutrient-rich tallow—pure, ethical, and ideal for nourishing your skin.

Tallow is naturally gentle and well-tolerated by most, especially those with sensitive skin, as it lacks synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals. Our tallow is minimally processed to preserve its nutrients and purity. However, if you have allergies or concerns, we recommend doing a patch test before full use. Consult a dermatologist if you’re unsure. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with any of our products.

No, our tallow at Esca doesn’t have a strong beefy smell. Sourced from grass-fed cattle raised on regenerative, organic farms, our tallow is carefully rendered to retain its nutrient-rich profile while maintaining a subtle, natural scent. If tallow is completely odourless, it’s often been over-rendered, stripping vital nutrients. We offer both scented and unscented versions to suit your preference, ensuring nourishment without an overpowering odour.

A little tallow goes a long way! Due to its rich, creamy texture, only a small amount is needed for effective application. Thanks to tallow’s similarity to our skin’s fatty-acid profile, it absorbs quickly, even if you apply a bit more than needed, nourishing your skin without feeling heavy.

Store your tallow products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality. As a natural hard oil, tallow solidifies at room temperature but may start to liquefy above 23°C. If it gets too warm, pop it in the fridge to extend its shelf life and keep it fresh. Our Tallow products have a shelf life of 12 months.
