Frequently Asked Questions

Tallow has been used for centuries to heal, protect, and nourish the skin—offering a natural, time-tested solution rooted in traditional wisdom. What makes beef tallow so effective? Its unique composition closely mimics the structure of human skin, making it incredibly compatible, deeply absorbent, and gentle for all ages and skin types.

​

Rich in essential fatty acids like stearic and oleic acid, tallow supports the skin’s natural barrier and delivers long-lasting hydration without clogging pores. Its chemical makeup allows it to balance oil production and smooth skin texture, making it especially helpful for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin.

Tallow is also packed with vital nutrients—including fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, along with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), niacin, and other micronutrients. These compounds promote cellular regeneration, reduce fine lines, improve skin tone, and help repair damage caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors.

​

With its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, tallow not only protects the skin from oxidative stress but also soothes redness and irritation—supporting a calm, even complexion.

In short, beef tallow offers a holistic, nutrient-rich approach to skincare that hydrates, heals, and protects—naturally.

We source our Tallow from 100% Grass-fed and finished cows right here in the US, which is the highest quality and packed with nutrients. The farm we get our Tallow from does not use pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, GMOs, or added growth hormones. Their cows graze off the land, its grass and native plants.

No. At Agape, we believe in keeping things simple. No chemicals, toxins, GMO's, fillers, dyes, or artificial fragrances and perfumes. Only clean, simple ingredients.

Tallow is uniquely compatible with human skin. It closely mimics our skin’s natural oils (sebum), which means it absorbs easily without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.

Unlike many commercial moisturizers and lotions that are water-based and packed with synthetic ingredients, whipped tallow balm is rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, and K—nutrients that deeply nourish and support healthy skin from the inside out.

Because tallow is bioavailable, your skin knows exactly what to do with it. It doesn’t just sit on the surface—it penetrates and hydrates at a deeper level, helping to repair and protect your skin barrier.

Tallow has been used for generations in traditional skincare, and we love it because it’s effective, gentle, and made from real, whole ingredients your skin can actually recognize and benefit from.

In short?

Tallow isn’t just a moisturizer—it’s skin food.
