Why Tallow?

Tallow is a time-honored, nutrient-packed moisturizer that has nourished and protected skin for centuries. Its exceptional fatty-acid profile mirrors the oils our skin naturally produces, delivering deep hydration without clogging pores or causing irritation—all free from harsh chemicals.

Historically, tallow played a major role in skincare, soap making, and other personal care products. However, with the invention of industrial seed oils and synthetic alternatives, Tallow grew out of popularity and was labeled as “old fashioned” and in it’s place, industrial and synthetic alternatives were promoted as “modern”, “pure”, and “scientific”…

Fast forward a hundred years, and we’re waking up to the downside of industrial plant oils and forever chemicals!

Rediscover with us the amazing benefits of Tallow! There is simply no better alternative to this simple, natural, and sustainable resource!

Not All Tallow is Created Equal

At Western Montana Tallow Co we take great lengths to ensure we’re producing the finest quality tallow without sacrificing its nutritional value — for this, we believe that every stage of our process matters!

All-natural and health-beneficial Ingredients

We consider the health benefit to every additional ingredient in our products. Some of the ingredients are necessary to make the tallow more useable as a skin product, and some are added specifically for their health property — but whatever we blend with our gorgeous tallow is done so while taking care to only add healthy attributes!

We’ve listed out most of our ingredients here, with their primary health benefit. Ingredients will also be found in the product description for each item.

Soft Oils

We blend soft oils into some of our products to create a softer, more malleable product. This is especially desirable in our balms and salves. We’ve chosen to use castor and/or jojoba oil because of their beneficial properties.

Essential Oils

While our rendering process results in a very mild, faint tallow smell, we understand that some of our customers like a nice natural fragrance in their product. We use only essential oils to add fragrance - no synthetic or mystery fragrances!

Minerals

We incorporate naturally occurring minerals into some of our products to add even more benefits.

By choosing our tallow, you're choosing a healthy, natural, and sustainable product, and at the same time supporting local regenerative ranching which benefits both the environment and our community!

Thank you, and enjoy!!
