About Me

I’ve hated lotion my entire life. Every winter, my knuckles would crack and bleed because I couldn’t stand the slimy, slippery feeling left behind by traditional lotion.

The first time I used tallow, everything changed. It rubbed in smoothly, didn’t feel greasy—even though it’s animal fat—and most importantly, it actually worked. My hands stayed moisturized longer than they ever had with lotion, and my skin felt amazing.

Plus, I was already following an animal-based diet and buying meat regularly from a local, grass-fed ranch I trusted. Tallow just made sense—it fit right into my lifestyle.

From Personal Use to Passion Project

When I tried to buy whipped tallow, I ran into two big problems.

First, I couldn’t find a brand that offered pure, one-ingredient tallow. Most were blended with other oils, often without disclosing how much of each was used. Second, I had no idea how those products were made. Were they rendered in non-stick pots that leach PFAS? Was the tallow actually sourced from regenerative, 100% grass-fed farms?

If I was going to use something on my skin every day, I needed to know exactly what was in it—and how it was made.

So I started making it myself. That’s how Head to Tail Tallow was born.

My Skin

When I first started using whipped tallow, I focused on my face and hands. Later, I read about its potential to help with skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and keratosis pilaris.

I’ve had keratosis pilaris on the backs of my arms my whole life—those tiny red bumps that just never go away. Dermatologist-prescribed soaps didn’t help, so I learned to live with it.

But once I started applying tallow regularly, I noticed a real change. My skin felt softer. The bumps were still there, but the redness faded and the texture smoothed out. You can see the difference in the photos below—those are my actual results.

While scientific studies are still catching up, I’ve read countless stories from people seeing similar improvements. From personal experience, I can say with confidence: tallow works.

Thoughtfully Made, From Start to Finish

My health is a top priority, and I’m incredibly intentional about what goes in and on my body. That same level of care is behind everything we do at Head to Tail Tallow.

We go beyond sourcing from 100% grass-fed, regenerative farms. We render our tallow in non-toxic cookware, carefully strain and whip it, and package it in biodegradable, eco-friendly materials. Every detail matters—from farm to jar to your doorstep.

My Results

This was about a week after I first started using tallow on my arms and noticed a tiny difference.

I haven’t actually taken a current photo of my arms, but when I do, I will add that here.
