Hi and welcome to my tallow shop, we are so happy you found us! I am small business owner (literally working from a spare room in my house) that has a love for helping people and this tallow that I custom make is my way of doing so. I only use the finest of ingredients when making my tallows; from grass fed beef that is organically sourced, wonderful smelling and beneficial essential oils that are third party tested and always, organic carrier oils such as castor, coconut, jojoba, and olive. According to the Mayo Clinics website, beef tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins that are vital for many bodily functions, including immune support, bone health, cellular function and skin health. Since the composition of beef tallow is similar to natural oils made by our skin, it can be used as a moisturizer and is gentle on sensitive skin. CLA has anti-inflammatory benefits that lock moisture and may improve the skin's elasticity and overall healthy appearance when applied to the skin. (Mayo Clinic article June 20, 2024).
Each ingredient is selected with much thought and care, because at the end of the day, I will use these same products on my grandchildren, family, friends, and hopefully, you, a new customer/friend, and I want only the very best for the people that I care for.
Let me tell you about myself and my products here at South Alabama Tallow! I am a small town girl living in south Alabama, I am married with 3 grown children and seven rambunctious grandchildren that keep me busy, but not busy enough obviously! My drive to find good products for my skin and that of my grandkids found me realizing how wonderful tallow is and the many benefits that it offers, when combined with great carrier oils and true essential oils, led me to learning to render my own tallow and the journey begin. I make a tallow balm, which is a thicker and more concentrated tallow and it is wonderful for extremely dry skin, eczema, diaper rash or just a daily regime. I currently offer it in a variety of "scents" or essential oils, all that entice the senses. The whipped tallow is just that, tallow that has been whipped to a beautiful fluffy consistency, a carrier oil is added and your choice of essential oil is added and you are ready for an absolute treat with a tallow that goes on like silk. It is a friend and family favorite and we would love for it to become one of yours. The body butter is the last in the line of pure decadence...it is a whipped tallow, with a rich jojoba oil added in and combinations of essential oils that are sure to delight you.
If the tallow balm line isn't enough for you, we make lip balms, offered in a one ounce tin or in a tube, for extra convenience. This lip balm is a mix of tallow, some of the best beeswax and essential oils, to give you not only a defense against the elements, but a great shine and moisturizing feel.
South Alabama Tallow products can be used on everyone, of all ages and those same people will greatly benefit from its all natural ingredients. We have testimonials from many customers that use the balm on their babies at a diaper change, to women that are strictly using it as their main moisturizer; there are people using it to treat severe cases of eczema and are seeing real results from the use of tallow. We have men that work outdoors or in the harsh elements, that have found that our tallow balm is a great healer for dried and cracked hands or severely chapped faces. Whatever your reason for using tallow, no reason is too insignificant, it is simply good for your skin.
We hope you will find something here that you will like and continue to use in your daily skincare regimen. We are excited to see where this tallow business goes and keep an eye out for us each season as we will offer "seasonal scents" to make each mark in time one that is beneficial to you and your skin.
Much love and enjoy our tallow,
