Frequently Asked Questions
What is Beef Tallow?
Beef tallow is a carefully rendered fat derived from the suet—the nutrient-rich fat surrounding the kidneys and loins—of cattle. Our tallow being grass-fed and finished comes from cattle raised on a natural grass diet without grains, hormones, or antibiotics, resulting in a pure, nutrient-dense fat. Rich in omega-3s, CLA, and vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Is your tallow also grass-finished?
Absolutely! Not only is it grass-finished the livestock our tallow comes from are completely raised free range and feed on natural grasses. Treated with the highest care and welfare, with no added hormones or antibiotics into their systems. Sourced from sustainable, regenerative farming practices, it supports both eco-friendly agriculture and optimal health.
Does Livia’s Tallow use sustainable and ethical practices?
Yes! Our commitment is to only source ingredients, tallow, oils and scents that are natural/organic to the best of our knowledge. Tallow being an animal byproduct, would otherwise end up in a landfill and be wasted if not appreciated by people like us – we look at putting tallows benefits to the most wonderful of uses... caring for you and your loved one's skin.
Are all your tallow products safe for acne prone skin?
Overall, yes, they are. However, we specifically created our BARE IT ALL TALLOW CREAM to specially support those with prominent skin conditions, with natural additions such as Sea Buckthorn and Neem Oil – both healing powerhouses!
How long does Livia’s tallow last?
Livia’s Tallow products can last for a LONG time! A little goes a long way! If you follow the storage recommendations of keeping it below 30 degrees Celsius, keeping it in its jar and out of direct sunlight – 12 months. That’s if you can get yours to last that long without emptying the jar because of how much you love it! (and family members taking a few swipes without your knowledge).
What exactly are the benefits of tallow?
Livia's Tallow is a nutrient-rich powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega-3s and linoleic acid. Designed to deeply nourish and moisturise, it helps support a healthy skin barrier while leaving your skin soft, smooth, and beautifully cared for. Experience the difference with every application!
What would you recommend for someone with rosacea?
Great question and one we get often, we’d recommend anything that is unscented, all our creams and balms are for face and body. But if we want to be specific; Grass-Fed Tallow with Jojoba Nourishing Balm - Unscented would be our first choice and followed by our For Mummy Tallow Cream - Unscented. Both have amazing properties to help support skin rejuvenation and a little goes a long way!
We would not recommend Grass-Fed Tallow with Jojoba Nourishing Balm - Sweet Orange as anything citrus is known to not be Rosacea friend.
It’s important to recognise that rosacea can be different for every individual, and you should always patch test any new products you introduce into your skincare routine.
