About our products

Plain answers about Liberato Tallow, our handmade grass-fed tallow skincare, and how ordering works. If you need something that isn’t covered here, email Team@liberatotallow.com.

What is tallow, and why do you use it in skincare?

Tallow is the rendered fat of grass-fed cows. We use it as the base of our lotions, balms, and related skincare because it is naturally rich in fatty acids and has a rich, creamy feel on the skin. We combine it with other simple ingredients — most often organic olive oil and essential oils — and make the products by hand.

Is your tallow grass-fed? Where do you source it?

Yes. We describe our tallow as 100% grass-fed (and, on some pages, grass-fed and finished) beef tallow. Our About page says we source ingredients from local and ethical suppliers. We have not published a specific farm name on the site, so we won’t invent one here.

Are the products handmade? Do you have a physical shop?

Yes, they are handmade in small batches in the United States by our family-owned brand, based in Blackwood, New Jersey (Washington Township area). We sell through our online store at liberatotallow.store. We do not have a walk-in retail shop, and pickup is not offered.

What are the main ingredients?

It depends on the product, but the core of our lotions and scrubs is 100% grass-fed beef tallow, organic olive oil, and essential oils. Scrubs also use organic cane sugar. Face cleansers use grass-fed tallow, essential oils (including rosalina), and hexane-free castor oil. Lip balms use grass-fed tallow, organic beeswax, and essential oil.

Zinc Tallow Outdoor Lotion (4 oz pump, $34.99) is made with grass-fed tallow, organic olive oil, carrot seed oil, non-nano zinc oxide, and cocoa powder for a light cocoa scent and tint. Pump a small amount into your hands and massage into skin. Store in a cool area.

Deep Breath Tallow Balm (1 oz, $10.99) is a chest and nose rub made with grass-fed tallow, organic coconut oil, candelilla wax, and peppermint, balm mint bush, lemon, clary sage, and rosalina essential oils. Massage onto the chest, or dab a little under the nose for a cool, fresh scent. For external use only. Do not use on children under 6 or near the eyes.

For a fuller list, see our Ingredients page. Note: that page still lists cocoa butter and beeswax under Zinc, which does not match the current Zinc product page. Until the Ingredients page is updated, the product page is the better source for Zinc.

How do I use the lotions, scrubs, and balms?

Whipped lotions: Warm a small amount between your hands and smooth onto clean, slightly damp skin on the face or body until absorbed. A little goes a long way.

Sugar scrubs: Massage onto damp skin, then rinse. They can be used on hands, elbows, knees, feet, and other areas that feel rough. Once or twice a week is a typical rhythm.

Zinc Tallow Outdoor Lotion: Pump a small amount into your hands and massage into skin.

Deep Breath Tallow Balm: Massage onto the chest, or dab a little under the nose. External use only; not for children under 6 or near the eyes.

What scents can I choose?

Whipped tallow lotion scents currently include Sandalwood Vanilla, Orange Creamsicle, Vanilla Peppermint, Pumpkin Spice, Hot Chocolate, Blush, Limoncello, Blueberry & Vanilla, Lavender Vanilla, and Eucalyptus Spearmint. Sensitive Bliss Whipped Tallow Lotion is unscented. Sugar scrubs, lip balms, body oils, and candle melts have their own scent lists. If you are not sure, Sandalwood Vanilla is our most-loved everyday lotion, and our bestsellers collection is a good place to start.

Do you offer subscriptions?

Yes. On the product pages we checked (including whipped lotions, Zinc Tallow Outdoor Lotion, and Deep Breath Tallow Balm), you can choose Subscribe & save 20%, delivered every month, and cancel anytime. Gift sets are sold as one-time bundles (they currently show a separate 15% gift-set offer on the storefront, which may change).

Where do you ship, and is shipping free?

We focus on customers in the United States. The storefront states that we ship USA only, with free US shipping on orders of $40 or more (applied automatically when eligible). Orders under $40 show a flat shipping rate at checkout. We typically process orders within 2 business days and ship with USPS Ground. You’ll get a tracking number by email once the order ships. Customs or duties, if any, are the customer’s responsibility.

Current storefront promotions, which may end: free Deep Breath Tallow Balm (1 oz) on orders of $50 or more through December 24 (gift sets count), and 15% off gift sets.

What is your return policy?

Our refund policy allows you to request a return within 14 days of receiving the item. Eligible returns should be unused and in the original packaging. Contact us first at LiberatoTallow@gmail.com (or Team@liberatotallow.com for general questions). Opened personal-care / beauty products are generally not returnable for hygiene, except if an item arrives damaged, defective, or wrong — in that case, contact us and we will make it right. Return shipping labels, when a return is approved, are the customer’s responsibility.
