How I Render Tallow for Skincare Use
Rendering tallow for skincare is not the same as rendering for cooking.
I start with clean, high-quality kidney suet and render it slowly at low temperatures. This helps remove impurities while preserving nutrients.
The result is smooth, clean tallow that’s mild, stable, and ideal for skin use.
Good tallow starts long before formulation—it starts with patience.
