What is Tallow?
________________________________________
Beef tallow is a traditional and versatile fat rendered from the suet, or raw fat, of cows. For centuries, tallow has been a staple in households and apothecaries alike, revered for its nourishing qualities and multifunctional uses. Historically, it was a key ingredient in soaps, candles, and even cooking, prized for its long shelf life and utility. In skincare, tallow was celebrated for its ability to soothe and moisturize, aligning beautifully with the principles of holistic care. Rhode Island Remedies honors this rich history by crafting timeless products like Tallow in the Raw to bring the wisdom of natural ingredients to modern routines.

Tallow’s history in skincare spans cultures and centuries, from Indigenous communities to European herbalists who recognized its ability to support the skin's natural barrier. The unique composition of tallow mirrors the fatty acids found in human skin, making it especially effective in providing deep hydration and protection. This remarkable alignment with our skin’s biology explains why tallow continues to be a favored ingredient for holistic skincare enthusiasts.
At Rhode Island Remedies, we proudly use only organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished beef tallow in our flagship product, Tallow in the Raw. This commitment ensures that our tallow is of the highest quality, packed with skin-loving nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega fatty acids. These elements work synergistically to restore, soften, and strengthen the skin, promoting a vibrant, healthy appearance. What’s more, our tallow is free from any fragrances, synthetic additives, or harmful chemicals, making it ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

The benefits of grass-fed and grass-finished tallow go beyond purity. Cattle raised on a natural, grass-based diet produce fat that is richer in antioxidants, CLA, and anti-inflammatory properties. Sourcing exclusively from American farmers, Rhode Island Remedies ensures that every jar of Tallow in the Raw embodies not only superior quality but also the integrity of supporting local, sustainable agriculture. As a small, Rhode Island-based company, we are passionate about keeping our operations local, empowering our community, and delivering premium products that customers can trust.
