We totally get it - it sounds unusual at first! But here's the cool part: beef tallow is like your skin's long-lost twin. It mimics your natural skin oils perfectly, which is why it absorbs so beautifully and gives incredible hydration. Plus, our tallow is halal guaranteed and grass-fed. Your ancestors used it, and spoiler alert - they had amazing skin! 🐄
Not at all! One of the coolest things about tallow is that it's so similar to your skin's natural sebum that it actually helps balance oil production. It's like teaching your skin how to be its best self. And with jojoba oil and olive oil in the mix, you get deep hydration without the heavy feeling!
A little goes a long way with our concentrated formulas! One jar of Body Butter (200ml) typically lasts 2 months but depends on individuals use style, while Tallow Glow can last even longer since you only need a tiny amount. It's like skincare magic - less is definitely more! ✨
Yes! Especially Tallow Glow - it's perfect for face and body. Our Body Butter can also be used on the face, but start with a small amount to see how your skin responds. Similarly, Expose Block is a must have if you are exposed to UV rays. 😊
Beef tallow hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier with fatty acids like oleic and stearic acids, making it ideal for dry or sensitive skin. It may help with conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its emollient properties, as noted in a 2024 Cureus study. It’s also rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which nourish the skin, support elasticity, and promote a healthy complexion. Plus, it has anti-microbial properties to protect against bacteria.
After a shower when your skin is clean is perfect - it helps lock in that moisture! But honestly, you can use them anytime your skin needs some love. Morning glow-up? Check. Evening self-care ritual? Double check!
Totally fine! It's like chocolate - sometimes it melts, but it's still delicious (though please don't eat our body butter! 😄). Just pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes and it'll solidify right back. The quality remains exactly the same!
Our natural, chemical-free formulas are generally safe, but we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider first or doing a patch test on your skin. Every pregnancy is unique, you and your doctor knows yourself best! Safety first, glow second! 🤰
Many of our customers with sensitive skin love our products, but we always recommend doing a patch test first. Apply a small amount on your inner wrist or inner elbow and wait for 24 hours, and see how your skin responds. It's like a first date for your skin!
Some of our customers have experienced amazing results with eczema and psoriasis.

Great question! Beef tallow is simply rendered fat from cattle - think of it as nature's original moisturizer! It's been used for centuries by our ancestors for cooking, candles, and yes - skincare. We use only halal grass-fed beef tallow, which means it's packed with nutrients and free from harmful additives. It's like getting a skincare ingredient straight from Mother Nature's pharmacy! 🌿
Here's where it gets really cool! Beef tallow is almost identical to your skin's natural sebum (the oils your skin produces). It contains the same fatty acids - palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids - that your skin recognizes and loves. Plus, it's loaded with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K that:
- Create a protective barrier to lock in moisture
- Help repair damaged skin cells
- Provide deep, long-lasting hydration
- Support your skin's natural healing process Think of it as speaking your skin's native language! ✨
Many of our customers with eczema have shared amazing results! Here's why tallow can be helpful:
- It's deeply moisturizing without harsh chemicals that often trigger eczema flare-ups
- Contains anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe irritated skin
- Creates a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss
- Free from common eczema triggers like synthetic fragrances and parabens
However (and this is important!), eczema is a medical condition, and everyone's triggers are different. We strongly recommend:
- Doing a patch test first
- Consulting with your dermatologist
- Starting with a small amount on a less affected area Think of it as a gentle experiment with your skin's happiness! 🩹
This might surprise you, but yes! Many acne-prone individuals love tallow because:
- It helps balance your skin's natural oil production (crazy, right?)
- It's non-comedogenic when pure (won't clog pores)
- Contains antimicrobial properties that may help with acne-causing bacteria
- Provides moisture without the heavy, greasy feeling of synthetic products
The key is that tallow mimics your skin's natural oils, so instead of adding "foreign" oils that might cause breakouts, you're giving your skin what it already knows and loves. But as always, patch test first and listen to your skin! 🎯
Absolutely! A melted tallow product is like melted chocolate - it might look different, but it's perfectly safe and just as effective. Here's what's happening:
- Beef tallow naturally melts around 100-110°F (38-43°C)
- All the nutrients and benefits remain completely intact
- The melting is actually proof that we don't use artificial hardeners!
Quick fixes:
- Pop it in the fridge for 30-45 minutes to solidify
- Give it a gentle stir if the ingredients separated slightly
- Use it in its liquid form - it actually absorbs even faster this way!
Pro tip: In UAE's warm climate, storing your products in a cool, dry place (or even the fridge during summer) keeps them perfectly whipped and ready to pamper your skin! ❄️
Remember: Natural products dance with the temperature - it's totally normal and actually a good sign that you're getting the real deal without synthetic stabilizers!
Beef tallow is rich in fatty acids that closely mimic the skin's natural oils, making it highly compatible and effective for hydration. It contains vitamins A, D, E, and K, which provide deeper nourishment compared to coconut oil, which can clog pores in some cases, or shea butter, which excels at hydration but lacks tallow’s nutrient density. Tallow is especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin, though it may not suit oily, acne-prone skin as well as shea butter.
You can mix beef tallow with ingredients like cocoa butter, coconut oil, or essential oils to create a customized moisturizer. For example, combine 7 oz of pure beef tallow with 1.5 oz of raw cocoa butter, 1 oz of coconut oil, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Melt the ingredients together, cool slightly, and whip until creamy for a luxurious, nourishing blend. Or simply you can order our perfected blend of products.
Pure beef tallow has no pH on its own, but when applied to the skin with water or other ingredients, it settles around 5–6.5. This range aligns with the skin’s natural acid mantle, helping to maintain a protective barrier against bacteria and irritation, making it suitable for most skin types especially sensitive skins.
Beef tallow does not contain collagen itself, but it’s rich in vitamins (A, D, E, K) and fatty acids (like stearic and oleic acids) that can support the skin’s natural collagen production. This may improve skin elasticity and firmness over time, though it’s not a direct collagen source.
When rendered properly at low temperatures, high-quality beef tallow—especially from grass-fed sources—has a mild, neutral scent. If heated too high during rendering, impurities can create a beefy odor, but INSHA's products are crafted to minimize any unpleasant smell, making them pleasant for daily skin care use.
Take a small amount of beef tallow (about the size of a pea), warm it between your hands to soften it, and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Apply it to slightly damp skin after cleansing to lock in moisture. For deep hydration, use it at night to allow maximum absorption while you sleep. We recommend using a blend like Tallow Glow or BT Body Butter for optimum skincare due to its other carefully chosen ingredients.
Pure Beef tallow is best suited for dry, sensitive, or mature skin due to its rich, hydrating properties, as recommended by dermatologists like Dr. Freeman.
Store pure rendered beef tallow in a sealed container at room temperature (60°F–70°F) for up to a year—it will solidify and stay stable. For longer shelf life, refrigerate it (35°F–40°F) for 12–18 months, or freeze it (0°F or below) for 2–3 years. Keep it in a cool, dark place to prevent rancidity.
Yes! Mix 7 oz of pure beef tallow with 1.5 oz of raw cocoa butter, 1 oz of coconut oil, and a few drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g., cedarwood or lavender). Melt the ingredients in a double boiler, cool slightly, and whip until creamy. Store in a glass container and enjoy a natural, nourishing moisturizer.
