Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, commonly used in cooking and skincare. It has a rich history dating back to ancient times when our ancestors discovered its incredible properties.

Ancient civilizations prized tallow for its versatility. It was used to make candles, soap, and skincare products. The nourishing properties of tallow made it a popular choice for moisturizing and protecting the skin.

Tayyib Tree's Tallow Use

At Tayyib Tree, we hand-select HMC halal beef suet (inner fat) prized for its rich nutrient density. Through our artisanal process, we meticulously purify it in small batches until it reaches our stringent standards of quality and purity. Once perfected, we infuse it into our beloved creations like the Tallow & Honey Skin Balm. Crafted in our humble home-based workshop, this balm combines our carefully rendered beef tallow with locally sourced raw wild honey, organic jojoba oil, and a skin-focused pure essential oil blend, ensuring a unique and therapeutic unisex aroma.
