Yes! Our glass jars can be cleaned and recycled, or repurposed around your home for small keepsakes, herbs, craft supplies, or travel essentials.

Tallow skincare is made from carefully rendered beef fat, a traditional ingredient that has been used for generations to nourish and protect the skin. Our tallow comes from grass-fed cattle and is blended with thoughtfully selected ingredients to create a rich, deeply moisturizing balm that supports healthy-looking skin.

Store your jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because our products are made with natural ingredients, they may soften in warm temperatures or become firmer when cold. Both are completely normal and won’t affect the quality of your balm.

A little goes a long way! Start with a pea-sized amount and gently massage it into your skin. You can always add more if needed, but most people are surprised by how far one small scoop stretches.

Yes! Allow your tallow a few minutes to absorb before applying makeup. Many customers enjoy using a small amount as a nourishing base, especially during cooler months.

Never. We love animals and do not test our finished products on them.

Tallow is naturally rich in skin-loving fatty acids that help moisturize and support the skin’s natural barrier. Many people appreciate its simple ingredient list and traditional approach to skincare.

For the best quality, we recommend enjoying your product within 8–12 months of purchase. Store it with the lid tightly closed and avoid introducing water into the jar.

Since our whipped tallow is highly concentrated, a little goes a long way. Depending on how often you use it, most customers find a jar lasts several months with daily use.

Not at all! Properly rendered tallow has only a very mild natural scent. Our scented products are infused with essential oils or botanicals, while our fragrance-free option has only a light, natural aroma that fades quickly after application.

Many people notice softer, more hydrated skin after just a few uses. Because healthy skin takes time, consistent daily use often provides the best long-term results.

Tallow is rich and nourishing, but when used correctly, it absorbs beautifully into the skin. Because it’s highly concentrated, we recommend starting with a pea-sized amount. Your skin should feel soft and moisturized—not heavy or oily.

Our gentle formulations can be a wonderful option for little ones. For babies, we recommend choosing fragrance-free products whenever possible and performing a patch test before regular use.

Natural tallow can soften or melt during warmer weather. If your balm arrives soft, simply allow it to cool at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for a short time until it firms back up. While the whipped texture may change slightly, the quality and effectiveness remain the same.

We believe skincare should be simple and intentional. Our products are handcrafted with grass-fed tallow and thoughtfully selected ingredients like jojoba oil, squalane, beeswax (in select products), botanicals, and pure essential oils depending on the product.

Many people with dry or sensitive skin enjoy using tallow because of its rich moisturizing properties. However, our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you have a chronic skin condition, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before use.

Everyone’s skin is unique, but many people find tallow to be surprisingly compatible with their skin. It absorbs well and leaves skin feeling nourished rather than greasy. If you’re acne-prone, we recommend introducing any new skincare product gradually.

Because our products are made with natural ingredients, occasional graininess can happen when fats warm and cool at different temperatures. This is completely normal and doesn’t affect the quality of your product. The tiny grains will melt as you massage the balm into your skin.

Yes! Every jar is handcrafted in small batches with care and attention to detail. We believe slow, intentional craftsmanship creates products you’ll feel good about using every day.

Not at all! While tallow is especially loved by those with dry skin, many people with normal, combination, and mature skin enjoy it as well. Since every person’s skin is different, we recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting based on your skin’s needs.

Our products are water-free, so they don’t require traditional preservatives. To keep your balm at its best, always use clean, dry hands—or your included wooden spoon—and avoid introducing water into the jar.

We whip our tallow to create a light, airy texture that melts beautifully into the skin. This process makes application easier while allowing a little product to go a long way.

Because every pregnancy is different, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using products containing essential oils. Our fragrance-free products are a wonderful option if you’re looking for the gentlest choice.

Absolutely! Our whipped tallow is gentle enough for both the face and body. Since it’s highly concentrated, a little goes a long way. Start with a pea-sized amount and add more if needed.

No. Because tallow is an animal-derived ingredient, our products are not vegan. We proudly use responsibly sourced grass-fed tallow because we believe in honoring traditional ingredients and making thoughtful use of the whole animal.

Never. We scent our products only with pure essential oils or botanical infusions. We do not use synthetic fragrance oils in our skincare.

At Olive Alabaster Co., we believe skincare should be simple, intentional, and rooted in tradition. Every product is handcrafted in small batches using responsibly sourced grass-fed tallow and thoughtfully chosen ingredients—without unnecessary fillers or synthetic fragrances.More than skincare, we hope every jar invites you to slow down, care for your skin, and embrace the beauty of simple, everyday rituals.

Yes. We source our grass-fed tallow from trusted suppliers who value responsible farming practices. We also believe in honoring the whole animal by using a traditional ingredient that has been cherished for generations.
