Frequently Asked Questions

Tallow is rendered beef fat/suet. Its fatty-acid profile is similar to human skin lipids, which work with the skin barrier instead of just sit on top like mainstream products. For more information about our tallow visit the “About Tallow” page on our website.

Beef tallow is commonly known to have a slight beefy smell. Holyfat contains no synthetic fragrance or any deodorizers. However, due to our low temperature rendering, HolyFat’s beef scent is very faint and fades quickly after application. We recommend the lavender-rose scent for anyone wanting to minimize the beefy smell - plus, its our favorite :)

HolyFat is best for dry, sensitive, or irritated/itchy skin. HolyFat works equally well on delicate skin (face/lips) and rough skin (hands/elbows). However, if your skin is oily or acne-prone, we recommend patch testing first.

There is never a bad time for HolyFat! We recommend it especially after showers, facial cleansing, or before and after going outside into a cold/dry environment.

Its easy! Just as you would use any skincare cream. Note that a little bit of HolyFat goes a long way, so be sparing with your application. We especially recommend HolyFat to be applied after showering or after cleansing your face.

HolyFat is a smooth, thick cream, and warmth will help it distribute the most evenly. It feels dense at first, then melts into your skin as it warms to your body temperature. To minimize the “balm” feeling, use it in small amounts, we promise it’s still effective.

Yes! Thats what we made it for! HolyFat has 5 or less all natural ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about reactions. That being said, especially with sensitive skin it is possible for reactions to occur. Patch-test if your skin is very reactive.
