Nicole's Story
A few years ago, I started a wellness journey to help with the constant fatigue and overall discomfort I was feeling—something I'm sure many of you can relate to. After several attempts going the conventional route, I decided to pursue a more mindful, holistic approach. I started reducing household toxins, which is when I discovered tallow as an alternative to mainstream skincare. I was amazed by how well it worked for my skin, transforming my routine into something both simple and highly effective.
Alongside my wellness journey, I chose to embrace a slower, more intentional lifestyle. With four kids and life's constant busyness, it's important to find ways to slow down and create moments of peace in my home. I focus on cooking healthy meals, gardening, and reading—simple practices that help me stay grounded and balanced.
What is Tallow Skincare?
Simply put, tallow is rendered beef fat.
Tallow has been a trusted natural skincare ingredient for centuries. It's not only compatible with the oils already found in our skin, but is packed with essential vitamins and fatty acids that nourish.
So, why is tallow gaining so much attention now? Savvy consumers are becoming more aware of what they are putting in and on their bodies. Most beauty products are loaded with chemicals to extend shelf life and cut costs. To avoid these potentially harmful, hormone-disrupting ingredients, people are turning to tallow. That's why we keep things simple and all-natural, with ingredients you can actually understand.
New to Tallow? Here's How to Start.
We offer both whipped and non-whipped tallow skincare. Whipped tallow is light and fluffy (think buttercream frosting) and melts easily into the skin. Non-whipped tallow has a rich, dense texture (think lip balm) and gives extra hydration for skin that needs a little more.
If you're looking to add tallow into your routine, start simple. Replace your current moisturizer with a tallow-based version (we love Clear Complexion!) and use a small amount on the face or body. A little goes a long way! All our formulas are suitable for every skin type.
Being Part of Something Bigger
Clara & Fritz is more than just skincare—it's about embracing a lifestyle focused on well-being. It's about creating a cleaner, safer world for ourselves and our families. By living more mindfully and making healthier choices, we can create a more balanced life. From the products we use to how we approach daily moments, it's about being intentional and living with purpose.
Making tallow-based skincare by hand and sharing it with you is a dream come true. I know how hard it can be to find natural alternatives that actually work for your body, and my hope is that my products help make it easier for you to embrace a toxin-free lifestyle.
