Why tallow?

One traditional ingredient. Two simple uses.

Beef tallow is a traditional rendered fat with two very different strengths: it performs well as a rich cooking fat and, when deodorised, works as a versatile emollient ingredient in skincare formulations.

Simple Herd makes choosing easy: use non-deodorised tallow for cooking, or deodorised tallow when formulating skincare. Each finish is prepared for its intended use while keeping the ingredient simple and practical.

Non-deodorised

Why cook with beef tallow?

Beef tallow is a traditional cooking fat that works especially well for frying, roasting, sautéing and savoury baking. Compared with many liquid vegetable oils, tallow contains a lower proportion of polyunsaturated fats and a higher proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fats, which makes it relatively resistant to oxidation during high-heat cooking.

Benefits for cooking
  • Well suited to frying, roasting, sautéing and selected savoury baking.
  • Handles high cooking temperatures well when used appropriately.
  • Adds richness and can help create crisp, golden roasted or fried foods.
  • Non-deodorised tallow keeps its natural savoury character.
  • A traditional alternative to liquid cooking oils for recipes that benefit from a solid fat.

Different fats have different nutritional profiles, so tallow is not automatically “healthier” than every cooking oil. The best choice depends on the recipe, cooking method and your overall diet.

How to use it
Fry Use as a cooking fat for frying.
Roast Coat potatoes or vegetables before roasting.
Sauté Use in place of another cooking fat.
Bake Suitable for selected savoury baking applications.
Deodorised

Why use beef tallow for skincare?

Deodorised beef tallow is a rich, naturally solid emollient that can add body, softness and a protective feel to skincare formulations. Its reduced natural aroma also makes it easier to combine with other cosmetic ingredients, fragrances and essential oils.

Benefits for skincare formulations
  • Contains fatty acids including oleic, stearic and palmitic acids.
  • Helps soften dry-feeling skin and reduce moisture loss by forming an emollient layer.
  • Adds structure and richness to balms, body butters and other water-free products.
  • Can be used as part of the oil phase in suitable creams, soaps and other formulations.
  • Deodorised for a more neutral starting point when formulating.
How to use it
Body butters Blend into rich water-free body formulations.
Balms Use as part of simple balm formulations.
Soap Incorporate into suitable soap formulations.
Creams Use as an oil-phase ingredient in appropriate formulations.

Always use the product intended for your application and follow the product label. For topical formulations, appropriate formulation practices and testing still apply.
