Why Mama Tee’s Tallow is the Skin Care Staple You Didn’t Know You Needed
At Carson Valley Meats, we believe in using every part of the animal we raise—not just because it’s the respectful thing to do, but because some of the best things come from the most humble sources.
One of those hidden treasures? Tallow.
Mama Tee’s Tallow takes this tradition to the next level—blending old-fashioned wisdom with clean, modern ingredients to create skincare that’s nourishing, sustainable, and deeply rooted in ranch life.
What is Tallow?
Tallow is a type of rendered fat, traditionally made from beef suet—the fat that surrounds the kidneys and loins of a cow. When properly rendered, tallow becomes a rich, creamy balm that’s incredibly moisturizing and shelf-stable without preservatives.
For centuries, tallow was the gold standard for salves, balms, soaps, and candles. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K—nutrients your skin craves to stay healthy, strong, and glowing.
Why Mama Tee’s is Special
If you shopped our Ag & Artisan Holiday Faire last year, you know how great Mama Tee’s Tallow is!
Mama Tee’s Tallow starts with grass-fed tallow—which means it’s cleaner, higher in omega-3s, and more nourishing than conventional alternatives. Then Mama Tee adds organic jojoba oil (which mimics the skin’s natural oils) and pure essential oils for a light, natural scent that won’t overwhelm. Choose from these varieties:
- Lavender
- Magnesium for achy muscles and anxiety
- Rose Hip face cream
- Coffee Vanilla Bean
- Vanilla Bean infused
- Plain Whipped for sensitive skin
- Orange Clove
- Cedar Bergamot
- Zinc Oxide Sun Cream
- Lemongrass Rosemary
No fillers, no chemicals—just the good stuff.
What Can You Use Tallow For?
Tallow is one of the most versatile moisturizers out there. You can use it:
- As a daily face or body moisturizer
- On dry hands, heels, or elbows
- To soothe sunburns, bug bites, or wind-chapped skin
- As a baby-safe balm for diaper rash
- To tame flyaway hair or dry cuticles
- Even to help protect skin from the elements during ranch chores or high-desert hikes
Ranch Roots, Real Results
Living and working in the high desert of Nevada means dealing with sun, wind, dust, and dry air almost year-round. Tallow is one of the few things tough enough to stand up to our environment, yet gentle enough for the whole family.
Mama Tee’s Tallow is ranch-tested and ranch-approved. Whether you’re out branding calves, tending garden beds, or just chasing the kids around the yard, it’s the kind of skin care that works with your lifestyle, not against it.
Try It Yourself
Our customers rave about how soft and smooth their skin feels, even after just a few uses. And because tallow is so concentrated, a little goes a long way. That makes Mama Tee’s Tallow a smart, sustainable addition to your skincare routine.
