Fatworks Premium Grass Fed Beef Tallow, 14 oz

This might sound kind of weird, but I actually purchased this to use on my face as a moisturizer. I read not too long ago that beef tallow is an excellent moisturizer and, because it has properties that resemble your own skin's sebum, that it can repair and protect your skin as well. That being said, keep in mind that my review will be based on the purpose for which i bought this product (although I've also started eating it! :) I was a little reluctant to buy this because some of the reviews said that it had a very strong pungent odor. I did not find this to be the case. It definitely has a faint scent, but its no unpleasant or overpowering. It actually reminded me a little bit like shea butter, which some people also find unpleasant. It moisturizes beautifully! I'm not sure that it is any better than other fats and oils i've used before, namely coconut, argan and rosehip oil as well as shea butter. So i can't speak as to whether or not it will improve my skin, but I like it so far. I also find the taste to be much milder than I would have expected based on some of the reviews. I tasted it the first day I got it, and I've been putting some in my bone broth as well. I can't say that I taste a difference. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, since this is my first experience with tallow, however, for my purposes that works just fine! Finally, it arrived well packaged and in a timely fashion! I also find the cost to be very reasonable considering that this comes from grass fed animals and it is a rather large container. I ultimately decided to go with this one because skin care products made from tallow were much more expensive for a lot less. This has met all my expectations, now lets see if my skin improves! :)

I bought this to use as a moisturizer in Scottsdale AZ where even the water is dry! I decided to get some for my NC home as well. I cooked with it for the first time last night and it did an amazing job and made the steak fajitas so much more flavorful! I love this stuff and will continue to use on my skin and for cooking! I wouldn't bake with it unless it's a very savory dish but for cooking and skin, it's the best!

This arrived within 24 hours of ordering covered in lots of bubble wrap and I opened it right away with some difficulty. The lid was on very tightly. It took all of the He-man tricks to get it open including a vice-grip type bottle opener. Once opened, the tallow had a nice odor and color. I scooped out a little bit and put it in another container. It is a bit gritty / grainy as others have said but once it melts on your skin the gritty feeling goes away. I was in a hurry so I microwaved it; next time I will use a double boiler to melt the amount that I want. I mixed it with a smidgen of TJs sunflower oil (because that is all I have at the moment) and let it cool. I then added a few drops of camomile oil (it didn't really affect the smell) and mixed it up with a toothpick and applied it to my face and hands. As others have said, IT FEELS AMAZING!!! Later in the evening I got into the shower and was able to spread it even further (up my arms to my elbows) and down my neck and upper chest - so a little of this does go a long way. It was pretty much totally absorbed the next morning. I even put some on my lips before bed and when I awoke there was no dryness at all. My face is very soft (I am 58) and most of the lines are plumped out and hardly visible. This stuff with some tweaking will certainly replace all of the other beauty creams that I have paid a small fortune for that never work. I will also use this in my smoothies in the morning just to ensure that I get the benefits inside as well as outside. Will definitely be buying more way before the expiry date!

I have gotten this product several times directly from the funny folks at Fatworks or via Amazon, and have been impressed every time, but this time I do not understand the stamped items on the jar. Half the lot stamp is missing so I can’t ask about the jar I just received. The use by date is missing the Y. The code below that cannot be the use by date can it? It says 022820. Year 2020? Then on the jar bottom is a best by Feb 28 2025 date on a paper glue on sticker. This leaves me feeling unsettled, but that stickers probably correct. Well I guess I open her and see if the products usual great contents are inside. Fat works may want to check what’s stamped or glued to their jars.

Smells good, tastes good. Would definitely buy again

Works awesome for my skin and I don't feel overly oily. The smell is so light once on I don't smell it at all. I have no problem using it day or night. Perfect for winter wind protection.

The discourse regarding the use of animal- versus vegetable-based fats ping-pongs around health, cruelty, and simply "best outcome" effects of choosing any one of an increasing number of available options. For us, while we're not massive meat-eaters by any stretch of the imagination, there are simply some more tailored fats for cooking certain recipes, and Beef Tallow makes a lot of my recipes that much better, not to mention healthier if you take an unbiased look at the various research (which can have your head spinning if you're not careful). We still use Olive and Avocado Oils for many dishes, and of course salads, but this particular brand of Beef Tallow is a much-used addition to our kitchen for chili, some pasta dishes, certain pan-seared or cooked meat (can't have too much of a good thing!), and even a soup I recently made. While pricey (you can find beef tallow a LOT cheaper), we don't use so much for any given recipe that we run out quickly.

I bought this tallow in order to make a tallow balm for my toddler's eczema. My jar of tallow arrived very well packaged with bubble wrap secured tightly around the jar and plastic air pockets to fill the rest of the box. None of the tallow had leaked out, and the bottle was perfectly clean. The odor was mild but not offensive. I melted one cup of the tallow in a pan over the stove (did not boil), added 1/2 T. of extra virgin olive oil, and 5 drops of Plant Therapy's Silky Soft essential oil. I put this mixture into little jars to harden. Tallow does not "melt" into the skin as quickly as other solid oils at room temperature like coconut oil. However, it will eventually rub/melt into the skin after it is spread around enough. From blogs that I had read about tallow helping with eczema and saying how tallow is like a magical salve, I have not found that to be the case. My toddler still has his eczema, but if I apply this several times throughout the day, it is not as red like it would have been had I not used anything at all. I also used some of this tallow balm that I made on my face (I added a few more drops of essential oil). My face tends to break out if I put certain types of lotion or product on my face. I have not had any breakouts putting this tallow on my face! It seems thick and greasy when I put it on, but it never causes any issues with my face being any oilier or making the hair by my face oily. Awesome!

This products is really useful tolerated high temperature cooking. Well packaged in screw top glass jar.
