At Field & Sage, every ingredient has a reason. Tallow — rendered from grass-fed beef fat — is at the heart of everything we make. It might sound unconventional, but once you understand what it does for your skin, it makes complete sense.
It Speaks Your Skin's Language
Human skin is largely made up of fatty acids — oleic, palmitic, and stearic acid among them. Grass-fed tallow contains these same fatty acids in remarkably similar ratios. That means your skin recognizes it, absorbs it readily, and doesn't have to work to process it. No barrier disruption. No residue. Just deep, effective nourishment.
Grass-Fed Makes All the Difference
Not all tallow is created equal. We source exclusively from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. Grass-fed tallow is richer in fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — that support skin cell renewal, barrier repair, and natural radiance. Conventionally raised tallow simply doesn't compare.
Clean by Nature
Our formulations are free from synthetic emulsifiers, petroleum derivatives, and artificial preservatives. Tallow is inherently stable — it doesn't require a long list of additives to hold together or stay fresh. What you get is a short, honest ingredient list that works.
Centuries of Use, Rediscovered
Before the rise of synthetic skincare in the 20th century, tallow-based balms and salves were a staple in households everywhere. We're not inventing something new — we're returning to something that worked, and refining it with intention.
From Our Peppermint Lip Balm to Our Face and Body Whip
Every Field & Sage product — from our Peppermint Infused Lip Balm to our Tallow Face and Body Whip — is built on this foundation. Simple, effective, and made with ingredients you can actually pronounce.
That's why we use tallow. And once you try it, we think you'll understand why.
