Simply Tallow Co.

✨New labels are here!✨

Same tallow you love, just with a new look.

I wanted our jars to better reflect the quality of what’s inside them so we upgraded our labels to something cleaner, easier to read, and best of all - waterproof.

Nothing about the formulas have changed so it’s still the same small-batch, carefully crafted tallow blends my family (and yours!) uses every day.

What do you think of the new look?!

We’re officially three days out! Come check everything out and get some goodies 🙌🏻

Since we have lots of new faces here, I thought I’d do a little introduction!

I’m Kayla — the face behind Simply Tallow 🤍

This photo below is my whole why.

Our family has spent the last several years moving toward a more low-toxin lifestyle. That shift didn’t happen overnight — it came after navigating some medical challenges with ourselves and our kids and realizing just how many everyday products were filled with ingredients we didn’t feel good about using anymore

We slowly started changing things in our home… food, cleaning products, and eventually skincare. Along the way we began leaning more into holistic and homeopathic approaches whenever possible.

I’ve always struggled with extremely dry skin and eczema. After trying countless products that never truly helped, I started researching traditional skincare and discovered tallow.

And then I completely fell down the rabbit hole…

What started as curiosity turned into over three years of researching, rendering, testing, and learning everything I could about tallow-based skincare. When I finally began using it consistently, my skin changed in a way nothing else had before.

That journey eventually became Simply Tallow.

This really is a family effort. My husband helps behind the scenes with the business side — budgeting, spreadsheets, and keeping my ideas organized — while the kids love helping pack, unpack, and label jars whenever they can.

Every jar is made in small batches using ethically sourced, high-quality ingredients — organic and third-party tested whenever possible. My goal has always been to create skincare that is simple, nourishing, and something you feel good about using on your family.

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. 🤍

I’d love to know — what started your journey toward cleaner or more natural products?

✨NEW PRODUCT DROP ☕✨

My Vanilla Bean Espresso Whipped Tallow Cream is officially ready — and this one is a little different than my other blends.

Instead of using essential oils, this batch was made using a slow infusion of real vanilla beans and espresso into the tallow itself. That means the scent comes directly from the ingredients — warm, subtle, and naturally sweet.

No synthetic fragrance.
No overpowering perfume smell.
Just real ingredients doing what they’re supposed to do.

The result is a light, whipped tallow cream that melts into your skin and leaves behind the faintest hint of vanilla and coffee.

Available in 1oz jars for $12 while this batch lasts!

✨ Why Red Light Therapy + Tallow Skincare Work So Well Together

There’s a reason red light therapy is showing up everywhere from wellness clinics to professional sports recovery rooms.

Red light therapy works by exposing the body to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths pe*****te the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria in our cells (the part responsible for producing cellular energy).

When mitochondria absorb this light, it can help cells produce more energy — which may support the body’s natural repair and recovery processes.

Because of this, red light therapy has been studied for a wide range of benefits, including:

• Supporting collagen production and healthier skin
• Reducing inflammation in the body
• Helping with muscle recovery after workouts
• Supporting joint comfort and mobility
• Encouraging circulation and blood flow
• Supporting wound healing and tissue repair
• Helping regulate sleep cycles by supporting natural circadian rhythms
• Improves overall cellular function and energy

It’s a pretty incredible example of how the body can respond to simple, natural inputs.

Now let’s talk about where tallow skincare fits into the picture.

When red light therapy is used for skin health, it helps stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. Supporting the skin barrier afterward can help maintain those benefits.

Grass-fed tallow is uniquely compatible with our skin because its fatty acid profile closely resembles the oils our own skin produces. It’s also naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K — nutrients that help support healthy skin function.

Tallow can help:
• Support the skin barrier
• Lock in hydration without clogging pores
• Calm irritation and inflammation
• Deliver bioavailable nutrients the skin recognizes and uses

So when you combine red light therapy with nutrient-dense skincare like tallow, you’re supporting the body in two complementary ways — encouraging repair from within while nourishing the skin from the outside.

If you’re local, you can experience red light therapy at Radiant Recovery Room, located inside The Gym Fitness Center in Flint.

And if you’re already stopping in for a session, you’ll also find my tallow skincare products available there to support your skin afterward.

Natural support, inside and out. ✨

✨ Let’s Start With The Basics ✨

What is tallow?
Tallow is purified beef fat that has been carefully rendered and turned into a nutrient- rich skincare product.

Why use it on your skin?
Tallow is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and has a fatty acid profile that is very similar to our own skin. That means it absorbs easily and deeply nourishes without the long list of synthetic ingredients found in many lotions.

At Simply Tallow Co., every jar is made in small batches using high-quality tallow and thoughtfully selected ingredients.

If you’re new here, feel free to say hi or ask questions in the comments - I’m always happy to help! 🤍

✨ Let’s talk about “drugstore lotion.” ✨

Most traditional lotions are mostly water.
And when you mix water + oil? You need preservatives. Stabilizers. Emulsifiers. Fragrance blends.

That’s how you end up with ingredient lists longer than a Walgreens receipt.

Water-based lotions can feel hydrating at first, but because they sit more on the surface and ev***rate quickly, many people find themselves reapplying frequently to maintain softness.

🌿 Tallow-based skincare works differently.

Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and has a fatty acid profile similar to our skin’s natural oils. Because it doesn’t contain water, it doesn’t require synthetic preservatives — and a small amount goes a long way.

Many people find that when they use nutrient-dense, oil-based moisturizers like tallow, they don’t need to reapply as often since it supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier rather than temporarily coating it.

Your skin is your largest organ — what you put on it matters.

So excited to share that I’ll be a vendor at the Indoor Flea Market at the Dom Polski Hall!

Whipped lavender vanilla was just jarred today 🤍

Made with grass-fed tallow and gently scented with organic lavender and vanilla essential oils for the softest, most nourishing moisture.

This one is my favorite for nighttime - shower, apply, sleep 💤

Cold + flu season is still running crazy, which means the v***r rubs are coming out of the cabinets. Let’s talk about what’s actually in them 👀

Most store-bought v***r rubs that we grew up with (we won’t name names) use petroleum as a base. Petroleum is derived from crude oil. According to the CDC, crude oil and its components can impact multiple body systems with repeated exposure — including the hematologic (Blood Forming), hepatic (Liver), immunologic (Immune System), neurologic (Nervous System), renal (Urinary System or Kidneys), and respiratory systems (from nose to the lungs) — and it’s also an environmental contaminant.

Now — this isn’t meant to be dramatic. You’re not going to collapse from using conventional v***r rub once. But when we know better, we do better. And I personally don’t love the idea of rubbing a crude-oil byproduct on my (or my children’s) chest night after night.

That’s why I created my Tallow V***r Rub.

Instead of petroleum, I use:
• 100% grass-fed beef tallow (no hormones, no antibiotics)
• Organic, unrefined coconut oil
• Organic white camphor essential oil
• Organic eucalyptus essential oil
• Organic tea tree essential oil

Tallow is incredibly similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, which means it absorbs beautifully instead of just sitting on top like a barrier. You still get that familiar, invigorating aroma you expect from a v***r rub — that deep breath, chest-opening, “ahhh” moment — just without the synthetic base.

It’s simple. It’s traditional. It’s recognizable ingredients you can actually pronounce.

If you’re already swapping candles, skincare, and pantry staples for more natural options, your medicine cabinet deserves the same thoughtfulness 🤍

(As always: for external use only. We’re not medical professionals, and this isn’t intended to diagnose, treat, or cure. If pregnant, nursing, or under medical care, consult your provider before using products containing essential oils.)

If you’ve already tried it, tell me — are you a chest + feet or chest only?
