When it comes to sensitive or inflamed skin, many of us have tried everything—from expensive creams to harsh prescriptions—only to be left disappointed, dry, or even more irritated than before. That’s why more and more people are turning back to traditional, natural remedies like tallow—a time-honored skincare ingredient that’s gaining attention for all the right reasons.
At Cowboy & Co., we’re big believers in simplicity, nourishment, and the healing power of nature. Let’s talk about how grass-fed tallow can support skin conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea—without added fragrances, essential oils, or mystery chemicals.
Tallow & Acne: Balancing, Not Stripping
Tallow is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids that are incredibly similar to the oils your skin already produces. That means it doesn’t clog pores—instead, it supports your skin’s natural barrier and brings balance to overactive oil production.
While most acne products strip and dry the skin, tallow works differently: it feeds your skin instead of fighting it.
We also tailor our blends to acne-prone skin by adding oils like:
-
Jojoba Oil – mimics sebum, helping to regulate oil production
-
Raspberry Seed Oil – anti-inflammatory and rich in linoleic acid
-
Herbal Infusions – like lavender, chamomile, and calendula, known for their soothing, antibacterial properties
And remember, we’re 100% essential oil free, because many people find that EOs trigger breakouts or irritation.
Tallow & Eczema: Deep Nourishment for Dry, Cracked Skin
If you’ve dealt with eczema, you know how uncomfortable and painful it can be. What your skin is often craving is intense hydration and skin barrier support—and that’s where tallow shines.
Tallow is occlusive, meaning it helps lock in moisture without suffocating the skin. And since we use only grass-fed, grass-finished tallow and blend it with oils like:
-
Baobab Oil – rich in omega-3s and deeply healing
-
Apricot Kernel Oil – light, soothing, and anti-inflammatory
-
Chamomile and Rose – gentle botanicals for sensitive skin
Our blends offer long-lasting comfort, without flare-up triggers like alcohol or synthetic fragrance.
Tallow & Rosacea: Soothing Inflammation, Gently
Rosacea is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, and many commercial products only make it worse. With tallow, you’re giving your skin real nourishment without any aggressive additives.
Our rose or lavender-infused blends are favorites among rosacea customers, since they calm redness, restore balance, and promote healing over time. Every batch is infused slowly with real botanicals (no extracts or synthetics), giving your skin the gentle love it deserves.
Safe for the Whole Family
We never include essential oils, making our tallow blends safe for kids, nursing mamas, and ultra-sensitive skin. Because true skincare shouldn’t smell like perfume—and your skin shouldn’t have to fight through complicated labels to feel nourished.
