Prairie Butter is a versatile product that can be used for anything from a simple moisturizer to a therapeutic treatment. It is great for eczema, dermatitis, acne prone skin, dry feet, diaper rash, and aids as an anti-inflammatory ingredient for skin care. 

Tallow, the main ingredient in Prairie Butter, has been prized for skincare for centuries because it’s highly compatible with our skin and packed full of anti-aging nutrients.

Tallow is rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. These are all known for their abilities to  prevent water loss from the skin’s surface as it deeply penetrates the skin. 

  Tallow contains the abundant fat-soluble activators — vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K — which are necessary for skin health. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which has anti-inflammatory properties.

• Provides adequate moisture for skin and is compatible with our skin’s natural oils.

• Beef tallow is simply raw beef fat that has been cooked down or rendered to remove impurities and create a clean product. This rendering process also makes it shelf stable. I only use the fat around the organs of the animal and I do my own rendering.
•  It has a comedogenic rating of 2 which means it is non-comedogenic and has a moderately to low likelihood of clogging pores.
• Does not contain any  polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) 

• Tallow has a fat profile very similar to our own skin, so it will absorbs and nourishes the skin deeply.  Grass Fed Tallow is comprised of 50% saturated fat. Our skin's cell membranes are also composed of 50% saturated fat, which makes tallow a nourishing food for our skin. 

•  Since our weather changes from season to season, it may need some warming up in the palm of your hand before applying in the winter months. if you use makeup, allow the product to absorb (it may take a minute).

• Keep in mind, since tallow naturally boosts the skin’s cell turnover rate which can lead to a buildup of dead skin cells, it would be a good idea to exfoliate weekly or bi weekly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Shea Butter - refined
