Bison Tallow: the Gold Standard in Skincare + Why Tallow & Hive Does It Best

Bison Tallow: the Gold Standard in Skincare + Why Tallow & Hive Does It Best

In the world of clean skincare, there's a rising star that’s been quietly used for centuries: bison tallow. At Tallow & Hive, we’re proud to harness this ancestral ingredient to create nourishing, small-batch balms and whipped tallow products that bring your skin back to its natural, thriving state. But what makes bison tallow so special and why is ours a cut above the rest?

Let’s dig into the benefits of bison tallow and why your skin deserves nothing less than the best.

 

What Is Bison Tallow?

Bison tallow is the rendered fat from pasture-raised American bison. Unlike conventional lotions loaded with synthetic ingredients, tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, and essential fatty acids that mirror the natural oils found in healthy human skin. It’s deeply moisturizing, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and incredibly healing for dry, sensitive, or damaged skin.

At Tallow & Hive, we use only 100% grass-fed/ grass-finished, pasture raised bison tallow, ethically sourced and blended with raw honey for added skin soothing properties.

 

Top Benefits of Bison Tallow for Skin

1. Deep, Lasting Moisture

Bison tallow is packed with omega fatty acids that penetrate deeply and nourish from within. Unlike water based moisturizers that evaporate quickly, our Bison Tallow Balm and Whip create a breathable barrier that locks in hydration.

2. Supports Skin Repair

Thanks to its natural content of vitamins A, D, E, and K, bison tallow helps support cellular regeneration and restore the skin barrier. It's ideal for those with eczema, psoriasis, cracked hands, or sun damaged skin.

3. Non-Toxic and Truly Clean

Our philosophy at Tallow & Hive is simple: if it’s not pure enough to eat, it doesn’t belong on your skin. Our tallow is self rendered, not bought in bulk or premade, and whipped fresh in small batches without preservatives, fillers, or synthetic fragrance.

4. Balances Skin Naturally

Unlike heavy creams or oils that can throw your skin off balance, bison tallow mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping it regulate its own oil production. This makes it a go to for both dry and oily skin types.
