This tallow comes from a farm in Eastern Pennsylvania, where the cows spend the whole summer grazing and are completely grass fed and finished. Dozens and dozens of customers come back and repurchase this tallow, it is incredible! On the Esh farm, the tallow is rendered 4 times, and during the last render herbs are added for skin benefits and scent. Zero essential oils are used. Tallow works best when your skin is hydrated first, whether your skin is damp from water, or using a hydrosol or toner
