Mom's Tallow makes grass-fed tallow skincare and kitchen tallow in small batches in New Jersey. Short ingredient lists, no synthetic fillers, and creams made to feel soft and smell like very little. Here's who we are and how we make it.
A note from our founder
I wanted to take a moment to personally introduce myself and share the story behind Mom's Tallow, a brand that is not just a business to me but a reflection of my life's work and passion.
My name is Michael Bolos, and I have spent over a decade in the skincare and nutraceutical industry, speaking with women daily and listening to their needs, concerns and wishes when it comes to skincare. Running a customer service and sales team for years taught me what people really want: products that nourish and comfort the skin without the synthetic fillers and unnecessary additives that have become the norm in modern skincare.
Like many of you, I got frustrated with the endless lists of unpronounceable ingredients in mainstream products. I knew there had to be a simpler way.
So I started researching and formulating. After years of study, testing and refinement, I kept coming back to one ingredient that had been used for generations but was often overlooked: grass-fed beef tallow.
Why tallow? It's a rich, natural fat made up of fatty acids similar to the ones found in skin's own oils. It melts at body temperature, sinks in, and leaves skin feeling soft, moisturized and cared for. It's the foundation of the skincare I believe in and personally formulate.
I didn't create Mom's Tallow just as a business. I created it to make skincare I truly believe in and use on myself and my own family. So, from my hands to yours, thank you for being here.
If you ever have questions, feedback or just want to say hello, my team and I are always here at our contact page. Welcome to the Mom's Tallow family.
How we make it
- Small batches in New Jersey. Every jar, bottle and balm is made in small batches, so creams are fresh and each batch gets checked by hand.
- Grass-fed tallow. We start with grass-fed beef tallow, rendered and filtered so the finished cream smells like very little. (Wondering about smell? Read Does Tallow Skincare Smell?)
- Ingredients you can read. Tallow comes first, with a few supporting oils and butters chosen for feel. Full ingredient lists are on every product page.
- Some made to order. Favorites like our lip balm and Radiance Revival balm are made to order, so they're always fresh.
- Kitchen tallow too. Our Grass-Fed Beef Tallow for cooking comes in Original, Roasted Garlic and Italian Black Truffle.
