The Lowdown
Honest answers, helpful tips, and a peek behind the scenes at Hathor’s Hacienda.
What Is Tallow?
Tallow, derived from beef suet, is a skin-loving powerhouse—and the foundation of many of our formulations.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer for your skin:
Biocompatible: Naturally rich in Omega 3, CLA, and Stearic Acid—nutrients your skin easily recognizes and absorbs for deep, lasting moisture.
Locks Moisture In: Creates a breathable, protective barrier—especially helpful for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin.
Soothes Irritation: Its gentle, anti-inflammatory properties may help calm skin conditions like eczema and redness.
Doesn’t Clog Pores: Non-comedogenic and suitable for most skin types.
Eco-Friendly: When sourced responsibly, tallow is a sustainable, nutrient-dense use of a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste.
At Hathor’s Hacienda, we proudly use grass-fed and finished beef suet from Chiricahua Pasture Raised Meats, a trusted family-owned farm in Cochise, Arizona.
How Our Tallow is Rendered
Our tallow begins with locally sourced suet from Chiricahua Pasture Raised Meats, a family-run farm in Cochise, Arizona that shares our commitment to quality and ethical practices.
We use a wet render method to slowly and gently extract the tallow. This process allows us to purify the fat multiple times, removing impurities while preserving its rich nutrient profile.
We choose the wet render method because, in our experience, it’s the best way to produce unscented, pure, and clean tallow. It avoids the scorched or gamey odor that can come from dry rendering, resulting in a beautifully neutral base that’s ideal for skincare.
Once fully purified, the tallow is kept on low heat to ensure that all water is removed, creating a shelf-stable product that resists mold and bacteria—naturally.
The end result? A clean, golden tallow that forms the nourishing foundation of many of our products—crafted with intention from start to finish.
Shipping & Summer Heat
Because many of our products are made with natural butters and oils, they’re sensitive to high temperatures. In Southern Arizona, the summer heat is no joke—so we pause shipping from mid-May through early fall for most melt-prone items.
We continue shipping year round:
