What is RBD tallow and why choose it for cosmetics/soap?
RBD means Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized – removing impurities, colour, and odour while preserving natural vitamins and fatty acids. It results in a clean, neutral, stable fat that's consistent for formulations without unwanted scents.

What is the blend made from?
100% Australian sourced: 65% beef tallow and 35% sheep tallow. This combination provides balanced hardness, moisturization, and nutrient profile.

How do I use it in cold process soap making?
Melt at 38-43°C and use 30-70% of total oils. Pair with coconut oil for lather or shea butter for extra conditioning. Always use a lye calculator (SAP ~195-200 mg KOH/g).

Is it suitable for sensitive, baby, or eczema-prone skin?
Yes! Its skin-identical fatty acids make it gentle and nourishing. Commonly used in healing salves and non-irritating soaps.

Does it have a beefy smell or go rancid easily?
No – fully deodorised for a neutral scent, and highly resistant to oxidation for excellent shelf life.

Can I use it for whipped body butters or balms?
Absolutely! Whip with essential oils or butters for luxurious, deeply hydrating skincare products.

Is this tallow grass-fed or organic?
Sourced from Australian livestock; ethically processed. Not certified organic, but high-quality and additive-free.

How should I store it?
In an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It solidifies below its melting point – simply warm to liquify.
