Canadian Organic Grass Fed, Grass Fed Tallow: The Secret Ingredient for the Best Natural Cosmetics

At Lipidology, we recognize the importance of sourcing the best quality beef tallow for all our product lines. Organic, grass fed/finished tallow is a rare commodity. While a growing number of farmers are recognizing the benefits of raising grass fed cattle, relatively few have achieved the seal of "Ontario Approved Organic Raised."  This seal indicates that the product has met rigorous organic standards set by the province of Ontario. 

We render our tallow from scratch using Organic Raised beef suet. Suet is the hard fat that grows around the loins and kidneys of cows. This fat is different than the trim fat found around cuts of steak. Suet is better than trim for making tallow for cosmetics for several reasons: suet has a high purity, it results is tallow that has a finer, creamier texture and it is richer in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and essential fatty acids, which are beneficial for the skin.

What are the benefits using Ontario Approved Organic Raised tallow? 

Organic Feed

Farmers exclusively provide organic feed to their livestock - in this context, they feed their cows grass, which is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

No Synthetic Additives

Farmers raise animals without the use of synthetic growth hormones or antibiotics.

Humane Treatment

Animals are raised in humane conditions with access to outdoor spaces and environments that support natural behaviors.

Sustainable Farming Practices 

Farms adhere to sustainable farming practices that promote healthy soil, biodiversity and ecological balance.

Traceability and Transparency

The seal approval process involves rigorous inspections and record-keeping, ensuring the traceability and transparency in the production process.
