The problem
Most tallow is a story. Ours is a lab report.
Most tallow on the market, including brands that call themselves grass-fed, is co-manufactured: same facility, different label, no source verification. "Clean", "natural" and "pure" have no legal definition in skincare, so nobody checks.
0
Heavy metals, PFAS and glyphosate detected in our tallow. Toxins concentrate in fat, so we tested the fat itself, not just the meat.
0×
The Omega-7 of conventional and other grass-fed tallow. Omega-7 is a fatty acid your own skin already produces.
0%
Less polyunsaturated fat than grain-fed tallow. That is the part that oxidises and turns rancid in the jar.
Why it works
Built like your skin
Your skin already produces its own oil, sebum. Plainview tallow is roughly 55% saturated fat, a profile that mirrors sebum by structure rather than by formulation. Your skin reads it as familiar, not foreign.
Match
Stearic, palmitic and oleic acids in ratios your skin already uses. It melts the moment it touches you instead of sitting on top waiting to absorb.
Nourish
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, delivered in the one carrier built to absorb them. Our base tested at +77% vitamin D versus other tallow.
Protect
Stearic acid, one of the fats your barrier is built from, measured 26% higher than other grass-fed tallow. Firm by nature, so no wax or hardeners are added.

Independent analysis
What the lab found
We send the base ingredient, the tallow itself, to an independent lab and publish what comes back. Every tallow brand says grass-fed. We are the one with the numbers.
Omega-7
2× other tallow
Palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid your skin already produces.
Stearic acid
+26% vs grass-fed
Barrier structure and natural firmness. +53% versus grain-fed.
Polyunsaturated fat
−54% vs grain-fed
The part that oxidises. Less of it means a cleaner scent and longer shelf life without preservatives.
Vitamin D
+77%
Fat-soluble, carried in the fat where skin can use it.
Omega 6:3 balance
1.87 : 1
Conventional grain-fed tallow commonly runs 7:1 or higher.
Heavy metals, PFAS, glyphosate
Undetected
Tested on the fat itself, where lipophilic contaminants concentrate.

What to expect
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Your first 30 days
A little goes a long way. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingers and press into clean, slightly damp skin.
Instant softness
The balm melts on contact. Tightness eases and dry patches feel comfortable, with no greasy film once it settles.
Smoother texture
Rough spots on hands, elbows and cheeks start to feel consistently smooth as skin holds onto moisture longer.
Calmer feel
Skin that used to react to synthetic creams settles into a routine of one simple, recognisable ingredient.
Barrier supported
Skin feels resilient through the day and needs less product. Most customers find a jar lasts around two months.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Most tallow skincare is made from commodity fat bought by the drum and private-labelled. Ours is rendered from our own sprout-finished cattle on our own ranch in WaKeeney, Kansas, and the base tallow is tested by an independent lab. The results are published: 2× the omega-7, 26% more stearic acid than other grass-fed tallow, 54% less polyunsaturated fat than grain-fed, and heavy metals, PFAS and glyphosate undetected.
A pea-sized amount is enough for the face. Because roughly 55% of the fat profile mirrors your skin's own sebum, it melts in quickly rather than sitting on the surface. Customers regularly describe it as "not greasy or oily" and say a jar lasts around two months.
The balm contains no water, seed oils, emulsifiers, preservatives, silicones or synthetic fragrance. If your skin reacts to essential oils, choose Original (fully unscented) or Chamomile, our gentlest formula. As with any new product, patch test first. We make no medical claims and this is not a treatment for any condition.
Bergamot + Eucalyptus is fresh and green with a soft cedarwood base. Lemongrass + Citrus is bright and clean. Honey + Vanilla is warm and gently sweet with raw honey and sea buckthorn. Lavender + Frankincense is calming and lightly earthy. Chamomile is soft and mild for the most sensitive skin. Original has no added scent at all.
The 4oz whipped body balm is our everyday all-over jar for hands, body and face. The 2oz size is the same formula in a travel-friendly jar. Honey + Vanilla, Lavender + Frankincense and Chamomile come as 2oz face balms with a slightly richer texture designed for the face.
Choose Subscribe & Save and a fresh jar ships every month at 25% off with free shipping. You can pause, skip, swap scents or cancel any time from your account. No contracts and no minimum number of orders.
Keep the lid on and store at room temperature away from direct sun. Because our tallow is low in polyunsaturated fat, the part that oxidises, a jar keeps for months in a warm bathroom without turning. In hot weather it may soften; that is normal and it firms back up when cooled.
Yes. Same ranch, same cattle, same verified ingredient story. Plainview Skin is built on the same sprout-finished system, the same lab verification and the same commitment to published proof that defines Plainview Beef.
Ready when you are
Tallow you can actually verify.
Every tallow brand tells you it is grass-fed. We are the one that tested it and published the results. Same ranch, same cattle, one honest jar.
