Whipped Tallow Body Butter
Our Story
At Cattle Creek Mercantile, everything began on our family farm in Ray, Ohio. When our young son’s eczema was so severe that every lotion and prescription failed him, we turned to tallow from our own grass-fed cows. Overnight, his skin began to heal. That moment showed us the power of this simple ingredient and inspired us to share it with others who need relief.
Simple, Whole-Body Care
Our Whipped Tallow Body Butter is made with only a few ingredients:
·Grass-fed beef tallow
·Extra virgin olive oil
·Essential oils (or unscented for ultra-sensitive skin)
That’s it—no fillers, no synthetics, no unnecessary chemicals. Just a pure, nutrient-rich formula that’s gentle enough for your face, strong enough for stubborn dry patches, and safe for use all over your body.
Why Tallow?
Tallow is an animal-based fat, and since humans are animals too, our skin naturally recognizes and absorbs its nutrients. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids, it delivers deep hydration and supports skin health in ways plant oils often can’t.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the body butter smell like beef?
No. Our tallow is carefully rendered and purified, so it does not smell like beef. We add essential oils for a light, natural scent—or keep it completely unscented for ultra-sensitive skin.
2. Is this safe for eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea?
Yes. Our body butter was created to help our son’s eczema when nothing else worked, and it’s now trusted by thousands with all types of sensitive skin conditions. Tallow is uniquely compatible with human skin, delivering nutrients that calm irritation, reduce itchiness, and help restore balance.
3. Can I use this on my face?
Absolutely. Our simple, chemical-free formula is safe for use anywhere on the body—including the face. Many customers use it as an all-over moisturizer, from hands and feet to facial dry patches.
4. Why do you only use suet tallow instead of fat trimmings?
We only use suet tallow, which comes from around the kidneys, because it’s the purest and most nutrient-rich fat. Unlike general fat trimmings, suet is clean, mild, and loaded with vitamins and fatty acids that benefit the skin. This ensures a smoother, more effective body butter.
5. Will it feel greasy on my skin?
Tallow is deeply moisturizing and richer than most lotions. If it feels greasy after applying, that usually means you’ve used too much—a little goes a long way. Start with a very small amount, and you’ll find it absorbs quickly, leaving your skin soft, supple, and nourished without any heavy residue.
6. How much should I use at a time?
A little goes a long way. Start with a pea-sized amount for hands or face, or a nickel-sized scoop for arms and legs. Because it’s concentrated, each jar lasts much longer than a typical lotion.
