How do I care for and store Tiff's Tallow?
Tallow is an anhydrous product meaning "without water" so remember to keep water out. Whenever opening & applying Tiff's Tallow always use clean dry hands. Also, our sugar scrubs may be tempting to place in the shower but please refrain from doing so to keep moisture out. Simply grab a bit of sugar scrub before hopping in the shower. Also, our whipped tallows can melt at high temperatures so please keep them away from a sunny window sill or heater vent. If your tallow melts you can keep it in the fridge for a harder consistency but it is fine to use even if it melts. It is meant to be kept at room temp.
Where do you source your tallow?
We source everything as locally as possible. We source all the tallow we possibly can from Sunnyfield Farm & Sunnyfield Meats in Eden, Utah. We occasionally source additionally needed tallow from Bingham's Custom Meats in the beautiful country mountain town of Morgan, Utah. We are committed to sourcing tallow from local USA farmers & ranchers in our area. We believe American farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our country & we fully intend to support them & create sustainable revenue sources for them through tallow to not just survive but thrive. Our jars are also bought in Utah and we sometimes use essential oils made in Utah.
Why are your tallow sugar scrubs in glass jars?
This is a deliberate choice due to essential oil properties. Essential oils can break down plastic and bring microplastics into the product so we choose not to put anything with essential oils in plastic.
How much whipped tallow is in your 4 oz. jars?
We squeeze as much as we possibly can into that little 4 oz. jar. We are usually right at 2 oz. of tallow due to the weight of whipped tallow being lighter. For our new 8 oz jars, we are right at about 4 oz of net weight, which is double the size of a 4 oz jar.
Do all of your tallow products contain essential oils?
No. We recognize that our herb-loving friends often don't want essential oils in their products so we have an herbal-based whipped tallow called "Garden Goods". It is released each year after the herbs have been organically grown and dried enough to infuse into the tallow. Garden Goods is currently seasonal and limited so please sign up for restock alerts if interested. Also, we have a "Squeaky-Clean" whipped tallow year-round that contains just two ingredients, without any added scent that is essential oil & herb-free.
How long does handmade tallow last?
If kept clean and dry, whipped tallow-based products are best within 6-9 months. Tallow balms are good for a very long time but due to possible contaminates from hands in jars over time, we say that it's best within one year.
Is Tallow good for everyone?
Nothing is for everyone but tallow is for most people. Please always perform a skin patch test to see how you respond to tallow before putting it on a large area.
Are your products scented heavily?
No. We don't want to interfere with other scents and most of our products contain essential oils which are very potent in tiny amounts. We like to say that we have very lightly-scented products.
What do I do if my order is missing or damaged?
We make every painstaking effort to ensure that our small-batch handmade tallow products (that take us about a week to make) are correctly packaged for transit. Once it leaves Tiff's Tallow, we are no longer in control. Therefore, we highly suggest that you insure your package. If something happens, you will be able to recoup your hard-earned money and repurchase your order. You can insure your package at checkout for just under $1.
What if I am unhappy with my product?
We will evaluate this on a case-by-case basis. Please understand that we work very hard to deliver a premium product to you but we also want you to be satisfied with your purchase. Please contact us if you have any questions.
How long is the turnaround time?
We try to fulfill every order within 5-7 business days. Oftentimes, we can get it out sooner. Please include your email and we will notify you if there are any unforeseen circumstances with processing your order.
