Our Ingredients & Process — Organic Tallow, Pure Oils, Nothing Else | SŌZŌ Tallow Works

    Ingredients & Process

    Three ingredients. Nothing to hide.

    Most skincare ingredient lists read like a chemistry exam. Ours fits on a single line — exactly what’s in every tin, and what we’ll never put in.

    The Garden whipped tallow moisturizer — three pure ingredients

    What’s Inside

    Just what your skin needs.

    • The base of every formula

      Organic Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

      Sourced from organic, grass-fed cattle raised without hormones or antibiotics. Slowly rendered and triple-filtered for purity. Naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and palmitoleic acid — all essential for skin repair and barrier health.

    • The carrier oil

      Organic Jojoba Oil

      Cold-pressed from the seeds of the jojoba plant. Technically a liquid wax — its molecular structure mimics human sebum even more closely than tallow alone. Helps balance the formula, improve absorption, and extend shelf life naturally.

    • The fragrance

      100% Pure Essential Oils

      We never use fragrance oils, parfum, or synthetic scents. Each scented variety is made with therapeutic-grade, pure essential oils — lavender, eucalyptus, frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, peppermint, and others. Our Unscented variety contains zero essential oils for the most sensitive skin.

    Our Handcrafting Process

    From kitchen table to your countertop.

    • 01

      Source

      We source organic, grass-fed beef tallow from suppliers we trust. Quality of input is everything — grass-fed tallow is dramatically more nutrient-dense than conventional.

    • 02

      Render & Filter

      Tallow is slowly rendered at low temperature to preserve its vitamins and triple-filtered until it's pure, neutral, and a beautiful soft cream color.

    • 03

      Whip

      Combined with organic jojoba oil and slowly whipped until light, fluffy, and luxurious — never grainy or heavy.

    • 04

      Scent (Or Don't)

      100% pure essential oils — never fragrance oils — added in small, deliberate amounts. Or left completely unscented for the most sensitive skin.

    • 05

      Hand-Pour

      Each 2oz tin is filled by hand in our Harrison, Tennessee workshop, sealed, labeled, and prayed over before it ships.

    What You’ll Never Find

    What we won’t put in your skincare.

    • Water (the #1 ingredient in most lotions)
    • Synthetic preservatives (parabens, phenoxyethanol)
    • Fragrance oils, parfum, synthetic scent
    • Mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin
    • Polyethylene glycols (PEGs)
    • Sulfates, silicones, dimethicones
    • Synthetic dyes or colorants
    • Fillers, emulsifiers, or stabilizers

    Why It Matters

    Your skin is your largest organ.

    What you put on it ends up in you. We make skincare we’d put on our own children, our parents, and ourselves.

    That’s why our ingredient list is short. That’s why we make it ourselves. And that’s why we’re happy to publish every ingredient we use — and every one we don’t.
