About Twisted Tallow
Wild-hearted skincare, straight from the hands of a cowgirl.
Hey there—I’m Kelsi, the maker, mama, wife, and 4th-generation cowgirl behind Twisted Tallow. If you're picturing a woman in boots with a baby on one hip and a spatula in the other, stirring up tallow in a Wyoming kitchen between feed runs and wrestling three little cowboys—you’re not far off.
Twisted Tallow was born out of my desire to simplify. To know exactly what was going on my family’s skin, and now—yours too. No fillers. No fluff. Just small-batch, nutrient-rich, grass-fed tallow, rendered with care and intention, right here in our home. Made with love, poured with purpose.
"I am first, a Cowgirl. It pours from my heart and shows up in everything I do—as a wife, a mother, a neighbor, a businesswoman. Being a cowgirl means grit and grace, it means doing hard things, and never giving up. It means loving fiercely and working harder. I bring all of that into every jar of Twisted Tallow."
— Kelsi
Why Twisted Tallow?
Because your skin deserves better than chemical junk and watered-down promises.
Tallow is nature’s original skincare—rich in nutrients, incredibly healing, and deeply moisturizing. It’s safe enough for newborn babies and strong enough for weather-worn cowboys. From dry, bumpy skin to sun-kissed cheeks, pregnant bellies to tattooed arms, Twisted Tallow is the one-jar wonder your skin has been missing.
But here's the truth: not all tallow is created equal.
What makes Twisted Tallow different?
-
Leaf fat only: We use the most nutrient-dense fat (from around the kidneys) for maximum benefit.
-
Triple-rendered & strained: To remove all impurities and odors—leaving only silky, golden goodness.
-
No water added: So there's no risk of mold, and every jar lasts longer.
-
Fresh & small-batch: We make our balms just a week or two before they ship—so it’s as fresh as it gets.
-
Only 3 ingredients: Grass-fed tallow, organic olive oil, and essential oils. That’s it. Clean, powerful, and real.
This is skincare made with hands that know hard work and hearts full of intention. From my family to yours.
What Even Is Tallow?
Tallow is rendered beef fat—specifically the leaf fat, which is the purest and most nutrient-rich. It's packed with skin-loving vitamins and fatty acids that actually match the biology of your skin. That’s why it works so well—your body recognizes it and knows exactly what to do with it.
-
Deeply moisturizing (without feeling greasy)
-
Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory
-
Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K
-
Skin-identical fats that repair, restore, and protect
Twisted Tallow isn’t just skincare—it’s heritage in a jar. It's what happens when tradition, intention, and love come together in one little pot of gold. Whether you're out riding fences or chasing littles in the front yard, your skin deserves to be cared for with something real.
Thanks for being here.
