About Us

The woman behind this small business is me, Kelsi, a fourth generation cowgirl! And my kitchen, in our home in Wyoming, is where the magic happens! Truly made with love. I am striving to simplify the products we use in our home and on our bodies. Handcrafting tallow for my family and now yours!

I am first, a Cowgirl. It pours from my heart and is shown in how I carry myself and also as a wife, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor, and business woman. It means I can do hard things, it means I don't give up on myself or others, it means I care deeply for my animals and my family, it means grit and grace are the pillars I stand on. I've been married to my best friend for ten years and we chase three little cowboys around trying to make as many memories as we can. My roots are in Oklahoma, Arizona and Wyoming. The only other thing you should know about me is that I pour all of myself into everything I do, including making Twisted Tallow.

What is Tallow?

Basically, tallow is rendered beef fat. Rendering is the process that melts raw fat, strains it (repeat 4x) and makes it into tallow. Our tallow is made with the “leaf fat” which is the highest quality and comes from the fat around the kidneys. This area of fat has the highest amounts of nutrients that grass fed beef fat has to offer. It provides a rich abundance of beneficial nutrients that skin needs to stay healthy, soft, and youthful.

 

Why use Tallow for Skin care?

Tallow is a very healthy fat. It contains a wide array of all the beneficial nutrients that our skin needs to repair itself. Many of the nutrients in grass fed tallow help to promote youthful skin by providing substances that our skin naturally loses as we age.

Tallow is extremely compatible with the oil that our skin naturally produces. It actually shares a similar biology. Our skin recognizes it and immediately puts it to use. That's one of the reasons why our skin is able to use tallow so effectively.

Tallow is not only great for repairing skin, but it also helps to prevent damage to skin. All of those skin friendly antioxidants and other nutrients keep skin healthy and strong.

Compared to plant-based oils, tallow provides skin with very intense moisture. You will recognize this immediately when you put it on vour skin.

The natural antimicrobial properties in tallow help to prevent acne and breakouts. Tallow also contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
