Our Story
Bare Roots was founded in 2023 by a mama seeking relief for her children's eczema and sensitive skin. Living in Colorado, where dry, cold weather made finding deeply moisturizing products challenging, fueled her search even more. After discovering the incredible benefits of tallow, she set out to create the perfect formulations, carefully blending it with handpicked herbs for the whole family to enjoy.

Quality
Quality is our top priority. Our tallow is sourced from a local, small regenerative ranch, where highland cattle are grass-fed and finished. We have a direct relationship with the ranchers, ensuring our tallow is not purchased online or in bulk. Additionally, we source all herbs from our local apothecary and farms to support small businesses and promote sustainable practices.
Our formulations have evolved from using essential oils to incorporating herbs. During the dry rendering process, we add the herbs, allowing the tallow to slowly absorb their benefits before straining.
All our products incorporate jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, and is known for its proven benefits, including its ability to deeply hydrate, balance oil production, and soothe dry or irritated skin. It absorbs quickly, helping to restore skin's natural moisture balance without clogging pores.

Consistency
In colder months, you may notice that your tallow becomes quite firm. This is because we avoid using preservatives or additives in our products. Simply scoop the desired amount into your palms, rub together and it will soften and melt, making it easy to apply smoothly.

Our Process
The entire process of creating whipped tallow takes about 3-4 days for each batch. Rendering tallow is both an art and a labor of love, which is why we never rush any step to ensure the final product retains its full nutrient density.
After much trial and error, we've determined that dry rendering is the optimal method for skincare, as it better preserves tallow's natural properties. In contrast, wet rendering uses salt and water to "remove impurities" and eliminate the beefy odor, resulting in a white, odorless product. However, this process changes the fatty acid profile, diminishes the nutrient content and leaves a possibility of mold contamination.
FAQs
What is Tallow?
Tallow is a type of rendered beef fat, typically sourced from the suet around the kidneys. Rich in nutrients, tallow is highly beneficial for skincare and topical use. It closely resembles the natural composition of our skin, helping to protect and strengthen our skin’s barrier. Since tallow contains fats and lipids like those found in healthy human skin, it is easily absorbed into the skin, nourishing it deeply.
