FAQs

Welcome to Angélique’s Apothecary, where we believe skincare should be pure, purposeful, and inspired by nature. Find answers to your questions about our handcrafted tallow creams, ingredients, and the passion that goes into every small batch.

About Our Products

What is tallow, and why do you use it in skincare?
Tallow is a nutrient-rich fat rendered from grass-fed beef suet. It is naturally compatible with human skin and contains vitamins A, D, E, and K that help nourish, protect, and restore balance to dry or sensitive skin.
Is your tallow ethically sourced?
Yes. We collaborate with local companies in Teller County, Colorado, where cattle are grass-fed and humanely raised. Every batch of tallow is locally rendered by hand to ensure purity and quality.
What makes tallow different from regular lotion or cream?
Unlike many commercial creams that rely on synthetic ingredients, tallow deeply moisturizes with fats and nutrients your skin naturally recognizes — no fillers, no unnecessary chemicals, just timeless nourishment from nature.

Ingredients & Scent

What oils do you blend with the tallow?
Our formulas are carefully blended with nourishing ingredients such as jojoba oil, rosehip oil, sea buckthorn, coconut oil, beeswax, and vitamin E. Each blend is created to support different skin needs while keeping ingredients simple and natural.
Are your products scented?
Some products are scented and some are unscented. Our scented creams use carefully selected essential oils, while our unscented options are perfect for babies, sensitive skin, and those who prefer a simple skincare routine.
Do you use preservatives?
No synthetic preservatives are needed. Our whipped tallow creams are anhydrous, meaning they contain no water. Vitamin E is added as a natural antioxidant to help maintain freshness.

Storage & Shelf Life

How long will my tallow cream last?
Our tallow creams can last up to 12 months when stored properly. Keep your jar in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Always use clean hands or a spatula when applying.
What if my cream melts or hardens?
That is completely normal. Tallow naturally softens in warm temperatures and becomes firmer in cooler temperatures. Changes in texture do not affect the quality of the product.

Use & Benefits

What skin issues can tallow help with?
Tallow deeply nourishes dry, chapped, and irritated skin. Many customers love it for dry patches, cracked heels, stretch marks, and everyday skin hydration.
How much should I use?
A little goes a long way. Start with a small amount, warm it between your fingertips, and gently apply to your skin.
