The Eat My Face Origin Story

Before Eat My Face, I built a food company called Fat Snax that sold millions of dollars of keto cookies. The entire idea behind that brand was simple: people deserve better ingredients than the ultra-processed junk dominating grocery shelves. We were obsessing over what we ate - yet the products sitting in our bathroom were still packed with industrial seed oils, synthetic fragrances, and chemicals we couldn't pronounce. That's when the idea hit: "If you wouldn't eat it, don't wear it." Your skin is your body's largest organ. What you put on it gets absorbed. So skincare should meet the same standard as food. We started experimenting and the results were incredible. Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely matches human skin, allowing it to absorb deeply and deliver nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K without synthetic additives. Friends started asking for it. Then their friends. What began as a simple kitchen experiment quickly turned into Eat My Face — a skincare brand built on one principle: Skincare should be so clean you could eat it.

Why Beef Tallow?

Why Beef Tallow?

Long before modern skincare companies filled bottles with synthetic chemicals and industrial seed oils, people cared for their skin using simple, natural fats. One of the most effective was grass-fed beef tallow. Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely matches the oils naturally produced by human skin. That means it absorbs easily, strengthens the skin barrier, and delivers nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K exactly where your skin needs them. Modern skincare moved away from these traditional ingredients because industrial oils are cheaper to manufacture. We went the opposite direction. Every Eat My Face product starts with grass-fed beef tallow and only a handful of carefully chosen ingredients. No seed oils. No synthetic fragrances. No complicated chemical formulas. Just nutrient-dense ingredients your skin actually understands. Sourced and made in America. Our tallow comes from grass-fed cattle and is gently rendered — never bleached, never deodorized — so it keeps the nutrients and skin-loving fats nature put there in the first place. Every batch is produced in small-batch, USDA-registered facilities right here in the USA — including our SQF Level 3 certified plant in Eugene, Oregon. No mystery overseas factory, no chemical stripping. Just clean tallow, made the way your skin actually wants it.

Why Modern Skincare Went Wrong

Walk down any skincare aisle and you’ll see hundreds of products promising perfect skin. Flip the bottle over, and the ingredient list often reads like a chemistry experiment.

Many modern skincare products rely on industrial seed oils, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and stabilizers designed to maximize shelf life and manufacturing efficiency.

But skin doesn’t recognize most of these ingredients.

For thousands of years, humans cared for their skin with simple, nutrient-dense fats that worked with the body instead of against it.

One of the most powerful was beef tallow.

Tallow contains fatty acids that closely resemble the lipids naturally found in human skin, which helps it absorb easily and support the skin barrier. It also contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which play important roles in skin health and repair. (Heymann, Manders, Green, & Sommer)

In other words, your skin already understands it.

At Eat My Face, we went back to this ancestral ingredient and built our formulas around it — combining grass-fed beef tallow, mineral sun protection, and a handful of carefully selected natural ingredients.

No seed oils.
No synthetic fragrances.
No complicated chemical formulas.

Just skincare your body recognizes.

Is Beef Tallow Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes! Beef tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. It’s great for sensitive, dry, mature, and even acne-prone skin, as it helps balance oil production and repair the skin barrier.

Does Beef Tallow Have to be Refrigerated?

No, beef tallow is naturally shelf-stable due to its high saturated fat content. Sunlight or heat may soften the product but does not alter it's effectiveness. If exposed to sunlight or heat, simply allow to cool at room temperature. 

Does Beef Tallow Smell Like Beef?

Properly rendered, high-quality beef tallow has little to no scent. Many skincare products, like those from Eat My Face, also include natural essential oils or light vanilla for a pleasant aroma.

Can I Use Tallow On My Baby's Skin?

Absolutely! Beef tallow is incredibly gentle and nourishing, making it ideal for Baby Momma Cream, which soothes diaper rash, hydrates delicate skin, and helps prevent stretch marks for moms.
