skindēp is crafted with carefully rendered, 100% grass-fed beef tallow and a thoughtfully balanced blend of pure essential oils (sweet orange peel oil, lavender, cedar wood, cypress seeds, patchouli, ylang ylang). Our formula is free from fillers, synthetic additives, and unnecessary ingredients.

Tallow is a natural fat derived from beef that has been gently rendered to create a clean, stable ingredient. In skincare, tallow has a long tradition of use as a deeply moisturizing base due to its compatibility with the skin and its ability to help support softness and hydration.

Tallow has been used for centuries in traditional skincare. Its natural composition closely resembles the skin’s own lipids, making it an effective and deeply nourishing base for hydration and barrier support.
