When our founder, Shalley Carrell, sought a solution for her dry and sun-damaged skin, she didn’t need to look beyond her backyard. The water buffalo that graze at Carrell Farms have the most nutrient-dense grassfed tallow* on the planet—a perfect base for her line of nourishing skincare.

Never heard of tallow? This fat is very compatible to the biology of our own skin. That makes it easily absorbed and balancing for even the oiliest skin. It’s the perfect nourishing balm for skin and star of Buffalo Gal’s all-natural skincare line.

Water buffalo eat a variety of wild grasses and other vegetation, much of it with long roots that draw up minerals. This, coupled with heavy salivation and a slow rumen means unlike beef, bison, sheep and other species of livestock, their tallow contains a broader range of skin-healing nutrients, like Omega-3 and stearic acid. Read more about our tallow and its nutritional data here.

*Our animals are never administered antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, hormones, steroids, nor fed grain, other GMOs, nor pesticides. We administer a tetanus vaccine on bulls at castration, but only at times we need to do so.

Translation? Tallow makes your skin thrive.
