We're Reclaiming Health for All Americans

The American Tallow Institute: Reclaiming Health Through Natural Means

The founders of the American Tallow Institute came together with a bold vision—to help Americans rediscover the time-honored benefits of tallow and free their homes, kitchens, and skincare from harmful seed oils and synthetic chemicals.

From these beginnings, the Institute has grown into the leading voice for tallow education, advocacy, and innovation. We are committed to helping individuals and families make informed choices about their health by replacing industrial ingredients with nature’s original solutions.

For decades, the rise of highly processed oils and chemical-laden products has contributed to declining health, from metabolic disorders to skin conditions. The American Tallow Institute stands at the forefront of a movement to reverse these trends—empowering consumers with knowledge, supporting ethical ranching practices, and promoting the use of pure, natural tallow in food, beauty, and wellness.

Our reach and impact continue to grow. Through research, public awareness, and partnerships with industry leaders, we are helping Americans take back their health one choice at a time. The future is clear: it’s time to return to what works.

Tallow, rendered from healthy, pasture-raised cattle, is packed with essential nutrients that support overall health. Unlike seed oils, which are highly processed and inflammatory, tallow contains:

  • Healthy Fats: A balanced ratio of saturated and monounsaturated fats that support heart health, brain function, and cellular integrity.
  • Vitamins A, D, E, and K: These fat-soluble vitamins are crucial for skin regeneration, immune support, and metabolic function.
  • Bioavailable Nutrients: Easily absorbed by the body, tallow promotes sustained energy, healthy skin, and a strong metabolism.

For centuries, tallow has been used as a natural moisturizer and healing agent. Unlike commercial lotions filled with synthetic preservatives, tallow-based skincare deeply nourishes and protects the skin. Benefits include:

  • Mimicking Human Skin Oils: Tallow is biocompatible with our skin’s natural structure, making it highly effective for hydration.
  • Soothing Inflammation: Rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, tallow helps calm conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
  • Free from Toxins: No parabens, artificial fragrances, or endocrine-disrupting chemicals—just pure, skin-loving nutrients.

The American Tallow Institute is more than an advocate—it’s a movement dedicated to reshaping the way we think about health and wellness. We work with ranchers, researchers, and industry leaders to promote ethical sourcing, sustainable practices, and greater awareness of tallow’s benefits. Through education, outreach, and partnerships, we are helping Americans reclaim their health, one natural choice at a time.

Join us in restoring tradition, supporting real health, and saying no to harmful chemicals and seed oils. The future is natural, and it starts with tallow.
