Tallow Hair Clay

Natural hold that conditions your hair, not just coats it.

Moose's Tallow makes a beef tallow hair clay that styles your hair while it conditions it. Clay gives a flexible, buildable hold, while tallow and egg yolk oil nourish hair and the scalp underneath. Choose a medium hold with a little shine or a strong matte finish. Every tin is handmade in small batches by our family in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

Whether you want flexible texture or stronger control without the greasy feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple answers about tallow hair clay, hold options, and how to use it.

What is tallow hair clay?

It is a natural styling clay built on beef tallow and egg yolk oil. Clay gives a flexible hold you can rework through the day, while the tallow conditions your hair and scalp.

It styles without drying your hair out.

What is the difference between medium and strong hold?

Medium hold shapes with a little natural shine and a soft, touchable finish. Strong hold is a matte, firmer style for slick backs and textured crops.

Pick by the look and how much control you want.

Is it hard to wash out?

No. It rinses out with normal washing and does not leave a stiff, waxy buildup.

Warm water and shampoo are all you need.

Will it feel greasy or stiff?

No. A small amount works through easily and sets to a natural finish, not crunchy or wet.

Start small, since it is concentrated.

How do I apply it?

Scoop a fingertip amount, rub it between your palms until it warms, then work it through towel-dry or dry hair.

Style, then rework or add a touch more as needed.

Does it smell like beef?

No. Clean-rendered tallow is neutral, so you only smell the scent we add, which stays subtle.

Why I Started Making Tallow Skincare

Hi, my name is Brian, though around here I don’t mind being called Moose.

I’ve learned most of what I know about skincare from the women in my life, especially my wife and our four daughters. Moose’s Tallow has truly been a family project from the beginning.

I started making tallow skincare after a serious health scare forced me to rethink everything I put in my body. Once I focused on real ingredients, another question came up: if what we eat matters that much… what about what we put on our skin?

With a busy home full of people I love, that question mattered a lot. When my daughters told me they were already using tallow for skincare, I decided to learn how to make it myself.

What started as a small project for my family eventually turned into something much bigger.
