been loving using Moose’s Tallow Eye Cream

I have absolutely been loving using Moose’s Tallow Eye Cream — it helps brighten my under eye and reduce dark circles, and it smells so good. The nutrient-rich beef tallow provides deep hydration, while the natural alternative to retin helps smooth the look of hyperpigmentation. The coffee-infused oil helps with puffiness, which I especially love in the morning.

Loving the eye awake cream! I’ve been using it for about a week now and am already starting to see a difference! The coffee smell is so lovely and I look forward to using it every day! Shipping was extremely fast as well. After ordering, it was shipped and delivered within a day and a half. Will definitely be ordering more products in the future!

10/10 recommend!

I have been using the Eye Awake for a week now and I honestly notice a difference and I absolutely love it! I’ve struggled with baggage under my eyes for as long as I can remember and it has already helped tremendously. If that doesn’t already sell you the smell will! It’s literally waking up to the smell of coffee. 10/10 recommend!

Absolutely incredible product!! Love everything I have and highly recommend to anyone! Leaves skin so soft and hydrated and dark circles gone.

Saving my skin

This stuff has been saving my skin this winter. First time using tallow products, actually. Expected it to smell weird and not absorb - was very pleasantly surprised!! I love the scent (I have the lemon one, and coffee eye cream) and I definitely plan to gift to friends in the future.

So glad I tried tallow

I was hesitant at first to try tallow, but I’m so glad I tried Moose’s Whipped Honeycomb Tallow. Every scent is amazing, it feels great on our skin and lips, and keeps our skin moisturized and feeling young. The coffee and egg eye cream is my favorite, and the kids love the lip tallow.

Key Ingredients

Coffee-Infused Oil Coffee-Infused OilOil we infuse with real coffee, blended with our egg yolk oil. Coffee is naturally rich in compounds that help wake up tired-looking skin, so we use it in our under-eye balm. It helps the delicate area look less puffy and more awake.
Beef Tallow Beef TallowRendered from high-quality beef suet, sourced locally when we can. It is naturally rich in skin-friendly fats and the vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because it mirrors your skin's own oils, it absorbs clean and holds moisture without feeling greasy. A simple, time-tested base with nothing synthetic.
Bakuchiol BakuchiolA gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol, from the babchi plant. It helps improve the look of fine lines and uneven tone, without the irritation retinol can bring. A good fit for sensitive skin and pregnancy- or nursing-conscious routines.
Sea Buckthorn Sea BuckthornA vivid orange oil pressed from sea buckthorn berries, naturally loaded with antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and vitamins. They help support hydration, softness, and skin vitality. A little brings a lot, so we use it in small amounts.
Beeswax BeeswaxMade naturally by honeybees, from local beekeepers in Lebanon and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. It has protected and conditioned skin for generations. In our balms it adds gentle structure and a light protective layer that seals in moisture, without feeling heavy.

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.
