FAQ

Is tallow really good for skin?

 

Yes — and it may be the most skin-compatible moisturizer that exists. Tallow's fatty acid profile closely mirrors your skin's natural sebum, which means it absorbs easily without clogging pores. It's also rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K that support skin health at a cellular level.

 

Will it smell?

 

Our whipped tallow has a very light, natural scent from the ingredients themselves. It's not odorless, but it's subtle and fades quickly after application. We don't add fragrance of any kind.

 

Is it non-comedogenic? Will it clog my pores?

 

Tallow is non-comedogenic. Unlike many plant oils, it doesn't oxidize easily and is unlikely to clog pores. Many customers with acne-prone skin report improvements after switching to Alovi.

 

Where is the tallow sourced?

 

We source exclusively from small farms raising grass-fed, grass-finished cattle. The animals are pasture-raised from birth to finish — no feedlots, no grain finishing.

 

Can I use it on my face?

 

Absolutely. Many customers use it as their primary face moisturizer. Start with a small amount — a little goes a long way.

 

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

 

Yes. All four ingredients are well-tolerated by sensitive skin. Calendula and manuka honey are both known for their calming, anti-inflammatory properties. If you have a known allergy to any of our ingredients, please consult your doctor before use.

 

How long does a jar last?

 

A 2oz jar typically lasts 4–6 weeks with daily use on face and neck. The 4oz jar lasts most customers 2–3 months.

 

Is Alovi tested on animals?

 

Never. We are cruelty-free.
