Looking for answers to common questions first? Read the FAQ — most orders, shipping, and ingredient questions are answered there.
What people email us about
The most common message we get is some version of "will this work for my skin?" Usually the answer depends on which product you're looking at and how dry, oily, or reactive your skin is, so tell us a little about it and we'll point you to the right jar — even if that means telling you to start with the $10 lip balm instead of the bundle. We'd rather you buy one thing that works than three things that sit in a drawer.
The second most common message is about switching off aluminum antiperspirant. Many people notice a one-to-three week adjustment period where they sweat more than usual as sweat glands re-regulate. That's normal, it passes, and our tallow-and-coconut base is specifically there to keep underarm skin calm while it does. If you're two weeks in and frustrated, email us before you give up — there's almost always a simple fix, like applying a thinner layer to fully dry skin.
Orders, shipping, and returns
Orders ship from Taylor, Texas within one to two business days, usually via USPS, and typically arrive in three to seven business days inside the continental U.S. Free shipping kicks in over $50. If a jar arrives melted from a hot mail truck, let it firm back up at room temperature — tallow softens above about 90°F and its properties don't change. If something arrives damaged, or you simply don't love it, email us within 30 days and we'll refund or replace it. Because these are personal-care products we can't resell returns, so there's nothing to ship back.
Wholesale, press, and partnerships
We work with a small number of independent shops, spas, ranch stores, and clean-beauty retailers. Send your store name, location, and what you'd like to carry, and we'll reply with a wholesale sheet and current lead times. Journalists, podcasters, and newsletter writers can find company facts, founder background, and approved boilerplate on our press page, and every ingredient claim we make is cited with links on our research and sources page.
One thing we're not: a support ticket system. There's no chatbot here, no outsourced inbox, and no automated reply chain. Emails come to our family in Taylor, Texas, and we answer them between rendering days, school pickups, and pour sessions. If you don't hear back within two business days, resend — it means we missed it, not that we're ignoring you.

Trent Conley — President, Lone Star Tallow
Lone Star Tallow started in our family kitchen in Taylor, Texas — rendering grass-fed and finished beef tallow the way it's been done for generations. Every jar is still hand-whipped and hand-poured by us. When you email us, you're emailing a real family, not a support queue.
