Natural Moisturizer Without Seed Oils
Finding a moisturizer without seed oils is harder than it should be. Here are the main alternatives — and why many people end up at tallow.
No seed oils
Tallow base instead.
Two ingredients
Tallow and organic jojoba.
Face and body
One jar.
Made in Texas
Small batches.
Your options
If you're avoiding seed oils, the realistic moisturizer bases are animal fats (tallow, lanolin), plant butters (shea, cocoa), coconut oil, olive oil, and waxes. Each has its own feel. Plant butters can be heavy or grainy; coconut oil is thin when warm; lanolin is very sticky.
Tallow sits in the middle: rich but spreadable, especially when whipped. It's also a traditional skincare fat with a long track record.
What tallow brings
Tallow is rendered beef fat. It's solid at room temperature and melts at skin temperature, so it sinks in rather than sitting on top. It's rich in the same general families of fats your skin produces.
Lone Star's version is 100% grass-fed and finished tallow whipped with organic jojoba. No seed oils, no water, no preservatives.
Ingredients
The full lotion formula — two ingredients
- 1
100% grass-fed & finished beef tallow
A rich, waterless fat that moisturizes and helps reduce moisture loss.
- 2
Organic cold-pressed jojoba
Technically a liquid wax ester, not a seed oil in the usual sense. Lightens the whip and helps it glide.
No water, no emulsifiers, no preservatives, no seed oils. Our unscented lotion has no added fragrance or essential oils; scented versions are sold separately and clearly labeled. Read about every ingredient.

How to use it

- Give it a minute or two to absorb before dressing.
