The Original Tallow Tan: Why We Created the World’s #1 Tallow-Based Self-Tanner

When we launched Tallowtan, there wasn’t anything like it.

No one was talking about tallow in the self-tanning world. No one was offering a truly clean, hydrating, skin-loving tanning product that didn’t compromise on results. And definitely no one was formulating with the intention of supporting your skin barrier while giving you the glow of a tropical vacation.

So, we made it ourselves.

Why We Created Tallowtan

Our founder was tired of choosing between two extremes:

  • Tanners that “worked” but were full of chemicals that irritated the skin, dried it out, or smelled harsh
  • Clean or “natural” tanners that didn’t last, looked patchy, or felt like a greasy body lotion with a hint of DHA

We knew there had to be a better way.

That’s when we turned to the most ancient skincare ingredient of all time: tallow.

✨ The Hero Ingredient: Tallow

Tallow is rich in skin-repairing vitamins A, D, E, and K. It naturally mimics your skin’s lipid structure and supports deep hydration, elasticity, and barrier repair.

But don’t confuse it with thick or greasy. Our proprietary Tallowtan Self-Tanner is light, quick-absorbing, and deeply hydrating.

✨ The Game-Changing Glow: DHA + Erythrulose

We went beyond basic DHA. Our glow comes from a premium blend of plant-based DHA and erythrulose - two sugar-derived bronzing agents that work with your skin’s amino acids for a natural-looking, long-lasting tan that fades evenly.

No orange. No streaks. Just a golden glow that looks like you just got back from a week off-grid in Tulum.

✨ The Skincare Side: Real Actives, Real Hydration

You’ll find real, clinically backed skincare ingredients in every jar:

  • Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration
  • Niacinamide for brightening and barrier repair
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) for smoothing and softness
  • Hemisqualane + Coco-Caprylate for silky, lightweight moisture

It’s not just a self-tanner.
It’s a glow serum.
It’s a skin treatment.
It’s your new favorite beauty ritual.

Why We’re the Original (and Still the Best)

When we launched Tallowtan, we weren’t trying to be the next big beauty brand. We were solving a personal problem: how to get a beautiful tan without compromising skin health.

We created the first-ever tallow-based self-tanner and built our formula from the ground up:

  • No seed oils
  • No hormone-disrupting fragrance
  • No harsh preservatives
  • No sticky residue
  • No breakouts, dryness, or flaking

Just pure, powerful skin nutrition with a glow to match.

Today, we’re proud to say: Tallowtan is the world’s #1 tallow-based self-tanner.
And while the world is starting to catch on, we’ll always be the originators - the ones who brought tallow to the tanning aisle.
