Cover Yourself from Nose to Tail — With Zero BS

We get it—animal fat isn’t the easiest thing to sell. On the surface, it doesn’t sound sexy. For some, it even triggers a bit of a yuck factor. But scratch beneath that surface, and there’s more to the story—a lot more.

Animal fat has been used by indigenous cultures around the world as a skin remedy for millennia. And now, science is catching up: it works. Not just as a barrier, but as a therapeutic—to support healthy, resilient skin.

But that’s not all...

Our “Nose to Tail” Philosophy

At Zero BS, we don’t just use animal fat—we follow a holistic, nose-to-tail philosophy. In culinary terms, "nose to tail" means using the entire animal instead of cherry-picking the prime cuts. It’s rooted in older, traditional cultures that honoured the life of the animal and wasted nothing.

We apply the same approach to skincare. Our tallow is made from a by-product of the meat industry: the hard fat that’s usually binned or rendered into low-value industrial grease. We rescue that fat and turn it into luxurious butters and balms—packed with fat-soluble vitamins, anti-inflammatory lipids, and bioavailable nourishment your skin actually recognizes.

If You Can’t Eat It, Don’t Put It On Your Skin

Our philosophy is simple: if your skincare isn’t safe enough to eat, it has no business being on your skin. Every ingredient we use is:

• Food-grade

• Free from antibiotics and hormones

• Sourced from pasture-raised, free-range animals

And yes—it’s edible.

Better for You, Better for the Planet

Most skincare on the market is either petroleum-based or water-based. Both come with big problems.

Petroleum-based products are derived from crude oil and leave behind a synthetic residue—on your skin and in our ecosystems. Water-based products require chemical preservatives and emulsifiers to keep them shelf-stable. And when those products wash off your skin, they enter rivers, oceans, and ultimately, our food chain.

Even the so-called “natural” skincare brands aren’t always what they seem. Many rely on palm oil, shea butter, or chemically extracted seed oils. These are grown on massive monoculture plantations, often at the expense of indigenous forests. They’re bleached, deodorized, refined with solvents, and then blended with petroleum-derived vitamins and perfumes to give the illusion of purity.

Zero BS doesn’t play that game.

Our products are:

• 100% biodegradable

• Chemical-free

• Petroleum-free

• Free from synthetic preservatives, fragrances, and emulsifiers

What doesn’t get absorbed into your skin? It breaks down naturally—no damage done.

And Then There’s the Mince…

Yes, really.

When we render our tallow, we’re left with a by-product: a nutrient-dense, protein-rich mince. Instead of tossing it out, we cook it into hearty meals and distribute it to disadvantaged communities.

This is what we mean by a truly holistic skincare system—where nothing is wasted, and everything gives back.

Final Thought

We know animal fat isn’t for everyone. But if you're looking for something that’s better for your skin, your health, and the planet—this is it.

This is skin food.
From nose to tail.
With Zero BS.
