FAQ

 


    What is Tallow?

    Our 100% grass-fed beef tallow comes from pasture-raised cattle. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, & K, plus essential fatty acids, it closely mimics your skin’s oils, making it deeply nourishing & ideal for restoring your skin barrier.

    Skin & Nervous System connection:

    • Your skin & nervous system are made of the same tissue
    • This is why emotions, stress, & trauma often show up on the skin (breakouts, rosacea, eczema, inflammation, etc.).
    • When the skin feels “unsafe” - through irritation, barrier damage, or harsh products. It can activate the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)
    • Unbranded Products are created with full body health in mind. That's why we call it Holistic Skincare... addressing the body, mind & soul.

    Can a skincare routine really help regulate the nervous system?

    Yes. The ritual itself is powerful. Touch, scent, slow breathing, & simple daily moments activate the parasympathetic (rest & digest) branch of the nervous system. Using your products becomes a grounding micro-practice that signals the body to soften, slow down, & return to presence.

    What makes Unbranded Provisions different from other “clean beauty” brands?

    We go beyond clean ingredients. Our approach honors the relationship between skin health & nervous system health. Every formula is intentional, simple, & created to support a sense of safety, grounding, & presence in your everyday life.

    Is this medical skincare?

    No. Our products are not medical treatments & do not diagnose or heal conditions. They support the body by reducing stressors, nurturing the skin barrier, & creating calming sensory experiences. These are daily rituals designed to work with your body, not override it.

    Why 100% grass-fed / pasture raised matters:

    Pasture-raised cattle fat accumulates fewer toxins (pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics) than conventional farms. This means the tallow is cleaner, purer, & more beneficial for your skin. We are advocates for regenerative agriculture, supporting these practices & land stewards.

    Why Cold-Pressed & Fractionated Oils Matter:

    Cold-pressed oils retain maximum nutrients & antioxidants because they are extracted without heat, preserving their natural vitamins & essential fatty acids. Fractionated oils (like coconut oil) are lighter, fast-absorbing, non-pore-clogging, & nourishing - perfect for skincare.

    Shelf Life & Storage:

    Our preservative-free tallow & oil-based products last 6–12 months when stored in cool & dry place. Avoid contamination, keep out of sunlight, & store at room temperature or below. If tallow softens, simply chill it to restore firmness.

    Oil Cleansing:

    Oil cleansing is a gentle & effective way to remove impurities, makeup, & excess oil without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. It helps balance the skin's oil production, supports hydration, & can improve skin texture, making it a great option for all skin types, including sensitive & acne-prone skin. Our formulation won't clog pores. 

    HOW TO OIL CLEANSE:

    1. Massage Citrus Everything Oil or Tallow Cream onto dry skin for 1–2 minutes.
    2. Use a warm, damp cloth to gently wipe away impurities & makeup
    3. Rinse cloth & repeat if needed
    4. Pat dry & follow with moisturizer (Citrus Everything Oil il or Tallow Cream)

    What does blue tansy smell like?

    Blue tansy has a naturally sweet, soft, herbaceous scent with warm, slightly fruity undertones. 

    What does frankincense smell like?

    Frankincense has a warm, earthy, slightly woodsy scent. It smells clean & grounding.

    Fine Print:

    Our products contain no preservatives or stabilizers. Hot temperatures will melt product & can cause minimal leakage. This is normal & does not cause changes in the products. If any separation occurs, carefully stir product & store in a cool place. If tallow based products are melty upon arrival place in fridge to firm up, or wait for it to firm on its own. All products are handmade in small batches. Changes in packaging, color or texture may vary slightly due to sourcing & seasonal changes. 

    Recycling:

    Please reuse or recycle glass jars & bottles. Pop them in the dishwasher or wash with soap & water.

    Pro-tip: You can use pure lemon essential oil to easily remove labels (on any jar) think natural goo-gone.
