About Fatco

FATCO was created from a simple belief: healthy choices shouldn’t stop at food. That connection between food and well-being inspired us to look for skincare built with the same intention, clean, nourishing products made from ingredients that make sense. When we couldn’t find options that truly matched that standard, we started making our own from home, focusing on simple formulas that support skin and everyday comfort. That’s how FATCO was born: a back to basics approach to hygiene, built around naturally occurring ingredients and the idea that what you put on your body matters, too.

Through the company, FATCO brings awareness and education about how small changes in your life can improve your skin as well as your overall health. Tallow and other naturally occurring ingredients are the basis for FATCO’s products, upholding the idea that just like clean dieting, clean hygiene is a sound approach to living well.

“It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes. Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live and let’s change the way we treat each other.” — Tupac Shakur

It might not be a common modern practice to rub beef fat all over your face, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good for you. Hand-in-hand with FATCO’s philosophy is our belief in looking to the past for the fundamentals of healthy living. To us, going back to early beauty remedies like pressed plant oils and animal fats feels natural. Pun intended. Our tallow is derived from the kidney fat (or, suet) of grass-fed, pasture raised cows. For centuries, humans used tallow in skin moisturizers and healing balms, but the topical use of these fats seemed to stop around the same time animal fats stopped being considered part of a healthy diet. But we missed fat so much that we're helping it make a comeback!

Tallow from grass-fed cows has a ton of natural, nourishing benefits. It contains high concentrations of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are vital for skin health!

Vitamin A: Protects against UV damage and slows signs of aging. Encourages healthy skin cell production and boosts collagen, helping minimize fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin D: Calms inflammation, protects the skin, and improves cell turnover. Can help soothe skin conditions like dry skin, psoriasis, and eczema.

Vitamin K: Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier and helps retain hydration longer. Beneficial for conditions like eczema & psoriasis, as it inhibits inflammation typical of these skin conditions.

Vitamin E: Promotes cell turnover and regeneration, bringing new cells to the surface faster.

As you can see, tallow is packed with good-for-you ingredients — making it the foundation for many FATCO products. It's our flagship ingredient and the reason we truly believe that fat is your friend.

Cows are great. Everyone loves cows. They’re like big-eyed, mooing dairy angels. FATCO loves cows so much that we use the most respectful practices when sourcing our tallow. We go the extra miles to ensure a reverent use of our beloved cows — beginning with our Nose-To-Tail Philosophy. As you can probably guess, Nose-To-Tail is the practice of using every part of the animal, down to the bones and the fat. It’s a necessary duty for companies who really want to honor the animals they’re using to make a product. To us, it’s essential to our business. FATCO also supports organizations like The Savory Institute, an organization whose mission is "the large-scale regeneration of the world’s grasslands through Holistic Management to address the global issues of desertification, climate change, and food and water insecurity." Organizations like this are helping to change the way we look at our food system, including the treatment of livestock. FATCO’s philosophies help us deliver a consistent product that’s made with smart and ethical practices.
