Frequently Asked Questions

​

1. What is the best way to apply Alendia tallow skin care products?
Begin with a clean, slightly damp skin surface for the best application. Use a small amount of the product, warming it between your fingers until it melts, then gently massage it into your skin in circular motions until fully absorbed.

​

2. Can Alendia tallow skin care be used on the face?
Absolutely! Our tallow-based products are crafted to be gentle and nourishing for all skin types, including facial skin. Just remember to use a smaller amount than you would on your body, as a little goes a long way. It does a great job sealing serums and hydrosoles.

 

3. How often should I use Alendia tallow skin care products?
We recommend daily use for optimal results. However, your skin's needs may vary, so listen to your skin. Some people may benefit from using it twice a day, while others may find once a day or even every other day works best.

 

4. Are there any special storage instructions for tallow products?
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Alendia tallow skin care, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

 

5. Can I use Alendia products on my children?
Yes, our products are formulated with natural ingredients suitable for all ages. However, as with any new product, we recommend patch testing a small area first, especially for young children or those with sensitive skin.

 

6. What should I do if I experience a reaction to the product?
While rare, if you experience any adverse reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider. Remember, even natural ingredients can cause reactions in sensitive individuals.

 

7. How long will it take to see results from using Alendia tallow skin care?
Results can vary based on individual skin types and conditions. Some users notice improvements within a few days, while for others, it may take a few weeks to observe significant changes.

 

8. Can Alendia products be used with other skincare products?
Yes, our tallow-based products can be integrated into your existing skincare routine. However, for best results, apply serums and hydrosols first and seal it all up with your favourite Alendia product. 

​

9. Are Alendia products suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, despite being rich, tallow is surprisingly compatible with all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, due to its similarity to human sebum and its non-comedogenic properties.

​

10. Why are there variations in the consistency and color of Alendia's tallow skincare products between different batches?

At Alendia, we take pride in our artisanal approach, crafting our tallow skincare products in small batches to ensure quality and potency. Due to this meticulous process and our commitment to using natural ingredients, variations between batches are perfectly normal. Factors such as the season in which our natural ingredients were harvested, the specific breed of the source animal for our tallow, and even slight differences in temperature during the crafting process can lead to variations in consistency, color, and fragrance. These variations are a testament to our use of natural, unprocessed ingredients and do not affect the product's efficacy. We celebrate these differences as they underline our commitment to natural, personalized skincare that respects and adapts to the rhythms of nature.

11. My Alendia tallow skincare product has a different texture than before. How can I fix this without compromising its quality and effectiveness?

Natural tallow products, such as those we meticulously craft at Alendia, may undergo texture changes due to environmental factors or during transportation. If your product appears grainy, too hard, or has separated slightly, don't worry—this is a natural occurrence and can be easily rectified without affecting the product's beneficial properties or shelf life.

Here's what you can do: Gently melt the product by placing it in a heat-proof container over a double boiler, or warm it in an oven-safe container at a low temperature until it becomes liquid. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring between each until smoothly melted. Once liquified, let the product cool and solidify at room temperature, or accelerate the process by placing it in the refrigerator.

This simple process will restore the original texture of your skincare product while maintaining all its nurturing benefits. Importantly, this method does not compromise the effectiveness, quality, or shelf life of your tallow-based skincare, ensuring you can continue to enjoy its full benefits with every use.
