Welcome to D’nae Thomas Tallow. Our Holistic skincare Philosophy: Natures Healing Power

As an equine veterinarian, I’ve spent my career understanding how the natural world supports the health and healing of animals. That same philosophy — using natural, effective remedies — is at the heart of D’nae Thomas Tallow.

I’m Dr. Mariah, and my passion for wound care led me to tallow. I originally began formulating balms for my equine patients, using tallow to support skin regeneration, reduce inflammation, and protect wounds. It didn’t take long to realize how powerful this ancestral ingredient is for human skin too — soothing everything from dryness and fine lines to scars and rashes.

D’nae Thomas Tallow was born from that discovery: a holistic skincare line rooted in veterinary insight, regenerative ingredients, and the belief that nature knows best.

We believe that skincare is about more than just surface-level beauty—its about nurturing your skin and supporting its natural function. We believe that skincare should be simple, pure and deeply nourishing. That’s why we use 100% grass fed tallow, a time-tested ingredient known for its skin benefits. Each product is formulated with care, ensuring the highest quality and most effective natural ingredients.

Our products are created with ingredients that nourish, repair and protect without harsh chemicals or synthetic additives. As a veterinarian, I’ve learned to trust the power of natural remedies and I’ve seen firsthand how the body responds to wholesome pure.  

Our tallow is handcrafted using pure suet tallow, the highest-quality fat from around the kidneys of grass-fed, grass-finished cows. This form of tallow is exceptionally rich in nutrients and boasts unparalleled purity, making it ideal for skincare. Not only does our suet tallow have a luxurious texture, but it is also packed with skin-nourishing compounds like conjugated linoleic acid, vitamin E, omega-3s, beta carotene, and vitamin A. These nutrients make it deeply restorative and perfect for promoting natural skin repair and hydration.

From my hands-on experience in wound care to my dedication to high-quality ingredients, every product is crafted with love and purpose to support your skin’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Whether caring for horses or creating tallow-based skincare, my goal is always to enhance health and healing in the most thoughtful and effective way possible.

Our Ranch Connection

We proudly partner with Bella Beef Company, a local ranch in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley, California. The cattle are humanely raised on open pasture, grass-fed and grass-finished without antibiotics or hormones. Grazing on native grasses, sagebrush, and the unique coastal elements of the Santa Ynez Valley, they produce an exceptionally pure and nutrient-dense tallow.

This sustainable and ethical approach to ranching ensures that every product we make supports not just healthy skin — but also animal welfare, environmental care, and transparency from start to finish.

Whether you're supporting skin recovery or simply seeking a more natural routine, we're here to walk alongside you — with love for animals, people, and the planet in every formula.
