## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is tallow skincare greasy?
A: It goes on fairly thick initially but absorbs quickly into the skin. Most customers report it "sucks in" within a minute, leaving skin soft and supple without a greasy feel. Tallow's fatty acid profile closely matches human sebum, which is why it absorbs so well.

Q: Is this product vegan?
A: No. Tallow is rendered beef fat. Our tallow comes from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised on pasture in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. If you are seeking a vegan alternative, this is not the right product.

Q: What does "blockchain verified" mean?
A: Every batch we produce is cryptographically hashed and timestamped on the Bitcoin blockchain using OpenTimestamps. This creates an immutable record proving that the batch existed at a specific point in time with specific ingredients. Customers can independently verify this using the batch ID printed on their jar.

Q: Where are you located?
A: Calumet, Michigan — a village of about 700 people in the Keweenaw Peninsula, which is the northernmost point of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, jutting into Lake Superior.

Q: Do you ship nationwide?
A: Yes, we ship throughout the United States.

Q: What is the shelf life?
A: Approximately 12-18 months when stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. The rosemary extract and vitamin E serve as natural preservatives.

Q: Are your products tested on animals?
A: No. Never.

Q: What does "Sovereign Core" mean?
A: The Sovereign Core is the set of 14 ingredients shared across all six products. It forms the base formula. Each product then adds its own "hero" ingredients (specific mushrooms, herbs, or botanicals) on top of this shared foundation.
