The result is a superior bison tallow—rich, consistent, and naturally restorative.
Our close relationship with local ranchers guarantees a pure and reliable fatty acid profile, eliminating the inconsistencies found in mass-market or mixed-source products.

Can Bison Tallow Work for All Skin Types?
Yes — bison tallow is a natural emollient that supports nearly every skin type. Its composition closely resembles human sebum, helping balance oil production and strengthen the skin barrier.
Sensitive skin: Soothes redness, irritation, and inflammation.
Dry or mature skin: Provides deep, lasting hydration and softens rough patches.
Oily or acne-prone skin: Helps clarify and calm breakouts with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Many estheticians recommend bison tallow for acne-prone and reactive skin, as it absorbs easily without clogging pores. For best results, use a small amount and patch test new products before regular use.
While it may not be perfect for everyone, most users find bison tallow delivers balanced, radiant, and healthy-looking skin naturally.
Does Tallow Cause Clogged Pores?
When made from high-quality, pure bison tallow, this natural emollient is actually a solution to clogged pores—not the cause. Rich in linoleic acid, bison tallow helps balance oil production, strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, and maintain a clear, smooth complexion.
Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that tallow has a low (2) comedogenic rating, meaning it typically does not clog pores for most skin types. In fact, properly dry rendered bison tallow provides “friendly” fatty acids that closely resemble human sebum, helping the skin regulate its own oil levels naturally. However, as with any topical product, individual results vary—so we always recommend a simple patch test before regular use.
At True Image Tallow, we enhance our handcrafted bison tallow with, but not limited to, organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and organic golden jojoba oil—both known for centuries for their balancing and moisturizing properties.
For best results, apply a small amount of bison tallow to clean, slightly damp skin and let it absorb naturally. Experience luxurious hydration and a clear, radiant complexion that reflects your True Image.
Same Formula. New Name
As True Image Tallow SkinCare continues to grow, we've decided to give two of our signature creams names that better reflect who we are.
Unscented Blend is becoming Prairie Silk.
Baby Cream is becoming Golden Prairie.
The handcrafted formulas you know and love haven't changed—only the names.
During this transition, you may receive either our original labels or our new labels while we thoughtfully use our remaining packaging. Rather than creating unnecessary waste, we're choosing to honor every jar we've already made.
Inside every jar is the same handcrafted North Dakota bison tallow skincare you've always trusted.
Thank you for growing with us. 🤍

"I have been using the product for a few months and love it. I wash hands and use hand sanitizer (natural that I make-but still drying with so many uses every day) all day long as a medical provider, so I started using at end of each shift on just my hands and notice a huge difference already. Excited for my next order!"

"This product is incredible! I had red hair and very fair skin, and now at age 69 my face was really starting to show the negative effects of sun exposure. I’ve used lots of different products to care for my skin but True Image Tallow is THE only product that has made a visible and tactile difference. Reduced wrinkles, super soft skin and even made some sun damaged areas disappear. I use a little bit every day and am a believer!"
