At Ridge Runner Outdoors, our commitment to sustainability drives every product we create. Our tallow balm was born out of a desire to make better use of venison fat left over from hunting season. Instead of letting it go to waste, a extensive research (AKA a google search) led us to the idea of crafting a balm from rendered fat, turning a potential waste product into a high-quality, sustainable offering, (we now use lamb tallow) Similarly, our Carnivore Fish Chews came about from finding a more efficient way to utilize fish skins after filleting. Noting that menhaden oil, derived from bunker fish, is a common ingredient in dog kibble, we saw an opportunity to repurpose the skins into a valuable, eco-friendly chew. By reimagining these byproducts, we’re reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle for pets and their owners.

Carnivore Fish Chews are the ideal single-ingredient chew for your furry friend! Made from minimally processed fish, these chews are a natural, healthier alternative to traditional rawhide. With their rich flavor and satisfying texture, they offer a wholesome chewing experience for your pet. Choose Carnivore Fish Chews for a simple, pure option that’s perfect for your pet’s chewing needs. Plus, by repurposing fish skins that might otherwise go to waste, we're supporting a more sustainable approach to pet care. Treat your pet with a chew that’s as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable!

Tallow is a rendered form of animal fat, typically derived from beef or mutton. The process of rendering involves melting the fat to separate the solids (protein) from the liquid (fat). Tallow has been used historically for various purposes, including cooking, soap-making, and as a component in skincare products.

In skincare, tallow is valued for its moisturizing properties. It contains a blend of fatty acids and is similar in composition to the natural oils produced by our skin. This similarity allows it to provide effective hydration and nourishment to the skin. Some skincare products, like balms and creams, use tallow as a natural ingredient, often sourced from grass-fed animals for a higher quality product.

Choosing tallow for skincare is choosing nature's time-tested elixir for radiant skin. Packed with essential fatty acids and resembling the skin's natural oils, grass-fed tallow offers unparalleled hydration, nourishment, and restoration. Its compatibility with the skin's composition makes it an ideal moisturizer, promoting a healthy and resilient complexion. Tallow's rich nutrient profile makes it a powerhouse ingredient, addressing various skin concerns, from dryness to anti-aging. Embracing tallow is not just a skincare choice; it's a connection to the purity of nature, ensuring that every application is a celebration of resilience, adventure, and the untamed beauty within.
