Our Story

How Skincare Found Us

Rancher's Render is a family-owned & operated farm in Hope, New Jersey.

RANCH ROOTS

How it Started

Beaver Brook Ranch is our family-owned farm raising known for producing some of the region’s highest-quality grass-fed beef.

Customers picked up their beef orders at the Ranch.. and that's when conversations about tallow skincare would come up. Daily.

"I was ready to try tallow"

You discovered tallow skincare. You're genuinely excited about making the switch.

Nothing else is working for you and tallow is simple, time-tested, and wildly effective.

We get it! - What's not to like?

"Why did choosing a tallow product feel like such a gamble?"

With so many brands popping up, it feels impossible to know where to buy, who to trust, and what’s actually in the jar.

"I loved this tallow... until my 2nd jar."

Thought you had a clean, reliable staple. Instead you got a 2nd jar with an off putting beefy smell or a completely different texture.

Tallow Quality shouldn't change batch-to-batch.

TALLOW IS TRENDING

Market Update on Tallow Skincare

Social media is overflowing with bold claims, DIY blends, and unregulated products.

Anyone with a slow cooker and a label maker can sell you “natural” skincare. This is a problem.

But most of what’s out there?

It’s inconsistent.
It’s untested.
And it’s impossible to trace.

You shouldn't have to wonder where your tallow comes from

You deserve a skincare routine you can rely on every single time.

About Us

Meet our Family

We're a family-owned ranch where single-source tallow meets hands-on care. The same people who raise our cattle and craft your skincare also answer every customer call and email. It's a level of connection and quality most brands simply can't offer.

Helmut Schoen

As a boy in the Bavarian Alps, my dad dreamed of owning a cattle ranch. He made it happen in Virginia, then a few years later moved it all to Hope, NJ.

"Quality tallow starts with lush pastures"

Stefan Schoen

After 20+ years raising 100% grass-fed cattle, we launched Rancher's Render when customers started asking for our suet to make their own skincare.

"Nature provides everything our skin needs"

Lorena Schoen

Lorena is the driving force behind product development and customer experience at Rancher’s Render. She oversees the formulation, testing, and quality control.

"We treat every customer like family"
