The Cow Fat Story

Cow Fat Cosmetics is a family owned company located on the Upper Eastside of Texas, in the Piney Woods. 

My family has always been involved in farming: chickens, cattle, calves, horses, and growing corn and soybeans. We have always been a part of the land, even when we ran our restaurant for 21 years.

Moving from the farmlands of the Midwest, I found myself gravitating to the land of tall grasses and longhorn cattle of Texas. A perfect place for my forever home with my horses and dogs (and a cat or two).

When the dust settled from retiring from the restaurant business, I grew restless, and knew I was bound to start another business.

I have always had issues with dry skin and a bit of acne later in life. Not one for lots of cosmetic products (especially those with fragrance), I looked for an alternative. And when I found the right recipe for tallow based moisturizers, and skin products, I hit the jackpot. 

I started mixing formulas for lip scrubs (dry lips are the bane of my existence), moisturizers, and sunscreens (tallow has a natural SPF all by itself). After researching the benefits, I thought my friends would love this too. 

And that's how Cow Fat Cosmetics came to be. Oh, and I wanted a fun name, since this was meant to be a fun business, and my friend suggested Cow Fat, and I thought it was perfect.
