The Power of Bison Tallow

Bison tallow isn’t a trend. It’s the fat that fueled nations, kept skin strong in harsh climates, and remains one of nature’s most perfect moisturizers. At BUFF BAR®, we bring that strength forward for modern skin.
Why It Works
● Bio-Compatible Hydration – Bison tallow is structurally similar to the oils your skin makes on its own. That means it absorbs quickly, works deeply, and restores balance where other products just coat the surface.
● Packed With Nutrients – Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus skin-friendly fatty acids, bison tallow delivers everything your skin needs to repair, protect, and thrive.
● Gentle Strength – Tough enough for weather-beaten hands, gentle enough for sensitive skin. Unlike synthetic lotions, tallow doesn’t irritate — it supports.
● Cleaner Than the Rest – No cheap fillers, no perfumes, no harsh chemicals. Just clean, effective fat, drawn from the strongest animal on the Plains.

don’ t take our word for it, here is what our customers say.

    I’ve been using the lemon scented bar for about a month now and I really like it! I tend to be quite sensitive to most commercial body washes, even the best ones leave me itching, but these bars are just the opposite! My skin feels great, not dried out. There’s no weird smell and the lemon is very subtle. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!

    ★★★★★
    If you’re savvy to how perfumy products really mess with your hormones (because they do!) then this is the soap and shampoo for you. Yes, you can wash your whole body with this soap. It will not dry you out, and it’s very good for your skin. There is no odor – it’s neutral. This is what I recommend for my patients who want optimum health and who may also have skin problems.

  • Brianna

    ★★★★★
    I have been looking for a natural soap due to my sensitive skin and just trying to cut out toxic ingredients in general. This is very good quality tallow soap with a nice mild scent! If anything with the bars were a little bigger due to the higher price but overall love the quality of this product.

  • Peggy

    ★★★★★
    I really like this soap! I’m switching out many products for a more clean lifestyle and trying to live a healthier, with no toxins or added ingredients. I tried this soap and its a keeper! It cleans it has no strong smell ,no added ingredients. And keeps my skin soft and clean.
    I will continue to purchase this brand !

frequently asked questions.

What is bison tallow?

Bison tallow is the rendered fat of the American bison. When purified, it creates a clean, vitamin-rich base that’s incredibly close to the natural oils in your own skin. This means it absorbs easily, delivers
deep hydration, and supports strong, healthy skin without the heaviness of
synthetic creams.

Is it ethical to use bison products? 

Yes. Using the whole animal honors the bison, prevents waste, and supports holistic ranching and conservation herds.

Is it environmentally responsible to use bison products?

Yes. Bison herds naturally restore prairie ecosystems, improve soil health, and boost biodiversity.

Is bison tallow good for dry skin?

Yes. Bison tallow is loaded with fatty acids and vitamins that help replenish the skin barrier and lock in moisture. It’s especially good for dry, cracked, or weather-exposed skin — providing hydration that lasts without leaving a greasy layer.

Can I use bison tallow products on my face?

Yes. Because of its structural similarity to your skin’s own oils, bison tallow is gentle enough for facial use, even in people who find beef tallow or plant-based oils too heavy. It helps calm dryness, restore
balance, and protect sensitive skin.

Are your fragrances safe?

Yes. Only essential oils and all-natural fragrance blends — never perfumes, synthetics, parabens, or phthalates.

What makes BUFF BAR® products unique?

Most skincare is built on seed oils, petroleum, or synthetic fillers. BUFF BAR® starts with bison tallow — a skin-compatible fat that your body recognizes. Combined with simple, effective ingredients, it delivers moisture and protection in a way most modern products can’t match. It’s authentic, effective, and rooted in heritage.

How does bison tallow soap differ from regular soap?

Most commercial soaps strip oils from your skin, leaving it tight and dry. Bison tallow soap cleanses while replenishing natural moisture, so your skin feels balanced instead of stripped. The difference is noticeable after the first wash.

Is your bison tallow soap lye-based?

Yes — all real soap is made with lye. Once the process is complete, no lye remains in the finished bar. What you’re left with is a
gentle, nourishing soap that’s safe for even sensitive skin.

Do your products contain allergens?

Buff Bar is built on a minimal list of quality ingredients— like bison tallow, beeswax, jojoba, shea butter, coconut, olive, castor, bentonite clay, mica, natural fragrances, and organic flavor oils. We never hide fillers, chemicals, or synthetic stabilizers. While allergic reactions to our natural ingredients are rare, they’re still possible, so we always recommend checking the label and patch testing if you have sensitivities.
