Is aloetallow completely seed oil free? No. The formula contains steam-distilled carrot seed essential oil. If you want to avoid every seed-derived ingredient, this lotion does not meet that requirement.
aloetallow is an aloe-forward lotion with grass-fed beef tallow, coconut oil and shea butter. Its published formula also includes carrot seed oil, vegetable glycerin, emulsifying wax and the PE 9010 preservative system.

Winter usually dries out my skin badly, especially from cold weather and indoor heating. I like this lotion because it has very few ingredients and actually absorbs instead of feeling heavy. My skin feels softer and more comfortable throughout the day.Elham S.
What People Mean by Seed Oil Free
People sometimes use seed oil free as shorthand for avoiding carrier oils such as sunflower, soybean or canola oil. That is a different requirement from avoiding every ingredient derived from a seed.
A steam-distilled essential oil is different from a carrier oil used as a moisturizer's main oil base. aloetallow contains carrot seed essential oil, so a blanket claim that it contains no seed oils would be misleading.
For a strict ingredient restriction, review the bottle label rather than relying on a broad marketing category. Our published component list does not establish the complete upstream source of every blended or plant-derived ingredient.
What's Inside the aloetallow Formula
These are the formula components we describe publicly. Some, including emulsifying wax and PE 9010, are ingredient systems rather than single substances:
- Aloe vera juice: the first listed formula component
- Grass-fed beef tallow: a wet-rendered fat used in the lotion
- Coconut oil: one of the formula's moisturizing oils
- Shea butter: a plant butter used alongside tallow and coconut oil
- Carrot seed oil: steam-distilled essential oil
- Glycerin: humectant that draws moisture into the skin
- Emulsifying wax: helps keep the water-and-oil lotion mixed
- PE 9010: phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin preservative system

What customers actually say.
I’ve been looking for a good tallow-based lotion for a long time, but most were way too greasy or heavy. AloeTallow completely changed that. It absorbs beautifully, feels light on the skin, and keeps me moisturized all day without any oily residue. I’ve started using it as my everyday lotion because the ingredients are so clean and natural. it’s simple, effective, and you can genuinely feel the difference.
LOVE this lotion!! Soaks in beautifully and is so nourishing to the skin. Love the clean ingredients -- makes you feel so good using it knowing that you are not putting chemicals on your skin. So excited to have found my new favorite lotion!!
I’ve been a repeat customer since last summer and I absolutely love this aloe tallow. It’s hands down the best lotion I’ve used—super nourishing without feeling greasy at all. My skin drinks it up and always feels so soft and healthy after. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions.
What makes a moisturizer seed oil free?
The phrase can mean different things to different shoppers. If your definition excludes every seed-derived oil, aloetallow does not qualify: it contains steam-distilled carrot seed essential oil. Review the bottle label for your specific restriction.
Is coconut oil a seed oil?
Coconut oil is one of the ingredients in aloetallow. Whether a shopper includes it in a seed-oil restriction depends on how that restriction is defined. We do not use its classification to claim the whole formula is seed oil free.
Why do people avoid seed oils in skincare?
Some shoppers prefer particular ingredient sources or want to avoid specific oils. That preference does not establish that all seed-derived oils are unsuitable for skin. Choose based on the actual formula and your individual tolerance.
Are shea butter and coconut oil considered seed oils?
Both are plant-derived ingredients included in aloetallow. Rather than making a blanket classification claim, we identify them directly on the formula list. The formula also contains carrot seed essential oil, so it is not free of all seed-derived oils.
