aloetallow is a water-containing tallow lotion, and its preservative system is PE9010: phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. Aloe vera juice, moisturizing fats and glycerin make up the lotion, while emulsifying wax NF blends the water-based and oily ingredients. Here is what those components do.

Love love love this lotion. Keeps my skin hydrated through the day. I travel a lot to cities with all different types of weather and it does the job. Took it with me to Puerto Rico and it was on my HIP LOL. Super clean formula and minimal ingredients unlike some of these other lotions.Connie K.✓ Verified buyer
The Short Answer on Preservatives
Aloe vera juice contains water, so an aloe-and-tallow lotion has different preservation needs from a water-free balm. aloetallow uses PE9010 to help protect the formula against microbial contamination. The preservative blend contains phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin.
A preservative's name alone does not establish how long a finished lotion lasts. Keep the pump clean, store the bottle away from heat and direct sunlight, and follow any storage or date instructions on the packaging.
Every Formula Component Explained
- Aloe vera juice: the first ingredient and the water-based part of the lotion.
- Grass-fed beef tallow: an emollient that softens dry skin.
- Coconut oil: a moisturizing oil in the formula.
- Shea butter: a rich emollient that softens skin.
- Carrot seed oil: a steam-distilled botanical oil. This is an essential oil, not carrot juice or a water-based hydrosol.
- Vegetable glycerin: a humectant, meaning it draws in moisture.
- Emulsifying wax NF: brings the water-based and oily ingredients together into a lotion.
- PE9010: the preservative blend, containing phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin.
These are the formula components in plain language. PE9010 is a blend rather than a single chemical ingredient. The lotion contains no added fragrance, synthetic dyes or parabens.
How to Compare a Balm and Lotion
Check whether a product contains water-based ingredients, which preservative system it uses, and how the brand says to store it. A water-free balm and an aloe-based lotion are different formats, even if both feature grass-fed tallow.
aloetallow comes in an 8 fl oz pump bottle. You dispense a small amount without scooping from a jar. The ingredients can have a mild natural scent even though no fragrance is added. If a specific ingredient matters to you, contact care@aloe-tallow.com before buying.
Eight ingredients. Every one of them earned it.
Eight formula components, including the PE9010 preservative blend.
Aloe Vera Juice
The first ingredient and the water-based part of the lotion.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Wet-rendered grass-fed tallow, an emollient that helps soften dry skin.
Coconut Oil
A moisturizing oil that contributes to the lotion's texture.
Shea Butter
A rich emollient that helps soften dry skin.
Carrot Seed Oil
A botanical oil from carrot seeds. Part of the formula, even though no fragrance is added.
Vegetable Glycerin
A humectant that draws in moisture.
Emulsifying Wax NF
Blends the water-based and oily ingredients into a lotion.
PE9010
Contains phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. Helps protect the water-containing formula.
Each ingredient has a role.
Moisture and softness
Glycerin draws in moisture. Tallow, coconut oil and shea butter are emollients that help soften dry skin. These ingredients play different roles in the same lotion.
Aloe and oils, blended
Aloe vera juice is the first ingredient and contains water. Emulsifying wax NF combines that water-based part with the formula's oils into a spreadable lotion.
A preserved pump lotion
PE9010 helps protect the water-containing formula. The pump dispenses lotion without scooping from a jar. Keep the nozzle clean and store the bottle away from heat and direct sunlight.

What customers actually say.
Sinks in fast, leaves a clean shine.
I love the ingredient transparency. I flipped over the bottle the first time I used it and was like… wow, that’s actually pronounceable! No fillers, no mystery stuff. My girlfriend even started using it because it’s so clean and simple.
I like how the Tallow lotion is moisturizing but not greasy! Also that its made with non-toxic ingredients!

Frequently asked questions.
Does grass-fed tallow skincare have synthetic preservatives?
