FATCO

FATCO is a pioneering tallow-based skincare company founded in 2014 by Cassy Burnvoth, an engineer-turned-formulator who applied the principles of ancestral eating to personal care products. Operating from Stateline, Nevada, FATCO was born from Cassy's belief that healthy choices shouldn't stop at food—what you put on your body matters as much as what you put in it. The company specializes in grass-fed beef tallow skincare, reviving a centuries-old beauty practice that fell out of favor when animal fats were wrongly demonized.

FATCO sources suet (kidney fat) exclusively from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows and follows a strict "nose-to-tail" philosophy that honors the whole animal. Tallow from grass-fed cows contains high concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K—nutrients vital for skin health, collagen production, inflammation reduction, and barrier repair. The company supports organizations like The Savory Institute, which promotes regenerative grassland management, and maintains complete independence as a small, self-owned business with 2-10 employees.
