Chelev (חֵלֶב) is a Hebrew word that means “fat” – but not just any fat. In Scripture, chelev refers to the richest, most sacred portion – the best that was set aside for the Lord. It symbolizes purity, offering, and devotion. At Chelev, this meaning is at the heart of everything we do. We exist to honor God by offering the best – to your skin, your body, and your home.

Rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ, Chelev is more than a business – it’s a calling. We believe that everything we do should reflect the goodness, purity, and care of our Creator. Just as God gave us the earth’s abundance to nourish and heal, we are called to steward it well and share it with others in love.

That’s why we create pure, handcrafted skincare made from grass-fed beef tallow, blended with natural oils and botanical ingredients. Our tallow is rich in nutrients that deeply moisturize, restore, and protect the skin, without any harmful chemicals or synthetic fragrances.

We also offer Chelev Premium Cooking Tallow, a wholesome, traditional fat for the kitchen. High in healthy fats and vitamins, it’s perfect for frying, roasting, and cooking – all while supporting a more ancestral, nourishing way of life. It’s our way of reclaiming the forgotten goodness that God built into His creation.

Every jar we make is a reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and that the best care, inside and out, comes from nature as God intended it. Whether you are caring for your skin or preparing a meal for your family, Chelev is our offering of the best portion unto the Lord, and to you.

With love and purpose,
The Chelev Team
