Why EWG Ratings Matter (And Why Most Skincare Brands Don’t Want You to Know About Them)
Share
If your moisturizer has an ingredient list longer than your grocery list… there’s a problem.
Most skincare brands toss around words like “clean” and “natural,” but behind the scenes?
It’s filler city. Chemicals, preservatives, artificial scents — and almost none of it’s disclosed honestly.
That’s why the EWG exists.
What Is EWG — And Why It Should Guide Every Skincare Choice You Make
EWG (Environmental Working Group) is an independent organization that rates the safety of ingredients in your personal care products. Their scale runs from 1 (safest) to 10 (most toxic).
If you’ve never looked up your favorite face cream on EWG… now’s the time.
Because the results might shock you.
Here’s How Our Products Scored (Spoiler: It's Insanely Clean)
At Tallow & Vine, every single formula was designed to meet the highest standard possible — not marketing fluff, but third-party safety scores that actually mean something.
Here’s where we landed:
- Facial Cream: 1.23 — cleaner than 97.4% of skincare products
- Eye Serum: 1.25 — beats 97.2%
- Cleanser: 1.39 — cleaner than 96.6%
- Snail Mucin: 1.35 — cleaner than 96.1%
✨ And the star of the show:
Our Whipped Grass-Fed Tallow Balm with Vanilla Bean is crafted from pure, 100% grass-fed tallow — with zero added preservatives, fragrances, or synthetic fillers.
It’s not just clean — it’s elemental. The kind of skincare our ancestors used… before beauty turned into a chemistry experiment.
Why Big Brands Don’t Want You Reading This
Because their products are built for profit — not purity.
Most of them still use ingredients flagged for:
- Hormone disruption
- Skin irritation
- Toxic buildup over time
Worse? Those ingredients often hide under umbrella terms like “fragrance” or “proprietary blend.”
No one’s regulating that. It’s legal to keep you in the dark.
Why We Built Tallow & Vine Differently
We wanted skincare that was:
✔️ Rated in the top 3% of the entire EWG database
✔️ Hand-crafted in the USA
✔️ Safe enough for a newborn
✔️ Effective enough to replace your 5-step routine
✔️ Luxurious enough to feel indulgent
✔️ Affordable enough to use every day
No greenwashing. No gimmicks. Just glow.
