ZOLENA Frequently Asked Questions

What is ZOLENA?
ZOLENA is a Canadian brand focused on thoughtfully made products for beauty, wellness, cooking, hair care, and pets. Our collections include bone broth collagen, tallow skincare, cooking tallow, hair products, and bone broth for pets.

What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered beef fat that has traditionally been used for cooking and skincare. ZOLENA uses carefully prepared tallow in several of our cooking and beauty products.

What is the difference between Cooking Tallow and your skincare tallow?
Our Cooking Tallow is made specifically for food preparation and comes in delicious seasoned varieties such as Steakhouse, Vegetable, Maple Chipotle, and Everything Bagel. Our beauty products are formulated separately with skincare ingredients and are for external use only.

How do I use ZOLENA Cooking Tallow?
Use it anywhere you would normally use butter or cooking oil. It can be used for vegetables, potatoes, steak, chicken, burgers, stir-fries, roasting, bread, and many other recipes.

Do I need to refrigerate Cooking Tallow?
Follow the storage directions printed on your individual ZOLENA product label. Always keep the jar clean and use a clean utensil when serving.

What is Bone Broth Collagen?
ZOLENA Bone Broth Collagen combines bone broth with added protein and comes in several flavours. It is designed as an easy way to enjoy a protein-rich broth as part of your regular diet.

How do I use Bone Broth Collagen?
It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into your daily routine according to the directions on the package. Storage and preparation instructions may vary by product, so always follow the label.

Is Bone Broth Collagen a medical treatment?
No. ZOLENA food products are foods, not medications, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

What is special about your tallow skincare?
Our tallow skincare combines tallow with selected oils and other cosmetic ingredients to create rich, nourishing-feeling products for the skin.

Can I use the Face Cream and Glow Serum together?
Yes. You can apply the Glow Serum first and then follow with the Tallow Face Cream. They can also be used separately depending on your routine and skin preference.

How much tallow face cream should I use?
Start with a very small amount. Tallow-based creams are rich, so a little can go a long way.

What is the Under-Eye Glow Roller for?
It is designed as part of your cosmetic under-eye routine. Apply a small amount gently around the eye area, avoiding direct contact with the eyes.

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu, also known as copper tripeptide-1, is a cosmetic peptide used in some skincare and hair-care formulations.

Can I use your hair mask and hair serum together?
Yes. The hair mask can be used as a treatment, while the hair and scalp serum can be incorporated into your regular scalp and hair-care routine according to the product directions.

Are ZOLENA beauty products suitable for everyone?
Everyone’s skin is different. We recommend reading the ingredient list and doing a small patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. Stop using a product if irritation occurs.

Are your pet bone broths the same as the human bone broth?
No. ZOLENA pet products are formulated and labelled specifically for dogs and cats. Always use the product intended for your pet.

How can I serve ZOLENA pet bone broth?
It can be served according to the directions on the package, including as a topper or treat. Introduce new foods gradually, and consult your veterinarian if your pet has medical or dietary restrictions.

Where can I buy ZOLENA products?
You can shop online at zolena.ca and at selected retail locations carrying ZOLENA products.
