Why should you use Tallow based skincare?

 

Tallow is a natural fat derived from the suet (the leaf fat surrounding the kidneys) of grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Rich in healing properties, tallow closely mirrors the skin's natural structure, making it a powerful remedy that has been used for centuries to promote skin health. Unfortunately, with the rise of modern skincare trends, the benefits of tallow have been largely forgotten, leaving behind the time-tested natural solutions our ancestors once relied upon.

The benefits of tallow far surpass those of conventional creams and lotions due to its superior absorbency and immediate availability to the skin. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, tallow helps fight free radicals, which contribute to the formation of wrinkles and skin damage. Its high content of fats and lipids, which are naturally found in human skin, allows it to deeply penetrate the skin, making it an incredibly effective moisturizer. Grass-fed beef suet also contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which aids in healing skin damage while working synergistically with tallow’s bioavailability to enhance its absorption.

When combined with skin-healing essential oils, tallow transforms into a luxurious and highly effective moisturizer. Each essential oil is infused with intentions that align with your daily rituals, bringing an added layer of magic to your skincare routine. The antimicrobial and antibacterial properties of tallow, along with the calming and soothing effects of pure essential oils, make our tallow balm/whip an ideal solution for skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and general moisturizing needs.

From my own experience with eczema, I’ve learned firsthand the power of natural ingredients in healing skin conditions. After struggling with my skin for years and trying countless over-the-counter creams, tallow became the final solution that cleared my skin after a decade of frustration.

Free from harmful chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, artificial fragrance, and BPA.
