Tallow for Skincare
Tallow for Skincare
Ok, if you’ve done your research on alternatives to chemical-ridden skincare products you may have landed here. But, what in the heck is tallow, really, and why am I standing by it as the best product for your skin?
What is tallow?
Tallow is rendered fat from ruminants (cattle and sheep). In raw form it comes from the fat surrounding the animals kidneys and is rich in vitamins and minerals. We make tallow from our 100% grass-fed and grass-finished herd/flock which keeps our tallow clear of un-natural elements that could harm your skin.
How do you get tallow?
It will certainly come up in my discussions about tallow, so let’s lay this one out. On our farm we primarily raise livestock for meat. However, I am passionate about utilizing more of our livestock in a responsible and ethical way. So, traditionally the fat from beef and lamb is not saved, but we’ve chosen to change that and render it into a product that is healthy for your skin. By utilizing tallow for skincare products you’re part of a bigger cycle of leaving less of our meat animals in a landfill.
What are the benefits of tallow for skin?
Tallow is an intense moisturizer that your skin already shares biology with. Yes, your skin recognizes ‘ruminant (cattle and sheep) fat’ as it has similar biology as the oils in our skin. Because of this it is able to utilize the hydrating properties in tallow more efficiently. For this reason, it works better than plant-based hydration.
Since your skin already recognizes tallow as a beneficial helper your skin is less likely to break out with acne or inflammation.
Tallow is naturally filled with incredible nutrients, vitamins and minerals for your skin and has been used for centuries to help skin heal naturally. It naturally possesses vitamin A, D, K, E and more!
Tallow is a 100% natural ingredient, it isn’t filled with chemicals or ingredients that make you question their long-term effects on your health.
Tallow is naturally anti-aging because it helps your skin heal and repair, helping keep your skin more youthful!
