If you’re looking to transform your skincare routine to pure, natural, and uncomplicated ingredients look no further than tallow!

What is tallow?

Tallow is the rendered fat of ruminants, cattle being a big producer of tallow and lesser-so sheep. Tallow is created when you take the fat from these animals and slowly render it (like lard) into a pure product. Rendering helps take out the impurities in the fat, making it last a long time on the shelf, naturally.

Tallow was used for centuries

Tallow seems to be a ‘revolutionary’ product making it’s way into the natural skincare world. But, in fact it is a centuries-old concept dating back to the earliest civilizations. This traditional product used to be common in both cooking and hygiene centuries ago before industrialization took over the nation.

Tallow is the best natural moisturizer for your skin, in fact, it shares the same biology of your skin. This shared biology is what helps your skin get maximum moisture and promotes healing.

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.

Benefits of tallow for your skin

Tallow Skincare

With the release of our tallow skincare products, I wanted to share what makes tallow so special. I mean putting beef fat on your skin seems a bit crazy AND logical all at the same time.

What is tallow?

Maybe we should start here. What in the heck is tallow? Tallow is the product produced from fat found in ruminants (buffalo, beef, sheep) which are cooked down and ‘rendered’ into an oil. It is purified through this process making it shelf-stable and nearly odorless. It can be used for cooking like lard (from pigs), or as you see here, can be made into many beneficial skincare and household products.

Utilizing fat from ruminants for skincare goes back as far as history itself. When the use of the whole animal at harvest was standard practice. In the past century with the industrialization of well, everything, we stepped away from this practice. So, it isn’t a surprise that with our recent switch back to ‘natural’ we find ourselves here again, being more responsible with our resources and learning about the benefits of 100% grass-fed fat for our skin.

Benefits of tallow

So, today I’m going to cover just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits that stuck out to me because there are many highly educated resources if you want more detail on the biological breakdown of ‘beef fat’.

The highlights of using tallow for your skin

• Tallow is an intense moisturizer that your skin already shares biology with. Yes, your skin recognizes ‘beef fat’ as it has the same biology as the oils in our skin.
