Benefits of Tallow for Skin

Beef Tallow contains rich nutrients such as Vitamin A, D, E, K, B12, and fatty acids (oleic, stearic, linoleic) that nourish the skin, soothe inflammation, and strengthen the skin’s barrier. Tallow supports skin regeneration and is biologically similar to the sebum our skin naturally produces making it an ideal, non-toxic alternative to many synthetic skin care products. The nourishing fats in tallow help maintain collagen structure and promote firmer, more elastic skin. Tallow mimics skin’s natural oils making it easily absorbed and less likely to clog pores. Tallow’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties can help soothe various skin conditions by helping repair the skin’s natural barrier and fighting bacteria on the skin. Tallow is incredibly rich in saturated fats and triglycerides that closely resemble those found in our skin. These lipids form a breathable barrier that seals in moisture while allowing the skin to function normally. Unlike water-based lotions that evaporate quickly, tallow deeply hydrates and keeps skin soft and moisturized for hours.
