What's So Great About Tallow Skincare?

What is Tallow?

Tallow is the rendered fat from cows. The fatty acid and vitamin composition of beef tallow is highly similar to our own skin composition, which is why it is incredibly effective at nourishing, healing, and protecting our skin.

For those coming from plant-based skincare, it may feel odd to switch to animal-based skincare.

However, tallow is what our ancestors used long before we had the means to use solvents like hexane to extract large quantities of plant/seed/vegetable oils and mass-produce them in skincare products.

In order to make plant-based skincare products, companies use highly processed seed oils which are often extracted with hexane, and which can still be present in the final product.

This can cause skincare products to be inflammatory, pore-clogging, toxic, and irritating to the skin.

Bottom-line: seed oils are toxic and not bio-compatible with human skin. They are chemically unstable at best, and oxidized/rancid at worst. Free radicals from oxidized oils are known to contribute to skin damage and premature aging.
