Why Beef Tallow?
If you’ve ever read the back of your lotion bottle or 10-step skincare routine, you know that most of these products have long lists of ingredients you can’t pronounce, and you have no clue what these ingredients do or where they even come from. Common harmful ingredients found in these products are synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, triclosan, preservatives, sulfates, seed oils, petroleum-derived oils, chemicals UV blockers, and aerosols. These substances leech through our pores and go straight into our bodies, and they may be underlying causes of headaches, skin irritation and inflammation, acne, allergies, endocrine disruption, infertility, developmental issues, and even cancer. However, you can be in control of your own health, and one of the simplest ways to start is by switching to 100% natural skincare products like beef tallow!
Tallow is the purest type of fat that comes from the suet of cows. Our tallow is sourced from small sustainable farms that raise 100% grass fed and pasture raised cattle. It goes through a wet rendering process that removes odor and impurities to achieve a high quality, pure white, and cosmetic-grade tallow. It is very nutrient rich for the skin because it contains bioavailable vitamins and minerals like A, D, E, K, B12, CLA, stearic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. These nutrients nourish the skin, moisturize, protect, and sooth inflammation and irritation from chronic skin conditions. Most lotions have polyunsaturated fats (PUFA’s) like sunflower oil and grapeseed oil which are high in omega 6 fatty acids that are inflammatory and cause oxidation, especially when the skin is burned. Tallow is much better for the skin because it’s low in PUFA’s and high anti-inflammatory omega 3’s, so it doesn’t cause oxidative stress which leads to premature aging. Using tallow on the face and body regularly can help with skin cell turnover and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and texture by improving skin elasticity. The fatty acid profile in tallow is very similar to the sebum our skin naturally produces, so it benefits all skin types and does not tend to clog pores. You don’t need a complicated skincare routine, just one that has clean natural and ingredients that support overall skin health. Become inspired to clean up your routine with our Whipped Tallow Balm, Sun Balm, Nourishing Lip Balm, and Hair Growth Oil so you can feel good about giving your hair and skin what they need without the junk!
