What is tallow? It is the purest type of fat that comes from suet surrounding a cow’s organs. 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 many 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 is low in PUFA’s and high anti-inflammatory omega 3’s, so it does not cause oxidative stress that 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.
