Benefits of Grass fed Tallow For Skin

So what is Tallow? In short, Tallow is rendered beef fat. Most people use it for cooking the same way people use lard (from pigs). Not only is it great for cooking, but it has also been used for skincare for ages. It’s the oldest form of natural skin moisturizer in the world!  It has many benefits and it’s a skin super food! Lets take a look at some of these benefits.

Tallow contains linoleic acid, which has been proven in studies to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.  Linoleic acid, or Vitamin F, absorbs easily and provides moisture to the skin.

It’s rich in Vitamins (A, D, E, K) and antioxidants. The vitamins tallow contains, helps produce collagen. Antioxidants contain anti-aging properties.

Tallow is easily absorbed by the skin. The skin is the biggest organ of the human body and absorbs most everything that is applied to it, good and bad. Tallow is similar to sebum, which is the oily, waxy product that lubricates and waterproofs our skin. The word “sebum” actually means “tallow” in latin. Sebum is made up of lipids (fats).  The lipids in tallow are primarily in the form of triglycerides, which make it compatible with our skin’s biology and wont clog your pores!

Tallow balm can be used for just about anything on anybody! Many use it as a diaper rash cream, treatments for eczema, itchy/dry/cracked skin, sunburn, stretch marks, cuts, the list is endless.
