We know the importance of healthy fats in our diet, so why not feed our skin with the same key nutrients? Your skin craves the primal power of nature’s finest – the luxurious lather of tallow.
Tallow has a long history of traditional use as skincare, dating centuries back to ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations. Before the days of synthetic chemicals and unnatural substances in skincare, our ancestors used tallow not only as nourishment for the skin, but also to heal the skin.
Tallow’s benefits extend farther than providing moisture and nourishment to skin. Its nutrient-dense makeup can be used to heal wounds, burns, and rashes, and to alleviate eczema and psoriasis symptoms.
We source our tallow from grass-fed cows because grass-fed tallow contains higher levels of essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as beneficial omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Additionally, grass-fed animals are raised on pasture and often in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly practice.
- Vitamin A: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, supports the growth of vibrant skin cells, and reinforces tissue strength to preserve a firm, smooth, and youthful skin complexion. It addresses a spectrum of skin concerns, from the effects of aging to acne.
- Vitamin D: Plays a pivotal role in skin cell development, repair, metabolic processes, and immune functions. It acts as a shield, revitalizing the skin by safeguarding against free radicals, thus countering premature aging.
- Vitamin K: Exerts a significant influence on skin tone, texture, and overall skin health. It alleviates skin inflammation and irritations while expediting the skin's natural healing processes.
- Vitamin E: A formidable antioxidant that diligently repairs and reverses the harm inflicted by free radicals. It bestows profound hydration and facilitates the renewal of the skin's appearance, promoting a revitalized look and feel.
Tallows skin-supporting benefits don't stop there! Tallow possesses other healing properties including:
- Elevated levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for various skin conditions. CLA also increases collagen production in the skin. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, which can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- A rich composition of other fatty acids, such as oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. These fatty acids deeply moisturize the skin, creating a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and promotes hydration.
Tallow is almost bio-identical to the oil naturally produced by human skin, ensuring seamless compatibility with our natural makeup. It’s also non-comedogenic, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.
And, the list goes on! It’s evident that tallow is the ultimate skin nourishment and we hope you love it as much as we do!
