Restorative Fatty Acids
As the cooler weather sets in, the skin craves nourishment. Grass-fed tallow is rich in fatty acids that help boost the appearance of skin’s elasticity while also soothing irritated or dry patches.
Tallow’s high concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid means it’s rich in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, helping to calm stressed skin. Whether you have dry cuticles, irritated underarms, or dry, flaky skin, anyone may benefit from skin care products that feature tallow.
Responsibly Sourced is the Only Way to Go
If you’re going to use beef tallow on your skin, you may find it beneficial, if not imperative, to know how the tallow is sourced. Is it also foundational to the skincare brand you’re buying products from? Opting for grass-fed, ethically sourced and finished tallow ensures that you’re getting a clean, sustainable product made with respect for all parts of the animal.
Try a Decadent Natural Body Butter
While tallow offers multiple beauty benefits for the face, it can also support your skin from head to toe. A vanilla body butter with ingredients such as tallow, mango and shea butters, and almond extract could be an excellent daily moisturizer for you this fall and a great introduction to tallow products. Natural ingredients that actually work to help repair dry, damaged skin are an invaluable part of a healthy, holistic skincare routine.
