Tallow Balm

This nutrient-dense ingredient melts into the skin to work synergistically to restore skin barrier function for lasting hydration and skin healing at a cellular level.

Over the last 50 years, tallow has become widely misunderstood, displaced by the rise in petrochemicals in skincare. And yet, it has been used in skin care for millennia across cultures, with a proven track record of protecting and regenerating the skin.

Beef tallow specifically contains naturally occurring fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, plus conjugated linoleic acid and niacin. Importantly, tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins and their activators which work together harmoniously to improve cell regeneration, fine lines, skin tone, and the appearance of UV-damaged skin. Naturally packed with a dense concentration of fatty acids, beef tallow increases hydration by bringing natural oil production back into balance. 

Today, modern science is starting to tell the story of what ancient healers already knew. Tallow can heal, nurture and protect the skin. Tallow has earned its spot in modern day skincare.

Is tallow good for your skin?

Mimicking the fatty acids, vitamins, micronutrients and minerals found in human skin, grass fed tallow is good for your skin. It's balanced and 'skin-identical' composition makes grass fed tallow compatible with different skin types.

It has the ability to closely mimic your skin and improve skin health due to containing healthy fats which closely match our own natural oils. It's especially beneficial for sensitive or dry skin. It keeps skin supple and can help speed up the regeneration of dry and cracked skin.

Purified tallow won't clog pores for most people and has a low comedogenic score. It's a common misconception that tallow will clog pores. In reality, tallow is unique compared to other skincare products, as an emollient with semi-occlusive properties.

While tallow helps to create a protective barrier on your skin that locks in hydration, it doesn't clog pores because of its innate ability to mimic your skin's lipid barrier.

With a rich fatty acid composition, bioavailability of niacin, and naturally occurring vitamins A and E, tallow is effective at working with your sebaceous glands to regulate oil production, support skin barrier function, and influence an anti-inflammatory response.

Does tallow help sensitive skin? With conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and niacin occurring naturally in beef tallow, it has anti-inflammatory properties to help combat types of dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and extreme dryness.
