Tallow is animal fat that is rendered down to remove impurities and solidify the fat proteins.
Tallow skin care is actually something that is centuries old. In the Egyptian era they would use infused hippopotamus Tallow for their skin health.
Today, people have been rediscovering the benefits of tallow for skin.
So what is so great about putting Tallow on your skin anyway? As it turns out the ancient civilizations that used Tallow knew what they were doing.
If you’re new to the world of tallow skin care, let me introduce you. Meet the ultimate skin healing and soothing moisturizer of all time.
Prepare to be astonished. The moment you put some tallow balm on your epiderm and rub it in, you will know what I m talking about. It’s like our skin recognizes it and thirstfully drinks it up putting it yo immediate use.
Beef tallow is rendered fat from a cow. To render fat, you melt it and heat at a low temperature. Eventually, all the proteins solidify and the water evaporates. The solids are filtered from the fat, and once cooled, you’re left with pure fat.
Beef tallow is the most common type of tallow. Even low-quality beef tallow may be more nutritious than other animal types, since cows can convert the unhealthy fats they eat into healthier forms of energy.
The very healthiest beef tallow comes from grass-fed cattle. Grass-fed tallow is higher in healthy saturated fats, omega 3’s, stearic acid, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than ‘regular’ tallow. It also provides other fat-soluble nutrients like:
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K2
Vitamin B12
Choline
Many of the nutrients in grass fed tallow help to promote youthful skin by providing substances that our skin naturally loses as we age.
Tallow is extremely compatible with the oil that our skin naturally produces. It actually shares a similar biology. That’s one of the reasons why our skin is able to use tallow so effectively.
Compared to plant based oils, tallow provides skin with very intense moisture. You will recognize this immediately when you put it on your skin. There is nothing better than tallow for soothing and hydrating dry skin.
Tallow is not only great for repairing skin, but it also helps to prevent damage to skin. All of those skin friendly antioxidants and other nutrients keep skin healthy and strong.
The natural antimicrobial properties in tallow help to prevent acne and breakouts. Tallow also contains powerful anti inflammatory properties.
In conclusion, God has granted us an amazing source of natural food for our skin, take advantage and add Tallow to your skincare routine. ✨️
Sincerely ~The Tallow Queen
