Why tallow? And is it just a new skin craze?
Beef tallow has been used as a skin salve since the 1400s.
Before the word “moisturizer” was even invented, people healed dry, cracked, inflamed skin with rendered animal fat — rich in fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids your skin can actually use.
The modern skincare industry hates that.
Because if it’s that simple--If your skin can heal with three ingredients and no marketing budget — then all their serums, stabilizers, moisturizers and airless pumps start looking a little... unnecessary.
A 2015 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that traditional animal fat-based salves (like sheep and cow tallow) not only improve skin hydration, but show anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing activity superior to synthetic creams.
Let’s break that down:
-
Tallow contains Vitamin A, D, E, K — all critical for skin repair, elasticity, and regeneration.
-
Palmitoleic acid, found naturally in tallow, is a rare antimicrobial that also occurs in human sebum.
-
It’s bio-compatible, meaning your skin doesn’t fight it — it welcomes it.
These are not new discoveries. They’re just inconvenient for modern skincare brands that need to sell you 14 different steps and a $58 gel that expires in six months.
That’s why they don’t talk about us.
That’s why they call tallow “gross” or “unrefined.”
That’s why they call tallow “gross” or “unrefined.”
Because we’re the inconvenient proof that natural, simple, and effective is still a thing.
Our Beef Tallow isn’t just natural, it’s honest.
And your skin knows the difference.
