Tallow, or rendered animal fat, is made by melting raw fat (also called suet) until it is liquid. Beef tallow (rendered beef suet) has been used in cuisine, cosmetics, and health products for centuries.

Why Tallow Loves Your Skin

  • Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids: Anti-inflammatory support that helps heal and prevent eczema & rosacea.
  • Non-comedogenic: Won’t clog pores and supports collagen production.
  • Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K & B12: Deeply nourishes the skin with essential nutrients.
  • Stearic & oleic acids: Naturally found in skin’s outer layer; softening and regenerative.
  • Palmitoleic & palmitic acids: Compounds that help maintain a youthful glow.
Bottom line: Grass-fed beef tallow doesn’t just moisturize — it helps heal, restore, protect, and regenerate the skin’s natural barrier.
