Tallow Balm
Tallow skincare is centuries old. Turns out, our ancestors knew what they were doing!
Tallow is rendered beef fat and while that seems bizarre to some, it is extremely compatible with our skin’s sebum (oil). This allows our skin to use it effectively by providing an intense moisture while still being noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores). Tallow also has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Tallow naturally contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, E, and K2, along with vitamin B12. All of these are essential for healthy, nourished skin. The following nutrients are also found in tallow:
•Alpha linoleic acid and linoleic acid: known as omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that maintain the structure and barrier function of skin. They are also helpful for anti-inflammatory and immune responses in the skin.
•Stearic acid and oleic acid: fatty acids found in our skin and sebum. Stearic acid helps to repair and improve skin and the skin’s barrier function. Oleic acid helps beneficial nutrients penetrate the skin.
•Conjugated linoleic acid: has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is antimicrobial.
•Palmitoleic acid: another powerful antimicrobial that is also one of the building blocks of our skin which decreases as we age.
•Palmitic acid: improves smoothness and aides the skin’s barrier function.
Tallow balm is similar to a firm salve and replaces lotion, face serum, wrinkle cream, diaper balm, medicated creams…you get it! And a little goes a LONG WAY!
