What is tallow?
Tallow is the fat or suet from a cow that has gone through a rendering process. Tallow has been used for centuries as a ritualistic skincare product and even for food. It is ancestral skincare. 
 
Why is it the best option for skincare?
It contains vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12. No plant product contains the same combination of these fat-soluble vitamins. Grass-fed tallow also contains conjugated linoleic acid which has anti-inflammatory properties. Tallow contains omega-9 fatty acid and oleic acid, which are important in helping all other nutrients penetrate the skin. Palmitic acid is another nutrient of tallow. This acid helps to improve the skin's barrier function. Tallow has stearic acid, which helps to improve your skin's flexibility, repair damaged skin, and aid in suppleness. Tallow also contains omega-7 fatty acid which is one of our skin's basic building blocks.
 
What are the benefits?
Tallow is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, & antimicrobial. It also contains a small amount of SPF. Its construction is similar to that of human skin cell biology making it extremely hydrating and moisturizing without the greasy/oily layer. Since it contains all of these benefits it’s one of the best remedies for any skin issue.
 
Taking care of your skin is just one step to rewilding yourself. But it’s a gentle way to incorporate an ancient, holistic ritual into your life & ditch all the endocrine disrupting creams/lotions. 
 
Safe for pregnant/nursing women & babies.
