Tallow is rendered fat from beef and was a vital ingredient in the lives of our ancestors for centuries; used in cooking, preserving food, making candles and even skin care. Unfortunately, tallow slowly went by the wayside being replaced with highly processed vegetable oils.
Tallow contains vitamins A, D, K, E and B12, Choline, CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) and other fatty acids, including oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid and others.
The body uses fats to provide the skin with all the necessary nutrients and building blocks for cells, supporting a healthy skin barrier and moisturizing it. Fatty compounds, or lipids, are essential for a healthy skin barrier.
