In skincare today, the products you use can make a world of difference. With complex beauty routines and a multitude of chemical-laden products, there's something refreshing about going back to basics. At Long Farm Naturals, we’re proud to offer a natural skincare alternative that’s been used for centuries—tallow.

 

Here are a few things you may not know about tallow:

  • Tallow, rendered from the fat of grass-fed animals, is a powerhouse ingredient that’s often overlooked in modern skincare. 
  • Tallow is a natural, effective moisturizer that is rich in vitamin E, A, D, and K. It supports the healing of your skin, and is eco friendly.
  • Tallow closely mirrors the composition of human sebum, helping reinforce the skin's natural barrier, enhancing moisture retention and reducing water loss.
  • It supports cell turnover, collagen production, and skin repair, while also providing antioxidant protection and aiding in wound healing.
  • The presence of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) gives tallow anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it helpful for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
  • Due to its saturated fat content, tallow is highly stable and resistant to rancidity, making it a durable ingredient in skincare formulations. 

 

And here are just a few of the ways we use tallow as a skincare product:

  • Moisturizer: Beef tallow is an excellent natural moisturizer due to its emollient properties, making it ideal for dry or cracked skin.
  • Balms and Ointments: It’s used in the formulation of balms for soothing irritated skin, chapped lips, or dry hands and feet.
  • Healing Salves: Its anti-inflammatory properties make it effective in treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
  • Anti-Aging Creams: The high vitamin A and E content promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Lip Care: Beef tallow is often used in lip balms to help hydrate and protect the delicate skin on the lips.

 

If you have sensitive skin, consider doing a patch test first, applying tallow to a small area first, before using it all over your body. While we have found tallow to be safe and highly beneficial for sensitive skin, you always want to be safe!

Our skin was not made to be worn out by products; thats why tallow is a great, completely natural option. At Long Farm Naturals, we offer a variety of products, completely natural and organic, perfect for your skin. Choose from our selection of
