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!
