About Grass-Fed Tallow

Moisturization: Tallow is rich in fatty acids such as oleic and palmitic acid, which can help hydrate and moisturize the skin.

Vitamin Content: May contain fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health—especially grass-fed and finished tallow

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Oleic acid, found in tallow, has anti-inflammatory properties that could benefit the skin.

Compatibility with Skin Lipids: Tallow is said to closely resemble the natural oils produced by the skin, making it potentially suitable for various skin types.

Why Grass-Fed?

Grass-fed/finished beef and tallow are often considered superior due to their higher levels of beneficial nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Additionally, grass-fed animals are believed to produce tallow with a more favorable fatty acid profile, contributing to potential skincare benefits.

Environmentally Conscious & Responsible

Opting for grass-fed beef tallow from animals raised through regenerative agriculture practices presents environmental advantages. Ruminant grazing aligns with regenerative principles, promoting soil health, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity, making it a conscientious choice for both skincare enthusiasts and environmentally conscious consumers.
