Skincare actually begins in the gut, but sometimes we need some topical help as well. Eating clean, unprocessed food, avoiding seed oils, and sunlight exposure all help heal the gut thereby healing the skin.
Adding extra moisture helps, too! Our Tallow Face Cream is jam-packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow, hyaluronic acid & tropical butters.
First, lets discuss tallow. Why tallow? Tallow is rich in fatty acids and Omega-3s which helps the skin retain moisture and are similar to our skins natural oils so it absorbs easily while improving the protective barrier.
Tallow is an amazing wound healer because it is so high in cholesterol which provides skin the building blocks needed to regenerate skin cells.
Here's an example of whipped tallow for wounds. One of our chickens scratched my eye and within 5 days, it was completely healed using only the tallow.

In ezcema, ceramides must be replenished and the tight junctions between cells is the main barrier to most moisturizers; however, because tallow has smaller molecules, it is able to pass through to help replenish needed ceramides to heal eczema.
Tallow contains vitamins and minerals that help create collagen.
Most beauty and skin care products contain harmful ingredients such as parabens, petroleum, formaldehyde releasers and phthalates. Did you know that "clean" and "natural" can be used on any product regardless of whether its actually clean and natural? The best way to navigate this is by knowing which ingredients to avoid and learning about the companies producing the products. Chances are if its from P&G, its far from natural...
But getting back to tallow, a recent study showed that tallow-based soap was efficacious as a disinfectant and anti-infective for wound healing versus non-tallow based soap. The same research discovered that tallow increased hydration and moisture in the skin, and additionally, tallow helped psoriasis and dermatitis by decreasing IgE levels.
