Tallow mimics the fatty acids, vitamins, micronutrients and minerals found in human skin. This 'skin-identical' composition makes tallow incredibly compatible with different skin types.

Beef tallow specifically contains naturally occurring fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, plus conjugated linoleic acid and niacin. Naturally packed with a dense concentration of fatty acids, beef tallow increases hydration by bringing natural oil production back into balance. 

For centuries, our ancestors used animal fats for cooking, to make candles, medicinal salves and poultices, and for cosmetic purposes.

Absorbed quickly as a moisturizer, tallow functions like a barrier cream, best used as the last step in a skincare routine or left overnight. As a barrier cream on the skin's surface, tallow may serve the purpose of a makeup primer, as no product applied afterwards will be able to penetrate the skin.
