Can I use your Tallow as a moisturiser on my body or face?Updated a year ago
Absolutely! 🙌
Many have reported incredible benefits from using tallow on their skin including treating conditions such as eczema and acne.
Here’s why Tallow may benefit the skin…
Our cell membranes are made up of fatty acids. They are ~50% saturated fat. Tallow’s make up is almost identical, which nourishes cell membranes and keeps your skin moisturised.
Sebum, the oily substance that moisturizes and protects the skin actually translates to tallow in latin. They are very similar in makeup with both being comprised of triglycerides.
A few more explanations:
High-fat diets can reduce inflammation
Higher fat diets reduce insulin, which is implicated in acne
CLA is antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory
Vitamin D and Vitamin E are antioxidants
