Living up to the HYPE- Beef Tallow
What is Beef Tallow and Why Does it Belong in your Skincare Routine?
Forever, we’ve all been searching for a compound that moisturizes your skin without all the drawbacks from the conventional, industrial moisturizes found at our large department stores.
Free of alcohols, fillers, and endocrine-disrupting fragrances, tallow also posses a handful of benefits. Its full of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, & K) and fatty acids. Many people see the word “vitamin” and their eyes light up. However, in healthcare and clinical research we’re beginning to understand the vital importance of fatty acids in disease, especially those chronic in nature with resolvins, protectins, and other fatty acid-derived compounds. So, why would our skin be any different? Our body loves to take absorbable (bioavailable) nutrients that it can stabilize and transform into usable, highly effective compounds. The fatty acids in tallow mimic the natural oils found in our skin that perform a slew of effects from anti-inflammation, barrier improvement, collagen support, delivery of nutrients and hydration, among many more. Since tallow mimics the skin’s natural oils so well, its highly absorbable.
Alright, well I’m convinced. Now how do I implement this into my routine? One large purpose people utilize tallow for, especially in Wisconsin is for the lasting hydration effects. Myself, I am prone to the dry cracking on my hands where tallow has always been the silver bullet.
Tallow and tallow-containing products are typically thicker (a little goes a long way) so I always recommend using them at night before bed so overnight it can fully soak-in, absorb, and prepare your face to shine in the morning- ready for the day. At Renew & Restore we offer many tallow-containing products- our essential tallow creams that come in numerous scents and unscented, so we’ll have one that everybody will love. We also have our longevity cream that is tallow-based. On top of the “longevity” effects, this cream also has the benefits of tallow. You can use one or the other or both. Find these products at our storefront! (https://www.renewrestore.co/shop)
