What is Beef Tallow?

Tallow is the rendered fat that comes from cows. The word sebum actually means tallow in Latin due to the fact that it is nearly identical to our skin’s natural oily substance made in our glands. Moreover, tallow is biologically similar to our cellular membranes in that tallow is over 50% saturated fat just like the lipids found in youthful, toned, and healthy skin. Tallow is the most versatile all natural skincare product on earth with uses from facial moisturizer to burns to acne to diaper rash.
