Beef tallow and suet:
a natural treasure for the skin
When it comes to taking care of the skin, we often turn to vegetable oils like sweet almond, argan, or even shea and cocoa butters. However, a timeless ingredient, used for generations, has managed to stand the test of time without ever losing its value: beef tallow.
Tallow is an animal fat obtained by rendering beef fat. Once purified and filtered, it becomes a white fat, solid at room temperature, similar in texture to shea butter.
Suet, for its part, is the beef fat found mainly around the kidneys and internal organs. It is this fat that contains the most nutrients and is the most valuable for the skin.
A Concentrate of Beneficial Vitamins
Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, beef tallow promotes cell renewal, improves skin elasticity, reduces inflammation, and is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from premature aging.
Why is Beef Tallow an Exceptional Care?
Long used in ointments, balms, and handmade soaps, beef tallow is full of benefits:
Rich in Fatty Acids
Suet is composed of palmitic acid and stearic acid, recognized for their ability to deeply nourish and restore the skin barrier.
A Natural Affinity with the Skin
Being very similar to human sebum, it easily penetrates without clogging the pores, thus preventing the appearance of new skin breakouts!
A Protective Shield Against Dehydration
The natural protective film it forms retains moisture while allowing the skin to breathe, making tallow a preferred ally for dry, sensitive, or redness-prone skin.
A Perfect Tolerance, Even for the Most Delicate Skin
Without preservatives, artificial fragrances, or additives, tallow is an ideal treatment for reactive skin, babies, and even areas that have been weakened after sun exposure or shaving.
Forgotten for a time, beef tallow has never ceased to be an essential ingredient in natural skincare. Its effectiveness and purity make it a timeless treasure, capable of giving the skin everything it needs, simply and naturally.
