Tallow is bio-identical to our skin's natural oils making it the perfect choice all skin-types, including sensitive skin and those suffering from skin disorders.
FULLY ABSORBS: The fatty acid composition of tallow is similar to the sebum produced by the skin, making it a biocompatible moisturizer. This means that tallow can be easily absorbed by the skin without clogging pores or causing irritation.
REPAIRS & REGENERATES: Tallow is a great source of vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, which provide essential nutrients for skin health. These vitamins can help protect the skin from free radical damage and promote cell regeneration.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Tallow contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an omega-6 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. This can help soothe skin irritation, redness, and eczema.
MOISTURIZING: Tallow is rich in fatty acids/triglycerides, specifically: oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which act as occlusive agents to trap moisture in the skin. This can help hydrate dry, flaky, and sensitive skin.
OTHER BENEFITS: Some studies suggest that tallow may have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which could further benefit skin health.
WAYMACRES® TALLOW is locally sourced, organic, grass-fed & grass finished tallow - whatever beef fat we cannot get from our own cows we get from a local butcher. The tallow is grass-fed and grass-finished.
NO HORMONES or ANTIBIOTICS: because we all know why those aren't good.
ORGANIC: the diet of the cows is organic grass that is free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
GRASS-FED & GRASS-FINISHED: Not all grass-fed cattle are grass-finished. In fact, to get a fatter cow, many farmers will finish their beef off in a small pen and feed them a heavy grain diet in the last few months to fatten them up. Our tallow comes from cattle that are grass-finished and grain fed or finished.
DRY RENDERED: dry rendering is the process of simply harvesting the suet (the organ fat which is the cleanest and full of the most nutrients) and heating it slowly over the course of several hours to several days. Finally, it is skimmed and strained multiple times. Once moisture is introduced (as is with wet-rendered tallow), an environment for bacteria to grow is created. Dry rendering not only ensures the retention of the nutrients that make tallow so good for your skin but also increases the stability and shelf-life of the products.
Produced in small batches by hand to ensure the highest quality of all ingredients and final products!
The consistency of tallow is greatly affected by its temperature. Tallow has a low melting point of 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Store at or below room temperature and out of direct sunlight. If product liquifies, simply cool it to return to optimal consistency. If product hardens, simply massage between fingers before applying.
Reviews
This stuff heals and soothes. I struggle with dry and cracked hands in the winter. Other lotions and balms seem as though they only protect at best. This stuff brings healing and soothing to my hands. Thank you!
