Tallow is a nutrient-rich fat that is rendered from animals, in our case, cows. Tallow has been used for skincare for centuries because its fatty acid profile closely mirrors our skin’s own natural oils. This means you only need a little bit to help to lock in moisture and support your skins barrier.

Unlike many modern moisturizers made with water, alcohol, fillers, or synthetic ingredients, tallow works with your skin’s biology instead of against it. That’s why it’s especially loved by people with dry, sensitive, or compromised skin.
