RE-DISCOVERED BY MODERN SCIENCE....
Over the last 50 years, tallow has become widely replaced by overpriced, ultra-processed, synthetic & chemically suspect skincare ingredients. Plus a whole heap of water.
And yet, tallow has been used in skin care for millennia across cultures, with a proven track record of protecting and regenerating the skin.
Modern research now shows thaT....
- Tallow has a microbiome-friendly lipid profile very similar to our skin, which allows for deep and efficient active ingredient delivery. (a major problem for ultra-processed synthetic skincare)
- Tallow does not typically block your pores. It has a non-comedogenic rating of 2 (like Jojoba oil, Almond oil, & Macadamia nut oil)
- Tallow is rich in natural ceramide precursors that repair the skin barrier providing natural, long-term moisturising & resilience against aging, dry skin, acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.
- Tallow's natural CoQ10 provides powerful cellular energy support and antioxidant protection, working at the skin's deepest levels to enhance collagen production, strengthen the skin barrier, and combat signs of aging.
tallow stands out for its beneficial fatty acids ....
- Tallow is high in Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 that provide vital anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe irritated and sensitive skin & reduces redness/inflammation for conditions like; acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.
- Tallow is high in Oleic fatty acid (26g per 100g) which is deeply moisturising, and aids skin regeneration.
- Tallow is high in Stearic fatty acid (12.6g per 100g) that forms a protective barrier to prevent water loss.
- Tallow is high in Palmitic fatty acid (10.8g per 100g) that softens skin and fights bacteria.
The Essential Vitamins in Tallow: A Natural Skincare Powerhouse
When it comes to natural skincare ingredients, tallow stands out not just for its beneficial fatty acids, but also for its impressive vitamin content. This traditional ingredient contains a powerful combination of vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, each contributing to skin health in unique ways.
Vitamin A: The Skin Rejuvenator
Vitamin A in tallow exists in its most bioavailable form, making it particularly effective for skin health:
- Promotes natural cell turnover
- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Supports collagen production
- Assists in managing breakouts
- Helps even out skin tone
This makes it suitable for those who find synthetic retinol products way too harsh.
Vitamin D: The Protective Shield
Often called the "sunshine vitamin," the vitamin D in tallow offers numerous skin benefits:
- Supports skin immune function
- Helps with cell repair and regeneration
- Contributes to skin barrier strength
- Helps manage inflammatory skin conditions
- Supports healthy skin cell metabolism
The presence of vitamin D in tallow is particularly valuable since many people don't get enough from sun exposure alone.
Vitamin E: The Antioxidant Champion
As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E in tallow:
- Protects against environmental damage
- Helps preserve other vitamins in the skin
- Supports skin barrier function
- Provides moisturizing benefits
- Helps fight free radical damage
The natural vitamin E in tallow works synergistically with its other components, enhancing overall effectiveness.
Vitamin K: The Circulation Booster
Vitamin K plays several important roles in skin health:
- Helps improve circulation to the skin

- Helps reduce dark under-eye circles
- Assists in maintaining skin elasticity
- Supports proper blood coagulation for healing
This often-overlooked vitamin is crucial for maintaining healthy, resilient skin.
Vitamin B12: The Cellular Energiser
While less commonly discussed in skincare, vitamin B12 offers unique benefits:
- Supports cell production
- Helps reduce inflammation
- Assists in cell repair
- Contributes to skin metabolism
- Helps with hyperpigmentation
The presence of B12 in tallow makes it particularly unique among natural skincare ingredients.
