What are the benefits of using tallow on your skin?
When it comes to skincare, we often look for natural and effective ingredients that can work wonders for our skin. Tallow, which is rendered animal fat, might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, tallow has been used for centuries for its numerous benefits for the skin.
One of the biggest benefits of using tallow on your skin is that it is incredibly moisturizing. Tallow contains high amounts of natural fatty acids that can help hydrate your skin and improve its overall texture. It can also help prevent dryness and flakiness, which can make your skin look dull and lifeless.
Tallow is also rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are all essential for healthy skin. These vitamins can help reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve skin elasticity. This can lead to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin look more youthful and vibrant.
Another benefit of using tallow on your skin is that it is non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. This can be especially beneficial for people with acne-prone or oily skin, as it can help prevent breakouts and promote clearer skin.
Overall, using tallow on your skin can provide numerous benefits for your skin's health and appearance. If you're looking for a natural and effective ingredient to add to your skincare routine, tallow might just be the answer you're looking for.
Why should I use tallow balms?
Tallow balms are an excellent choice for natural, non-toxic skin care. Tallow and jojoba oil are easily absorbed into the skin and provide deep hydration and nourishment.
Are tallow balms suitable for all skin types?
Yes, tallow balms are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. Our products are made with natural, non-toxic ingredients that are gentle on the skin. As always when trying new products on your skin, please do a patch test first!
What makes Tallowful's tallow balms different from other skin care products?
Our balms are handcrafted in small batches using high-quality, natural ingredients. We believe in keeping our ingredient list short and simple. We only use non-toxic, sustainable ingredients. Our products are free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and other harmful additives commonly found in commercial skin care products.
Are Tallowful's products cruelty-free?
Yes, all of our products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals. We believe in using only ethical and sustainable ingredients in our products.
How long does the tallow balm last?
The lifespan of a tallow balm depends on a few factors, such as how often you use it and how much you apply. A little goes a long way. Typically 1 oz jars last anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
How do I store my tallow balm?
Tallow has a melting point of 95 degrees. Keep your tallow balm out of direct sunlight and store at room temperature. If for some reason your tallow does melt, give it a stir and put it in the refrigerator to firm it up. This will not change the properties of the tallow balm. Make sure not to get water in your jar as water will cause bacterial growth.
How do you infuse your jojoba oil?
This is a labor of love! We take dry botanicals and myrrh/frankincense gums from local stores, hand grind to get maximum surface absorption, and slowly heat infuse the jojoba oil. This can take anywhere up to 10 days.
Are the tallow balms safe to use for my face?
We recommend using the Original for your face as it is the simplest. Jojoba oil and tallow are both non-comedogenic and do not clog pores.
Can I use the tallow balms on children and babies?
YES! All of our tallow balms are safe to use on children and babies. We recommend starting with the Original if your child has sensitivities. Always perform a patch test to determine any unknown allergies.
