The Surprising Skincare Secret You Didn’t Know You Needed

It’s time to ditch those mass-produced, chemical-laden skincare products, because tallow-based skincare is back with a vengeance. 100% natural, nutrient-rich, and loaded with skin-loving properties, tallow is the best-kept secret in skincare.

Beef fat for skincare? I know, it sounds crazy—trust me, that’s what I thought at first, but it turns out, it’s not crazy at all. Tallow, specifically grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow, has a long and rich history as a base for soap, ancient skincare remedies, candles, and even cooking oil. It’s a staple that’s been part of human history for centuries. In fact, humans have always revered animal fats. So, it makes sense that tallow is making a big comeback in the world of soap, skincare, and cooking. This is not just a passing fad— it’s back for good.

What Makes Grass-Finished Tallow So Special?

Tallow made from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef suet (the fat around the kidneys) is rich in vitamins, skin-friendly fatty acids, and other beneficial nutrients. Let’s take a closer look at what tallow has to offer for your skin.

Why Grass-Finished Matters

Grass-finished cattle eat a natural diet of grasses, which means the tallow derived from them contains significantly higher levels of these beneficial nutrients compared to conventionally fed cattle. As a result, grass-fed and grass-finished tallow is an incredibly potent ingredient in skincare, offering nourishing, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Why Tallow Is Superior to Other Skincare Bases

You’ve probably heard of skincare products made with shea butter, cocoa butter, or mango butter. While these plant-based fats are wonderful, they simply can’t compare to grass-finished beef tallow when it comes to bioavailability and sustainability.

Bioavailability: Our skin absorbs tallow far better than plant-based fats, making it highly effective for delivering nutrients deep into the skin.

Sustainability: Tallow is sourced locally, supporting our farmers, our land, and economy. Meanwhile, plant-based fats are all imported, meaning they don’t support local farmers or the environment as well as tallow does.

The Ancient Tallow difference
