WAGYU BEEF TALLOW

---

Beef tallow is 50% saturated fat, 42% monounsaturated fat and 4% polyunsaturated fat.

In its original form, it is a hard, waxy, dry, crumbly substance.

After rendering (literally just melting it on low heat and straining out any meaty bits) it becomes an amazing, healthy cooking fat that can be used in any recipe calling for oil or fat. As it is a fairly neutral oil, there is a noticeable scent but it is not overpowering or offensive — much like leaf lard. The fat will smell pleasantly clean. It has a very high smoke point and stored in the refrigerator, it lasts forever without oxidizing or going off, unlike many plant oils.

Tallow is a very traditional cooking fat and a primary ingredient in the traditional Native American preparation of pemmican.

Tallow is also an incredible moisturizer and my go-to come winter for skincare.

I only use it on my face at night as the last step in my skincare. I recommend you do the same as it can be heavy for daytime usage. For the rest of your body, go nuts at any time, it’s wonderfully moisturizing and soothing. Your skin feels hydrated, baby soft, and utterly replenished.

Tallow is rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid – all known for their abilities to deeply penetrate the skin and prevent water loss from the skin’s surface. It’s also full of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K!

Tallow is also loaded with antioxidants, which can reduce oxidative stress and signs of aging. They also inhibit microbial growth and oxidation of the product itself, which increases its shelf-life and makes for an anti-inflammatory ingredient for skin care.

I think a better question is, what can’t tallow balm be used for?! Tallow balm is such a versatile product that can be used for anything from a simple moisturizer to a therapeutic treatment.
