Beef Tallow for Skin
Beef tallow provides long-lasting moisturization, but it has many other benefits. It has fatty acids that mimic your own skin’s sebum. This means that it is less likely to clog pores. It is packed with all of the fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K and B12. Collectively, these vitamins promote collagen production, skin repair, hydration and elasticity and vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant.
Beef tallow naturally has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it great for skin problems like psoriasis and eczema. Since beef tallow is similar to our own skin’s sebum, it is a great choice for people with sensitive skin.
It is important to note that beef tallow preparations for skin may not have additives like spf sun protection. Putting an oil on your skin and going out into the sun can make a sunburn more likely.
Some beef tallow preparations may have skin-irritating additives.
