@lilyhilltallowco: Beef tallow is more than “just animal fat.” Chemically, it is made up of a mixture of fatty acids, including oleic, stearic and palmitic acid. And while tallow comes from an animal source, many of these same fatty acids are already commonly found in skincare, including in plant oils and in our skin’s own surface lipids. Together, they help give tallow its rich emollient properties, helping to soften and smooth the skin while reducing moisture loss. So when you apply tallow, your skin is not simply being coated in “beef fat.” You are applying a naturally occurring mixture of fatty acids, many of which your skin is already very familiar with. Sometimes an ingredient sounds a lot stranger than it actually is once you look at the chemistry behind it.
