Tallow Me Pretty

Why Use Tallow?

Tallow has been used for thousands of years for its moisturizing, protective, & healing properties. While tallow lost popularity with the industrialization of the skincare industry, we couldn't be more passionate to get "back to our roots". We are harnessing the traditional & natural approach of clean products that actually work. Tallow Me Pretty was founded by two mommas on a search for eczema relief for their kids. Discovering the benefits of tallow they went to work to find the best of the best ingredients in each of our formulations. From the medicinal properties of the ingredients; the type and source of tallow- USDA organic, grass-fed grass finished suet, USDA organic essentials oils, we take caution in using non-phytotoxic oils. We use the proper dilution. The herbs we infused are local farmer grown whenever possible as well as our raw honey, our extensive rendering process: dry rendering only, we truly believe we have formulated the best Tallow skincare products.

What exactly is Tallow? Plainly stated, it is rendered beef fat. Historically Tallow has been used for skincare for centuries! Tallow actually mimics your skin natural composition, we are animals, not plants. Tallow is naturally full of vitamins: A, D, E & K and essential fatty acids. These vitamins play crucial roles in skin health. Vitamin A, for example, is known for its potential to promote skin cell turnover and repair. It also has a high concentration of fatty acids, which are similar to the oils produced by human skin. Tallow's composition is so similar to the natural lipids found in the skin which allows it to be easily absorbed and helps in restoring the skin's natural lipid barrier. The fatty acids in tallow also contribute to its moisturizing properties. They can help hydrate the skin, making it softer and more supple.
