Why our Tallow is the best
Beef tallow boasts a rich history of versatile applications, spanning culinary, household, and personal care purposes. It is a valuable source of some Vitamins, Choline, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, it contains tiny trace amounts of Vitamins A, D, E, and K, contributing to its nutritional profile. Comprising both monounsaturated and saturated fats, its utility extends across a wide spectrum.
TALLOW USES
Tallow offers remarkable advantages for skincare, characterized by its exceptional gentleness, making it suitable for many skin types. Its moisturizing properties surpass those of many plant-based alternatives. Another important aspect we love about Beef Tallow is that it often times gets thrown out or wasted during the processing of the meat. Its can be referred to as a waste product because in our society today its not wanted. We love that by using it in skincare we can use something that would otherwise be wasted contributing to sustainability efforts.
The quality of tallow is intricately linked to the dietary habits of the cow. Cattle raised on grain-based diets are different compared to grass fed and finished cows, as the fat tissues often store toxins and the fatty acid profile will vary. This underscores the significance of prioritizing grass-fed sources for skincare. Grass-fed tallow is notably richer in Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) and carotene, imparting a distinctive rich yellow hue to it.
The advantages of beef tallow are extensive and multifaceted, making it a valuable resource in various domains.
