3 Reasons Tallow Belongs in Your Summer Skincare Routine


Summer asks a lot of your skin. Heat, UV exposure, saltwater, and dry air all challenge your skin. These factors can disrupt the moisture barrier, leaving your skin feeling dry and looking dull. However, tallow-based skincare helps tip the scales back in your favor.

A skincare routine that incorporates products made with ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows can give your skin exactly what it needs to withstand relentless heat and dry air. Summer is still here for a while, so it’s time to bring tallow into the picture.

Tallow Moisturizes the Skin in a Real Way

One of the most compelling benefits of beef tallow for skin care is how closely it mirrors the skin's lipid makeup. Tallow is rich in key compounds also found in your skin. This includes a number of fatty acids, which help bind skin cells together.

In other words, tallow is biocompatible with your skin. This comes with several benefits, including the ability for your skin to readily absorb tallow and to “put it to work,” hydrating and moisturizing the skin.

Tallow Supports Your Skin's Protective Barrier

The stratum corneum, also known as the moisture barrier, is the outermost layer of your skin. It functions as a barrier between you and everything your environment throws at it, like the sun, heat, and even harsh skincare products.

A tallow moisturizer for face use, for instance, works to gently rebuild and support your skin’s natural moisture barrier. It comes right back to the fatty acids, lipids, and other compounds in tallow that work with the skin. A nightly tallow moisturizer can help repair and reinforce this barrier as you sleep!

Tallow Has a Place in Every Part of Your Routine

Tallow is a versatile natural ingredient and can be called upon for different parts of your routine, morning, noon, or night. It can even show up in your sunscreen! A sensitive face sun cream crafted with ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows delivers mineral protection (thanks to non nano zinc oxide) alongside those same moisturizing, barrier-supporting fats.

You get sun care that supports your skin’s health in many different ways. Plus, tinted serums and lip and cheek balms can help even out your tone before heading out. That’s a daily routine you can feel good about.
