Why Tallow?
Our ancestors were big fans of ‘nose to tail’, not wasting any part of the animal. Tallow, rendered grass fed beef fat, was a staple. They used it to treat wounds, soothe dry skin, and protect against harsh weather. Its rich, nourishing properties kept their skin soft, resilient, and healthy!
But why is tallow so beneficial for the skin?
Rich in Essential Nutrients! Tallow is loaded with vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, all crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin A promotes cell regeneration and collagen production, keeping your skin firm and youthful. Vitamin D and E provide powerful antioxidant protection, combating free radicals and preventing premature aging. Vitamin K supports skin healing and can help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Vitamin B12 “The skin energizer” is vital in promoting healthy skin. It aids in the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the skin cells, resulting in vibrant and radiant complexion. Additionally, vitamin B12 supports the metabolism of skin cells, helping them regenerate and renew more efficiently. This rejuvenating effect can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, promoting a more youthful appearance. Vitamin B12 gives your skin a natural boost of energy and vitality, making it a valuable addition to your beauty routine.
Natural Emollient. The fatty acid profile of tallow closely resembles that of our own human skin oils, making it an excellent skin moisturizer. It contains oleic acid (omega-9), palmitic acid, and steric acid, known for their hydrating and anti- inflammatory properties. These fatty acids help to lock in moisture, soothe irritation, and strengthen the skins barrier, keeping it healthy and protected.
Anti- inflammatory and Anti- microbial properties make it ideal for soothing irritated skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Additionally, its anti- microbial properties help to keep harmful bacteria at bay, reducing the risk of infections and breakouts.
Non-comedogenic. Contrary to what you might think, tallow does not clog pores. Its natural composition allows it to be easily absorbed by the skin without clogging pores. This makes it ideal for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
Bonus Benefits: Tallow’s skin friendly molecular structure. One of the remarkable benefits of tallow for the skin is its similar molecular structure to our own skin cells. This similarity allows for easy absorption and compatibility with our body’s natural processes. Tallow contains a high concentration of fatty acids, such as steric acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid, which are similar to the lipids found in our skin. This similarity allows tallow to penetrate deeply into our skin, nourishing and moisturizing it from within without clogging pores.
Due to its affinity with our skin, tallow can help restore and maintain the skins natural barrier function. It forms a protective layer on the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and shielding it from external pollutants. This barrier not only helps to lock in hydration but also promotes a smoother and more supple complexion.
By harnessing the skin-friendly properties of tallow, you can experience improved skin hydration, increased elasticity, and a more youthful appearance. So, if you’re looking for a natural and easily absorbed ingredient to incorporate into your skincare routine, tallow may be the perfect choice.
Not all tallow is equal. Grass fed tallow produces fat that is richer in nutrients and free from harmful chemicals and antibiotics. Once dry rendering is done it is a vitamin packed oil ready to be created into soaps, and skin balms to feed our skin!

“Deep Rooted has so many great products! But if I had to pick, my two favorites are the magnesium lotion and tallow balm. The first product I tried was tallow balm. What a wonderful and versatile moisturizer! Not only do I use it as my facial moisturizer but have found it is also just what I needed for my feet. I have always had dry, cracked heels and have found the tallow balm to be one of the best ways to maintain healthy skin on my heels. It works best after an evening shower or bath. I simply apply the tallow balm on my feet, concentrating on the heels, slip on a pair of cozy socks and let all the moisturizing goodness begin. By morning, I'm ready to wear my favorite sandals with confidence. And then Lydia suggested I try the magnesium lotion. Since I was completely sold on the tallow balm, I said, sure!. The first time I had a middle of the night leg/calf cramp, I applied the magnesium lotion thinking, "I don't know if it will help, but it certainly can't hurt.” I was pleasantly surprised to find the cramp disappeared and I was able to go back to sleep without any residual pain! Thank you so much Lydia and Deep Rooted for creating quality skincare products!” - Glenda, Kansas
