Grass-fed and grass-finished tallow is a highly beneficial ingredient for both skin and hair, largely due to its similarity to human sebum and its rich nutrient profile. It is packed with vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, as well as antioxidants and essential fatty acids. A key component is Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), an Omega-6 fatty acid found in high concentrations in grass-fed tallow. CLA plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration by allowing moisture to move freely in and out of cells, improving skin elasticity, and supporting the skin's barrier function. Tallow's biocompatibility allows it to be deeply absorbed into the skin, providing intense hydration and nourishment without a greasy feel. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it effective for soothing irritated skin, reducing redness and swelling, and combating conditions like acne and eczema. For hair, tallow can moisturize the scalp, reduce dandruff and itching, and promote a healthy environment for hair growth, while its nutrients strengthen hair strands and improve shine.
