Why are olive oil and honey added?
With extra virgin olive oil (from Greece), which gives it its smooth texture, application is effortless. A splash of raw honey (from the flower meadows of Westland in the Netherlands) is added for antibacterial purposes. Sourced 100% from grass-fed, SKAL-certified cows that graze freely in Dutch nature parks.
Olive oil is crucial for the desired consistency in our cream. Without the oil, tallow would solidify into a hard balm instead of maintaining the soft and creamy texture we aim for. A small amount of olive oil works wonders. It ensures a high tallow content and preserves the skin-nourishing effect of the cream.
Additionally, we use raw honey for its remarkable antibacterial properties. This enhances the overall effectiveness of the cream and adds a natural element – which aligns with our commitment to quality and holistic skincare.
Is beef tallow good for the skin?
Yes, beef tallow (Tallow) has a positive effect on the skin. The reasons are its natural properties and nutrient composition.
Why beef tallow is valued as a skincare product:
Similarity to human skin: Beef tallow contains fatty acids that are very similar to the natural lipids of human skin. This allows it to penetrate the skin well. It helps to strengthen the natural skin barrier, retain moisture, and protect against dryness.
Nutrient-rich: Beef tallow contains many vitamins that are useful for skin care:
- Vitamin A supports cell renewal and promotes smooth and healthy skin.
- Vitamin D can help regenerate the skin and improve the overall complexion (the goal is a natural glow).
- Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and protects the skin from free radicals that can lead to premature skin aging.
- Vitamin K promotes healing and can help in the treatment of skin irritations and scars.
- Moisturizing: Tallow hydrates the skin. It helps regenerate dry, cracked skin and provides deep hydration without clogging the pores.
- Soothing for skin issues: The cream is good for people with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or very dry skin. Its rich texture and natural fatty acids help to relieve inflammation and soothe irritated skin.
- Free from synthetic chemicals: Tallow is a natural ingredient. It is often found in skincare products that avoid synthetic ingredients. Beef tallow is particularly appreciated by those seeking natural and unprocessed skincare alternatives.
Please note that this product comes from animals. However, when applied to the skin, the cream absorbs quickly and the scent fades rapidly.
No sun protection: The tallow cream does not replace sunscreen and offers no protection against UV radiation. Therefore, when spending time in the sun, you should additionally use a product with a designated sun protection factor.
Which skin types is the beef tallow cream suitable for?
Not every skin tolerates synthetic care – especially dry or irritated skin often reacts sensitively to long ingredient lists. Our tallow cream supports your skin with natural ingredients, is similar in structure to skin, and comes without unnecessary additives.
Cream with beef tallow is suitable for:
- Dry skin: Tallow cream provides intense moisture and supports the skin barrier.
- Sensitive skin: Beef tallow contains no irritating additives, is particularly well tolerated, and is also suitable for sensitive baby skin.
- Mature skin: The cream nourishes deeply, absorbs well, and works without greasiness.
- Irritated skin: Tallow can have a soothing effect and alleviate inflammation – for example, in cases of eczema or psoriasis.
- Normal Skin: Even without acute skin problems, beef tallow is a nourishing, natural alternative.
For oily or acne-prone skin, it is advisable to test the skin for compatibility.
