According to the above-mentioned study from Dermato Endocrinology, vitamin D (also found in tallow) induces the expression of antimicrobial peptide genes in human skin and plays a significant role in preventing opportunistic infections. Moreover, grass-fed tallow contains conjugated linoleic acid or CLA. Because of this, when we are rendering tallow for use in skin care, we prefer the wet method. The wet method of rendering tallow is slightly more involved but it leaves you with a beautiful, odorless tallow. I’ve always followed this video to render tallow for making tallow balm. How to Make Tallow Balm

Tallow balm is the most amazing skincare product ever. It is simple, pure, and the most natural thing you’ll ever put on your skin.Once the tallow is purified to your liking, it’s time to store it. You can either store it in chunks, or melt it down and pour it into jars. If you plan to make soap with it, now is a good time to weigh out the amounts you’ll need for batches of soap. We throw no shade at wrinkles or acne—they are normal conditions that happen as our skin changes and ages. Years ago, when I misplaced my regular moisturizer in a move, I discovered by happy accident that tallow is uniquely compatible with our skin’s biology, leaving it supple and nourished after use.Rich infat soluble vitamins A, D, and K along witha saturated fat ratio that closely resembles what ourcells use to maintain integrity, it absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue behind. Once all of the tallow is rendered, you’ll see any gristly parts sink to the bottom, and all of the fat will have melted into golden tallow. The time it takes to render depends on how big or small your chunks of tallow are. You know it’s done rendering when you can’t see any pieces raw fat left. Diaper rash? Tallow balm heals rashes in record time. Too much sun? Tallow balm to the rescue. Tallow balm is even amazing as an anti-aging face cream.

In the 1950s, researchers first began advocating for a lower-fat diet since animal fats were being linked to development of coronary heart disease. However, since this time we’ve come to understand that foods high in fat and cholesterol actually provide certain health benefits. Notice the bottom of the tallow cake. It will have brownish sediment on the bottom. These are the impurities that the salt has pulled out of the tallow. Those impurities make the tallow softer and and to have a beef smell. Scrape the brown places off so that you’re left with only white tallow.After it’s finished with as many purifying steps you want to do, you can either store the tallow in a big cake with plenty of airflow around it. Keep it in the open air so that any remaining water can evaporate, or you may end up with mold.

When you use just enough, your skin will drink it right in, and it won’t leave a greasy residue on your skin. If you do feel like tallow is too oily or greasy, you’re using way too much. Can you use tallow for oily skin? For an unbeatable anti-aging tool, apply the balm upwardly over your cheeks, chin, forehead, and between your brows. Give yourself a mini face massage, in essence, which promotes blood flow to the area and helps iron out fine lines. Thankfully, after changing our diet to primarily real, whole foods and incorporating nutrient dense foods like liver, most of the skin issues that I’ve always had have been completely resolved. However, occasionally in the winter months when the air is dry, I can still get a bit of dry skin. These rare occurrences are what first introduced me to tallow balm.Like coconut oil, warm tallow has liquid consistency with bright gold color, but when it's cooled, it hardens, and the color changes to a soft cream. No, tallow is noncomedogenic ( source). Since it is so compatible with how our skin is made and our skin’s natural sebum, tallow works with our skin to moisturize, soothe, and repair it without clogging pores. If you want a tallow face cream for acne prone skin, I would make whipped tallow balm and add the Zit Fighter Synergy from Plant Therapy. It is full of skin clearing essential oils, and works so well with all the nutrients in grass fed tallow. These are the most frequent benefits of using beef tallow for skin: Preventing Dry Skin With Highly Moisturizing Properties For whipped tallow balm, pour liquid balm mixture into a large mixing bowl. Allow to solidify at room temperature. When solid, whip with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Store in glass jar.

One of the core tenets of the GAPS™ Protocol is detoxification, including the “detoxing” of what we put on our bodies via skincare, body care, & household toxins. To make the whipped version, you do exactly the same thing as you would in the solid version. However, after your tallow and olive oil are mixed, instead of pouring them into a jar to store, let them solidify in a mixing bowl. Once they have solidified, mix with an immersion blender to create a texture akin to whipped cream. The downside to whipped tallow balm is that it doesn’t store as well due to the infusion of air. But it does create a more luxurious texture that is very easy to apply. Can You Make Scented Tallow Balm? Why is tallow good for your skin? It’s rich in fatty acids that help form the lipids that keep skin protected and moisturized.
