What is tallow?

Tallow is derived from rendered animal fat. Specifically, it is the fat from around the kidneys of the cow. I know the thought of putting fat on your skin can seem odd but in reality, it's something our ancestors have used for centuries. It has a saturated fat ratio that is identical to our own skin cells, meaning it promotes healing to damaged skin. Audhumla Tallow uses grass fed/finished beef suet that is packed with nutrients making it a skin miracle worker.

What is the benefit of using tallow?

Tallow has incredible benefits to the whole body. Skin is your biggest organ and absorbs everything you put on it. Tallow is 100% non-toxic and all natural, meaning you won’t be loading your body with harmful chemicals but instead, giving it the vitamins and nourishment it craves!

Tallow is rich in fat soluble vitamins (D, A, E, and K) and minerals. It is so similar to the structure of the human skin cell, meaning it holds the main components our skin needs to repair and rebuild itself.

Those main components are conjugated linoleic acid (Omega-3) that has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and palmitoleic acid (Omega-7) which is also the most active anti-microbial component in our sebum (skins natural oils), and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Where does the tallow come from?

The grass-fed and finished suet comes from local BC organic farms that do not use any pesticides on their plants or hormones in the raising of their cattle.

Does tallow smell like beef?

Don’t worry, people won’t be complimenting you on your new beef cologne. Tallow has a natural smell to it. We gently render and purify the tallow. We also add unique blends of essential oils to maximize the balms and whipped lotions benefits, and create a pleasing aroma. The naked tallow face tallow whip has a slight earthy smell.
