Due to popular demand, we're bringing you this Whipped Beef Tallow in addition to our traditional rendered Tallow. This whipped version takes this rendered fat and incorporates air into it, creating a light, fluffy, and creamy texture. Tallow is the result of rendering down beef suet. "Rendered" means it's been melted down and purified to remove impurities.
It's commonly used as a natural moisturizer. The potential benefits of beef tallow for skin stem from its composition, which shares similarities with the natural oils created by our skin.
Here's a breakdown of why some people find it beneficial:
Similarity to Sebum:
Beef tallow's fatty acid profile is considered to be very compatible with human skin. This similarity allows it to be easily absorbed.
This compatibility can help replenish the skin's natural barrier, which is crucial for retaining moisture and protecting against environmental stressors.
Rich in Nutrients:
Tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health.
Vitamin A: Promotes skin cell turnover and can help with skin repair.
Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from free radical damage.
These vitamins, and other components of tallow, can assist in moisturizing, and soothing skin.
Moisturizing Properties:
The fatty acids in tallow create an occlusive barrier, which helps to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
This can be particularly beneficial for people with dry or eczema-prone skin.
Potential Anti-inflammatory Effects:
Tallow contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties. This may help soothe irritated skin.
By making whipped and traditional cooking tallow, we are ensuring that as many parts of the animal are used, from nose to tail by helping reduce food waste and make certain that nothing is wasted in our kitchens. Or, if you are feeling adventurous and want to prepare your own tallow, we sell beef suet that you can render down in your own home!
These cows have the best life possible when on our farm. From the moment they are born or brought to our farm, our animals are treated with the utmost respect. When the weather permits, rotational grazing allows for the best health of the animals while also enabling proper stewardship of the pastures. Our animals are never fed animal by-products and are never given growth hormones or steroids.
