Instead of using modern-day skin care products filled with toxic chemicals you can’t pronounce, the world is waking up to a healthier, more natural solution that provides remarkable benefits — tallow balm!
If you were like us just a few years ago, you are probably wondering what tallow balm is.
Believe it or not, the primary ingredient in tallow balm is beef tallow, which is derived from beef fat from cows. Before you make a quick judgment about this, know that Good Life Tallow’s products are produced using the fat in its purest form, rendered and refined to create a creamy, luxurious balm.
Beef tallow has actually been used as a moisturizer for thousands of years, whereas most modern-day skin care products have been around for the past 100-150 years, at most. Using beef tallow is more beneficial than these commercial products and has stood the test of time. Nature itself provides everything you need!
What are the benefits?
Beef tallow provides remarkable benefits for the skin, and there’s a good reason for that! Tallow closely mimics the natural oils found in our skin at the molecular level, making it the ideal moisturizer. This balance also means it's suitable for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and acne-prone.
Tallow is loaded with essential fatty acids, stearic and oleic acid, which create a natural barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and locking in hydration to help keep your skin smooth and healthy. In addition, our tallow balm contains beeswax to further seal in moisture.
It’s also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Vitamins included are A, D, K, E, & B12. Since Good Life Tallow uses grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow, this ensures that the products contain the highest level of these healthy vitamins. You will only find this combination of vitamins in beef tallow, and it won’t be found naturally in plant-based products.
As if that wasn’t enough, grass-fed tallow also has antimicrobial and anti-bacterial properties, which help heal the skin, and it even helps with eczema, acne, dry/itchy skin, wrinkles, sunburns, and rashes. This makes our tallow incredibly versatile, as it can be used for all skin types and use cases. We love to use it on our face and hands each day!
Why grass fed?
It makes sense that happy cows produce the most nutrient-dense meat and milk. The same is true for tallow. Grass fed cows typically have the most nutrient-dense diet, so if you're going to use tallow for skin purposes, the most beneficial tallow is grass fed. It's higher in nutrients, has a better fatty acid profile, has less toxins and a fewer potential for allergens, and overall is more ethical. Happy cows means great tallow, and we only use the highest-quality ingredients: grass fed beef tallow.
What makes us different?
Not only is our tallow balm incredibly beneficial for your skin, but it is also free of any chemicals and preservatives commonly found in commercial skin care products, making products like Good Life Tallow a safe and clean option for those who prefer natural products. We create our tallow balm in small batches from the highest-quality ingredients.
Ingredients
Other than beef tallow, our tallow balm also includes:
- Raw Honey - When combined with tallow, honey helps enhance its unbelievable moisturizing abilities and provides antibacterial properties to the tallow. This helps with fast healing of scrapes, rashes, acne, or sunburns.
- Beeswax - This provides a natural barrier, locking in moisture, and is a natural thickening agent, which aids in maintaining the balm's creamy consistency. Beeswax is also rich in vitamin A, further supporting your skin.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil - EVOO is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants as well as vitamins A, D, K, and E. No tallow balm is complete without extra virgin olive oil!
- An Essential Oil Blend - Not only do essential oils fight aging and inflammation, but essential oils also help leave your skin smelling clean and refreshed. These make using the product that much more enjoyable! We use sandalwood, frankincense serrata, frankincense carterii, lavender, and rose essential oils.
There is nothing unnecessary in our tallow balm to ensure we are giving you the ultimate skincare elixir to leave you with healthier and brighter skin. Each jar of our tallow balm is hand-crafted right here in the USA. We will always stay true to our mission of promoting the use of healthy and natural products free of toxic ingredients.
