Tallow is a nutrient-rich fat that comes from rendered animal fat.
While the idea of applying fat to your skin may seem unusual, it has been a trusted skincare remedy for generations.
Its composition closely resembles the natural lipids in human skin, making it incredibly effective for nourishing and repairing damaged skin.
Cypress Hill Tallow Company uses hard fat from grass-fed cattle, ensuring maximum nutrient content for optimal skincare benefits.
Tallow offers a powerhouse of benefits for your skin and overall well-being. As your largest organ, your skin absorbs everything you put on it.
Unlike many commercial skincare products, tallow is completely natural and free from toxins, allowing your skin to soak up essential vitamins and nutrients without exposure to harmful chemicals.
· Packed with skin-loving triglycerides, including oleic, palmitic, stearic, and linoleic acids
· Rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and vital minerals
· Contains conjugated linoleic acid (Omega-3) for anti-inflammatory benefits
· Features palmitoleic acid (Omega-7), a key antimicrobial component found in human sebum
· Helps smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and restore a youthful glow
Tallow deeply moisturizes and supports skin healing without clogging pores. It is perfect for addressing:
· Dry or chapped skin
· Wrinkles and fine lines
· Eczema and psoriasis
· Acne and scars
· Burns, cuts, and stretch marks
· Calloused or sun-damaged skin
· Rashes, including diaper rash and cradle cap
· Rosacea and sensitive skin concerns
· Daily facial and full-body hydration
· Tattoos, dry lips, and even makeup removal
Natural balms or creams, like ours, contain a blend of solid fats (tallow) and liquid oils (such as olive oil), each with different melting points.
Exposure to fluctuating temperatures can sometimes cause tiny grain-like beads to form. This does not affect the quality of the balm—simply warm it between your hands, and it will melt smoothly into your skin.
Absolutely, it can be used as a full-body moisturizer and is particularly effective for:
· Diaper rash
· Cradle cap
· Baby acne
· Dry patches and irritation
· Sunburns and minor scratches
Always avoid contact with the eyes.
No need to worry about smelling like a steak!
Tallow has a mild, natural aroma that is gently refined through our rendering process. We also infuse it with carefully selected essential oils to enhance its benefits and provide a pleasant scent.
At our home we use a clean whipped tallow without essential oils in and we fit into society pretty well.
