Tallow Lip balm: Organic Beeswax & Honey Chapstick (Peppermint)

What is Tallow?

Tallow has been used in skincare for longer than most modern products have existed. Before the influx of industrially processed seed oils and manmade chemicals in skincare, animal-based products such as tallow were the primary base ingredient for skincare products developed by our ancestors. Beef tallow is an incredibly nourishing, vitamin-rich substance. The minerals and vitamins naturally found in tallow (vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K) are all beneficial for skin health and appearance. The nutrient profile and composition of tallow are very similar to the human sebum (the oily layer below our skin). Because of this, our skin recognizes and readily absorbs the product immediately upon application, resulting in remarkably nourished skin. 

Why Tallow?

• Vitamin A~ Increases production of collagen for youthful, smooth skin
• Vitamin B12~ Necessary for cell regeneration to treat eczema & psoriasis
• Vitamin D~ Repairs skin cells while protecting against free radicals that cause premature aging
• Vitamin E~ Powerful antioxidant that repairs and reverses free radical damage
• Vitamin K~ Soothes skin inflammation and irritations while speeding up healing processes

How does our Tallow Nourish your skin?

The fatty acids contained in tallow are:

-Oleic

-Palmitic

-Stearic

-Linoleic

These fatty acids work together to repair and rebuild the skin and its protective barrier. Stearic acid prevents transepidermal water loss. Tallow helps to regulate skin's sebum (oil) so that oily skin becomes less oily and dry skin becomes more supple.
