Tallow is a powerful moisturiser loaded with a wealth of nutrients, essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
Simply put, tallow is a type of cleaned and purified fat. Fats, along with proteins, are essential building blocks for every cell membrane, including the skin. They provide energy, help absorb minerals, and are loaded with vitamins. Tallow is the result of a delicate process of rendering animal suet. Suet is a nutrient-dense fat surrounding the organs of some ruminant animals, most notably their kidney.
Here at nourishing works, we source and hand-render our suet from the fat of humanely-raised, organically-cared-for, grass-fed cows. We chose grass-fed suet for our cream because it’s free from synthetic growth hormones, high in essential vitamins, and produces a high quality, nutrient-rich fat that you just don’t find from grain-fed, factory-farmed cattle.
