Tallow is a powerful moisturiser loaded with a wealth of nutrients, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Simply put, tallow is a type of purified and highly stable at room temperature animal fat that is therapeutic when applied to our skin.
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 that surrounds the organs of ruminant animals, most notably their kidneys.
Here at Nourishing Works, we source and hand-render our suet, which comes from humanely-raised, organically-cared-for, grass-fed cows. We chose organic grass-fed suet for making our skincare because it’s free from synthetic growth hormones and is high in nutrients that you just don’t find from grain-fed, factory-farmed cattle.
