Has anyone tried this brand? I was a little surprised that it’s being advertised as grass fed tallow but it’s sold for super cheap right now. It’s $10. submitted by /u/Educational-Cow-4068 to r/tallow [link] [comments]

I never used tallow for anything before until I met my boyfriend. He is a hunter and early on in our relationship he gave me a glass container with rendered deer tallow (with wayyyy too much tea tree oil added lol) and told me to use it on my skin. My skin is the definition of Combination skin. Some areas of my face are constantly greasy to the point where makeup basically melts off. Other parts are so dry that you can see the flakes and cracks. A lot of this is due to my thyroid disease. I was worried about using it on my face at first as I am in my late 20s and still very acne prone. so I started using it on my knuckles that can get so dry depending on my thyroid levels that they will actually start to crack and bleed. It worked miracles for my hands so I decided to start using it on my face. Fast forward over a year and he has basically made me want to transform myself into the homesteading, all natural trad wife lol. So back on topic... I see that most companies online use beef tallow in their skin care products. I've sort of just assumed this was because beef tallow is cheaper and much more accessible. I only use beef tallow when I cook and never tried it on my skin. We have some deer tallow in the freezer that needs to be rendered down and I was thinking about making my own whipped tallow cream with some jojoba oil. I started looking up recipes and noticed again that a lot of people use beef tallow. Does anyone know if there are any benefits to using deer over beef? Aside from the price/ accessibility of it as that does not apply, I did read somewhere about the possibility of store bought beef tallow containing pesticides and antibiotics but I'm not sure if that stuff would survive the rendering process? Also just curious if there are any inherent differences between beef and deer tallow other than the potential environmental ones.

Noticed this in her story that she used Erin’s beef tallow. Does this mean a potential reunion?? submitted by /u/Silver-Tell-2025 to r/BringingUpBates [link] [comments]

This is in every hipster store these days. When did tallow go mainstream? submitted by /u/Gibletsthehalfling to r/smoking [link] [comments]

I have learned so much from you wonderful people in the short time I've been here (about two months). I am desperately trying to get beauty to populate in my RFY but so far no dice. I felt super lucky to get this beef tallow this morning in AI. I have rarely been lucky enough to get anything. I don't use an extension because I'm not going down to my office to get on the computer at 3 AM lol. My problem is I have no idea what to do with it? Is it for your face or body? It does show both, but since I've never used it I wanted to ask the experts. Any tips are welcome! submitted by /u/Icy-Employment-8805 to r/BeautyViners [link] [comments]

I figure most of my favorite soaps are tallow based, why not try a tallow moisturizer for my post shave routine? This stuff is thick, but also whipped and airy. It goes on light enough and really gives a substantial smooth post shave feel. Just a tiny bit does it. I usually use an aftershave splash and then follow up with this. My face feels naked after a shave without it now. Amazon W! submitted by /u/dunerider182 to r/wicked_edge [link] [comments]

TL;DR: Beef tallow is the closest topical match to human skin oil (sebum) available. When used correctly, it supports barrier repair, calms irritation, and works exceptionally well for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone, and reactive skin. Most problems come from misuse or poor-quality tallow, not from tallow itself. Beef tallow has exploded in skincare discussions, but most of the information online is either hype or fear-mongering. This post lays out what tallow actually does for skin, where it helps, where it doesn’t, and why many people get bad results even when tallow itself isn’t the problem. What beef tallow actually is: Beef tallow is rendered fat, traditionally from beef suet. When properly rendered and unoxidized, it’s primarily composed of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, similar to those already present in human sebum (your skin’s natural oil). That similarity is the core reason people try it. It's also the core reason many people have extraordinary results. Tallow does not act like a typical modern “moisturizer.” It doesn’t add water to the skin. It functions as a lipid layer that reduces water loss and supports barrier function. Potential benefits of beef tallow for skin: Barrier support - Tallow forms an occlusive lipid layer that slows transepidermal water loss. For people with dry, compromised, or over-exfoliated skin, this alone can dramatically reduce irritation. Simplicity - Pure tallow contains no fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, or solvents. For people reacting to long ingredient lists, fewer variables can mean fewer reactions. Sebum compatibility - Its fatty acid profile overlaps with human sebum more than most plant oils. This can make it feel “natural” on some skin types. Stability - Saturated fats are less prone to oxidation than many polyunsaturated plant oils, which can be relevant for sensitive or reactive skin. Risks and downsides (this matters): Beef tallow is not universally good for skin. It can worsen acne for some people when: Used in excess, Layered over other occlusives, Applied to already congested skin, Used with poor cleansing habits It does not hydrate - Tallow does not add water to the skin. On dehydrated skin, it can seal in dryness if used incorrectly. Its best applied on slightly damp skin. Quality matters more than people think - Oxidized, overheated, deodorized, or poorly rendered tallow can irritate skin and smell unpleasant. Many negative experiences trace back to quality issues, not tallow itself. Not ideal for all skin conditions - People with certain types of fungal acne (Malassezia-driven) may react poorly to fatty substrates. This is not universal, but it’s real. Common mistakes people make with tallow: Using too much This is the #1 mistake. Tallow is dense. A pea-sized amount is often more than enough. Overapplication increases the chance of congestion. Treating it like a lotion - Tallow is not a water-based moisturizer. Applying it to completely dry skin often gives poor results. Many do better applying it to slightly damp skin. Layering it with everything - Using tallow on top of silicones, heavy creams, or multiple occlusives can trap debris and worsen breakouts. Expecting it to fix everything - Tallow supports the skin barrier. It does not exfoliate, treat hyperpigmentation, kill bacteria, or replace prescription treatments. Assuming “grass-fed” guarantees quality - Grass-fed describes how the animal ate, not how the fat was rendered, stored, or handled. Rendering process matters more than the label. Who tends to benefit most from tallow: -Very dry skin -Compromised skin barriers -Minimalist routines -Over-exfoliated or irritated skin -People reacting to complex formulations Who should be cautious: -Fungal-acne-prone skin -People who dislike heavy textures (if this is you, avoid balms, opt for tallow face-creams or serums) -Anyone layering many products already Why dermatologists are skeptical of tallow: Modern dermatology is optimized for: 1. Large controlled clinical trials 2. Liability protection 3. Insurance billing and prescription pathways 4. Standardized, FDA cleared, predictable formulations → Anything that cannot be patented, tightly standardized, prescribed, or billed is structurally disfavored, no matter how well it may work in the real world. This is the same reason why doctors rarely recommend things like sunlight exposure, sleep optimization, dietary fat quality, or exercise for immune system health. Not because they do not work, but because they are not billable, patentable, or prescribable. You cannot code them, brand them, or run them through the same incentive machinery. Pills and surgeries fit the system. Lifestyle interventions do not. Tallow is inexpensive, biologically variable, impossible to patent, and difficult to study at scale. That makes it unattractive for clinical guidelines, regardless of real world outcomes. Meanwhile, many individuals report excellent long term results, as seen in the user submitted before and after photos throughout this subreddit. This is not suppression or incompetence. It is incentives. Tallow exists in outcome based skincare. Dermatology guidelines exist in a different universe. Bottom line: Beef tallow isn’t a miracle, and it doesn’t need to be. After your skin’s own natural oil, it’s the most biologically compatible moisturizers you can apply. When used correctly, it supports the skin barrier, calms irritation, and restores comfort in ways many modern products fail to do. For most people, especially those with dry, sensitive, eczema-prone, or reactive skin, it works exceptionally well. Nearly all failures come from misuse or poor-quality tallow, not from the ingredient itself. If you’re curious, start slow, use very little, and don’t stack it with everything else. submitted by /u/Fit_Psychology_1536 to r/TallowSkincare [link] [comments]

I have used ketoconazale cream but my skin is so dry and most moisturizers irritate my face. I have used the beef tallow a couple times and I cant tell if it’s making it worse or better. Any help is appreciated! submitted by /u/Disastrous_Wafer2211 to r/SebDerm [link] [comments]

I've been using a locally produced face cream that is tallow based. I absolutely love it but hate the smell. Its not the tallow smell I hate but the pungent floral essentials oils added to the products ( I am guessing to cover the tallow scent). I've gotten used to it because I love the product but my husband hates it and I have to admit that I smell like potent potpourri. I am considering making my own based off the ingredients in the product so I can add my own scents but I am not sure how to start. Can I just buy beef tallow and add mix-ins? Will it be shelf stable? Ingredients (excluding fragence oils): Grass-fed grass-finished beef tallow, shea butter, almond oil, emu oil, tamanu oil, squalane, propolis, vitamin e submitted by /u/Fit_Hand4406 to r/NaturalBeauty [link] [comments]

PSA: I used to own a business making skin care and soap. I learned about safe manufacture of some skincare products and I’m aware of the FDA guidelines. There are some beef tallow skincare products coming out of China, which are deceptive and possible safety hazards in Vine. I just want to share this information. Scientifically speaking, an anhydrous product is one made without water. For example, a balm, salve, or a lotion bar has no water in it but they all have oils and/or fat. To change them from liquid and to make them able to be more solid they add a wax such as beeswax or jojoba oil, (which is actually a wax). These real balms are solid or very thick at room temperature. They will melt on your skin as your skin temperature heats it up. Bacteria, mold and mildew do not grow in anhydrous products. Those things that we don’t want in our skincare need water to live and multiply. Beef tallow is the fat from a cow and lard is the fat from a pig. Other products made with water and/or an oil and/or a fat are a prime environment to grow bacteria, which may get introduced from your hand or fingers as you dip into the jar. They can also grow mold or mildew. Those products that have water plus oils/fats need a preservative to prevent the growth. Lotion and cream have water in them as a main ingredient. We don’t want to be using lotions or creams that are filled with bacteria or mold or mildew. Some other things that this applies to are sugar scrubs, and scrubbing cream soaps sold in a jar. There’s a trend for beef tallow balm for the face as a natural moisturizer. Sometimes they advertise it also for your body use. It has gone viral on TikTok. Men are using it and printing take balms too. I have used some brands that I like. I’m all for balms. The issue is that now vine has some products (made in China are the ones I have received) that actually are technically speaking, a lotion or skin cream, because they are made with water plus the oils and the beef tallow, but there is no preservative. These are unsafe to use. They are not a balm. One that I got this week shows on the product page that it only contained beef tallow, some oils and beeswax. It said it was all natural. When I received it, the ingredients list on the jar side and on the box say the primary ingredient is mineral oil, which is a petroleum product (not natural and is lab made), it has the beef tallow and olive oil, and beeswax, but it also has multiple lab made ingredients which are meant to emulsify liquids and oils to create a smooth lotion. It also had water as a main ingredient and was very much like a light skin cream in its consistency. It has no preservative, which means it is a prime environment for growing bacteria, mold, or mildew. We’ll see if they publish my review. I just wanted to teach everybody this in case you are using beef tallow skincare products and I wanted to explain why you should be concerned if you order a BALM but it is actually a lotion because it has water, but yet it doesn’t have a preservative, which makes it unsafe. Sidebar: shower gels are not technically speaking a soap; they’re made with water and they need a preservative. The traditional way of making a bar of soap is called cold process soap, and although that has water in it, the water has converted through a chemical process with the lye (sodium hydroxide) and the oils/fats into a new thing called soap. There is no free water in a bar of real soap. That is why a bar of actual soap cannot grow bacteria or mold or mildew on it. That is why a real bar of soap lasts years or decades without expiring or going bad. submitted by /u/artisanmaker to r/AmazonVine [link] [comments]

Just a friendly PSA. So, I gave in to the glowing reviews, the testimonials, the before and afters and got myself a pot. Applied it fresh out the shower after cleanser. Massaged it all up in to my face, as directed. Instantly my skin turned tomato red and blotchy, and its greasy as hell (obviously... its rendered beef fat). Zero absorption, just sits on it. Washed it off, let my skin breathe and returned to my ordinary foaming cleanser with cool water. Whoever needs to see this; don't be fooled by the ads. Don't buy it. There's nowhere near enough peer reviewed research on it, and there are so many variables that can impact the final product (livestock condition, diseases, lack of preservatives, are they filtering it enough....) Do. Not. Do. It. Edit: One of many informational videos: https://youtu.be/E9pW7oS2zTc?si=1wbNzppIjRUqAXJI Edit 2: will be sticking to my routine: La roche effaclair Ordinary Salicylic Ordinary niacinamide Byoma phyto mucin barrier serum Kiehls Ultra face cream Zero reason to swerve from it, just got sucked in.

I haven’t used the beef tallow for a week. A couple days later (last Friday) I noticed the spot form under my lips. I tested a spot on my neck and it was fine on my neck. Then I tested a small area on my forehead and that was fine. That’s why I figured it was OK to put it on my whole face. Just wondering if this will go away by itself or if there’s a certain kind of cream I might have to get from the urgent care or if anybody can relate to this raised red mark? I don’t know if it’s an allergic reaction. It’s mostly noticeable when I puff out my cheeks like I’m doing in the photo. I have a back surgery in just two days and can’t get into the dermatologist before then. I shaved twice since last Wednesday and I use a scented shaving cream, which might have further irritated it. Thanks for any suggestions! submitted by /u/ThoracicMyelopathy to r/DermatologyQuestions [link] [comments]

First two pics (December 2023) I was struggling HARD. Not only was the cystic acne painful and itchy, I was also very embarrassed to go out in public because of it. I had zero confidence. I was on two antibiotics, and two topical face creams. I did the dermatologist cystic acne recommendations for 6 months. I was heartbroken when she said she wanted to up the antibiotics and do 6 more months! I was desperate for answers at that point and willing to try anything. I’ve always stuck pretty closely to western medicine but my mother has been quite the opposite, so I have a few things a shot. It took 3 months before I saw results, but they were very shocking. I stopped using my cetaphil moisturizer and used a very thin layer of pure castor oil at night. I let it sit for like 30 minutes before going to bed. Yes, it’s a weird texture on my face at first but it’s kind of soothing to me now. I expected it to make me breakout more but it didn’t. I also stopped all my perfumes, and after much searching and testing stuff, figured out my favorite Sol De Jenaro perfume was making me break out. To be fair I was putting it in my hair to help the smell be stronger. Not smart haha. So there’s still improvement that can be made but no cystic acne anymore! I start micro needling next week and I’m super excited to see how it goes. My Routine (I have combo skin, but usually it’s very oily): AM: 1. wash 1x w/ panoxyl acne wash 4% 2. La Roche Possey Effaclar mat Moisturizer PM: 1. wash 2x w/ panoxyl acne wash 4% (first to get off makeup or any residue, don’t scrub as hard or leave it on as long the first time.) 2. Pure castor oil (put a little on your eyelashes it’ll help them grow!) 3. TESTING beef tallow lightly over castor oil (apparently it helps with scarring, and I haven’t broken out yet so we’ll see 😉) TL:DR; if all else fails, try the weird stuff! Be careful and PATCH TEST ofc but don’t be afraid to try new things if something isn’t working. submitted by /u/mangosparklingwater to r/SkincareAddiction [link] [comments]

I will start by saying I have sensitive skin and prone to dryness. I’m 36 (as of last week) and my skin has still been breaking out horribly! Cystic acne on my chin, forehead, clogged pores, break outs. Constant breakouts. Constant painful zits. Product or routine changes didn’t help it, if anything made it worse I’ve used cetaphil, cerave, Nivea, no 7 and many, many more face moisturizes, creams and still had isssues with skin drying. Even the more high end, I’ve tried Lancôme and others. It’s not like I switched often, sometimes buying the product twice. I thought it’s homonal, it had to be! Every lotion I had the same breaksouts. The glycolic acid toner helped some with exfoliating. I decided I’m going to go back to basics, simple face wash, BEEF TALLOW as my moisturizer. I figured if it made my break outs worse I would stop using it. It’s only been a week and my chin, my chronic cystic acne and constant zit factory, is complexly cleared up! 😵‍💫 My pores are non existent, I’m a picker and nothing to pick! My skin is super soft and can get a bit dry still but I think it will take time to adjust. I keep looking in the mirror and in shock, I haven’t seen my face this clear in many years! My husband even noticed. Now I’m wondering what in the lotion was causing so many issues for me? I took before pictures but I was so disgusted with my zits that I defeated them.🙄😕 submitted by /u/Big-Raspberry-2552 to r/30PlusSkinCare [link] [comments]

I have closed comedones all over my face. They're hard to see but I can feel them under my skin and they're very painful sometimes. They come to a head occasionally and cause a lot of pain in my face. I've been using beef tallow for a few days now and my skin had never felt more smooth and painless. My acne is vanishing, my skin doesn't peel from dryness anymore, and painful inflammation on my face vanished overnight. I'm literally glowing. I can't believe I found something that worked after trying every prescription cream and pill I could get my hands on. I'm not trying to push a trend here, but I've been to doctors who have prescribed me tons of different prescription creams for my acne, but they never worked. My self esteem was in the hole but I'M LITERALLY GLOWING NOW. I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!! :D And before anyone asks, my face does not smell like beef. The tallow itself is orderless and a mint scent was added to my bottle. .. ➡️➡️➡️➡️ https://lesuif.com/ .. The link above is what I use, but many people in the comments have posted other amazing brands too! Edit: please please please read the post and stop commenting/DMing me asking what brand I use 😅 It's all over the comments and in the post.
