Wait, Tallow?! Why This Old-School Fat Might Be Your Skin’s New BFF

Hey mama—let’s talk skin.

You know that moment when you catch a glimpse of your reflection after maybe three hours of sleep, two diaper blowouts, and not a single drop of coffee yet—and your skin is like, “Help me!”?

Yeah. I’ve been there too.

That’s why I want to tell you about a totally underrated skincare superhero I swear by: beef tallow. I know, it sounds like something your grandma used to cook with (because she probably did!). But trust me—it’s making a BIG comeback in the clean beauty world, and for good reason.

So, what is beef tallow?

Basically, it’s the good, creamy fat that comes from grass-fed cows—gently melted down and purified until it turns into this rich, dreamy balm. And before you go “ew, fat on my face?!”, hear me out: it’s shockingly similar to the oils our own skin makes.

Translation? Your skin soaks it right up like a postpartum mama devours snacks during a nap break.

Why I’m obsessed (and why your skin might be too):

It’s deeply moisturizing… but not greasy

Tallow doesn’t just sit on top of your skin. It actually nourishes it—like cozying up with a weighted blanket after a long day. Even my combo skin drinks it up without any of that oily feeling.

No weird stuff

It’s pure. No fillers, no fake fragrances, no junk your skin doesn’t need. Just nature doing her thing. Perfect for sensitive skin, babies, and let’s be real—us tired mamas who don’t have time for 12-step routines.

Vitamin powerhouse

Tallow naturally packs vitamins A, D, E, and K—plus something called CLA (a natural anti-inflammatory). Translation? Brighter, calmer, happier skin. I even use it on little cuts and dry baby cheeks. It’s that gentle.

It supports your skin barrier

Ever feel like your skin is just not bouncing back after a long week (or year)? Tallow helps rebuild and protect your skin’s barrier—so it can finally stop freaking out every time the weather changes or you forget to moisturize. Again.

Who should give it a try?

• If your skin is dry, flaky, sensitive, or just… blah

• If you’ve had enough of products that promise everything but deliver nada

• If you love multitasking products (this one works on face, hands, baby bums—you name it)

How I use it

I just take a tiny dab (seriously, a little goes a long way), warm it between my fingers, and press it into my face after cleansing—morning or night. I even rub some on my cuticles and baby’s cheeks when the wind hits hard. It’s like skincare and self-care in one sweet moment.

Final thoughts from this mama to you

If you’ve been chasing that natural glow but keep ending up with dryness, breakouts, or irritation… it might be time to stop overthinking and start going old-school. Sometimes the best stuff comes straight from nature—and beef tallow is one of those skin-loving secrets that’s too good not to share.

So go ahead, give your skin some real nourishment. Your glow (and your baby’s cheeks) will thank you.

With love and laughter,

A fellow tired-but-glowing mama 💛
