10 Surprising Benefits of Grass Fed Tallow
Why Tallow? The Natural Skincare Secret Your Skin Needs
Hey there, I’m Lisa—holistic RN, mama, and research nerd. Fifteen years ago, I turned my kitchen into a lab to soothe my veteran husband’s red, itchy skin, and that’s when I discovered grass-fed tallow. It didn’t just calm his skin—it became a staple for our babies too. At Kheyleve Naturals, we’re all about vintage skincare for a modern world, and tallow is the heart of our holistic skincare mission. Let me break down what tallow is, why it’s a game-changer, and why your skin deserves to experience its natural relief.
What Is Tallow, Anyway?
Let’s start with the basics. Tallow comes from suet—the fat that surrounds the internal organs of a cow, like the liver, kidney, and heart. Because it protects these nutrient-rich organs, suet is packed with many of the same vitamins and minerals. To make tallow, we collect this fat and cook it low and slow over a long period, separating the liquid fat from the hard fat. The result? A beautiful, white, creamy substance with little to no odor—that’s tallow! It’s a pure, ancestral ingredient that’s been used for centuries, and it’s the foundation of our tallow skincare at Kheyleve Naturals.
Why Tallow? It’s Safe, Natural, and Shelf-Stable
Unlike many skincare ingredients produced in a lab, tallow is a truly real ingredient—straight from nature, with no preservatives, no synthetic fragrances, no junk. Conventional products are often designed to sit on store shelves for years, requiring heavy preservation. But tallow? It’s incredibly shelf-stable. If you’ve ever used it for cooking, you know it can sit on your counter for months without going rancid. That means we can craft our products—like Just LoLo Unscented Tallow Butter—with love and intention, keeping them pure and safe for all ages and stages, from babies to adults with sensitive skin.
Ethically Sourced: Grass-Fed and Sustainable
At Kheyleve Naturals, we believe in doing things the right way. All of our tallow is sourced from small, family-owned farms right here in the USA. These aren’t feedlot cows—our cows are grass-fed and ethically raised on pastures, living the way nature intended. Many of our farmers practice regenerative agriculture, which means they’re not just raising cows; they’re regenerating the soil and supporting the planet. When you choose grass-fed tallow from Kheyleve, you’re supporting sustainable practices and small farms while giving your skin the best of nature’s nourishment.
Nourishing Powerhouse for Your Skin
Tallow isn’t just natural—it’s a skin superfood. Grass-fed tallow is loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with their fat-soluble activators, making these nutrients bioavailable and easily absorbed by your skin. It’s also high in conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), which are anti-inflammatory and help calm irritation. Tallow closely mimics your skin’s natural oils, making it ideal for nourishing, moisturizing, and protecting without irritation. Whether you’re dealing with dry patches, redness, or flare-ups, tallow provides natural relief that’s gentle enough for babies and powerful enough for adults. While plant-based oils are great, we believe animal-based fats like tallow are a must-have addition to your holistic skincare routine.
Anti-Aging Benefits That Help You Glow
Let’s talk about aging gracefully—because tallow has you covered there, too. Grass-fed tallow gives your skin a healthy, radiant glow while plumping it to smooth out fine lines and crow’s feet. It’s deeply hydrating, helping to restore your skin barrier and lock in moisture for a youthful, dewy look. Whether you call it anti-aging or simply nourishing your skin to thrive, tallow is the ancestral ingredient your skin craves. You’ll find it in most of our products, from Just LoLo Unscented Tallow Butter to our Cherish Facial Line and Khey- Fresh Deodorant, so you can use tallow all over your body for head-to-toe care.
