Well folks, I hate to break it to ya, but tallow is animal oil that has been slowly and carefully kettle rendered from the suet of animals such as organically-farmed and grass-fed/finished cows or sheep or emu.

KAT!!! COW FAT?? ON MY FACE AND BODY??!

YES!!!! Yesssssssss. This is one oil our body absorbs more readily than any other. There is a vitamin profile in animal oils (A, D, E, and K) that is a one-of-a-kind combo that cannot be found in plant-based oils alone. Tallow is a super-ingredient boost for the powerful essential oils in Frankly Tallow.

Look, tallow contains the same fats or lipids found in healthy, supple human skin and lipids are found in abundance in the membrane of every cell in our bodies! They are responsible for the free flowing of liquids (aka moisture) in and out of our cells. Lipids are beneficial because they create a protective, yet permeable barrier that prevents infection, maintains moisture, flexibility and structure of the cell. As a result of all that sciencey-stuff, tallow prevents dryness at the cellular level without suffocating the skin's barrier. Additionally, tallow and sebum (the oil in our skin) share many of the same lipids or fats in similar concentrations. It is this similarity that allows tallow to absorb thoroughly into to our thirsty skin.

Paired with three different amazing Frankincense essential oils, there are many skin troubles that will greatly benefit from the use of tallow. It can be used for face cream, body moisturizer, wounds, tattoo healing, bug bites, razor burn, rashes, burns, stretchmarks, scars, dry skin, itchy skin, scalp treatment, roseacea, psoriasis, eczema, cracked feet/heels, stretch mark prevention, age spots, facial moisturizer and balancer, and acne care, to name a few. It’s basically the super-hero of skincare. The wow factor of tallow is its compatibility with your skin – It is so easy for our body to use and to absorb! It’s almost as if our skin recognizes it.
