Have you ever wondered where your skincare comes from? How about the effect it has on our environment and our bodies? As we become more collectively health conscious, these are important questions for everyone to consider when choosing certain products and brands. Misinformation about health and wellness spreads like wildfire, and it can feel extremely overwhelming to decipher which beauty products are sustainable and which aren’t. Tallow often gets mixed up in the negativity that has been brought to light regarding the farming industry. However, tallow itself is an energy-efficient animal byproduct that actually contributes to a reduced environmental impact. We want to debunk some common myths about tallow so our consumers can feel educated and confident about using it as a self-care staple.
Ethical Concerns
Many people use tallow on a daily basis. It’s versatile- found in kitchens, bathroom cabinets and even in the nursery for infant care. Despite this, tallow has come under scrutiny surrounding concerns about animal-derived ingredients. While these ethical concerns are valid, it’s important to note that tallow used in skincare is sourced from animals that have already been slaughtered and processed for their meat. This means it utilizes a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste, promoting a more sustainable use of resources. One of the standout features of tallow, despite its wellness benefits, is its role in upcycling.
Tallow Supports Sustainability
By transforming this byproduct into high-quality skincare, we make full use of the resources already available. This process of upcycling aligns perfectly with sustainable living, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Many tallow skincare brands are small, independent businesses with a commitment to sustainability and quality- including Tallow Twins, hi! By choosing tallow-based products, you're supporting local artisans and farmers, fostering a more sustainable economy. We focus on creating products with care and respect for both our environment and our consumers.
100% Grass Fed Tallow: Biodegradable & Reef-Safe
Tallow-based skincare products are both biodegradable and reef-safe because they break down naturally without leaving harmful residues in the environment. Unlike many conventional skin care products and sunscreens that contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are known to damage coral reefs and marine life, tallow is made from natural, biodegradable ingredients. By choosing tallow-based skincare, you're not only feeding your skin with nourishing, safe ingredients but also protecting delicate ecosystems.
Our mission is to see people taking their health into their own hands and eliminating harmful chemicals from their skincare. Together we can create the ultimate protective barrier on your skin leaving it feeling soft and well nourished.
