Another great video, thanks mate!! I remember watching ur channel for the first time, months ago, and thinking "who is this crazy guy saying to use cow fat as a moisturizer?!" - now Ive been using tallow and my skin has never felt more moisturized and clean. The only downside is the smell haha, but its actually grown on me. Ive even started making a moisturizer for my vegetarian girlfriend and she loves it! I just add lavender oil to mask the smell and no one can tell 😂
😂 It seems crazy at first but then makes complete sense after you do it for a while, great to read you're doing well with it! To minimize the smell, you can melt it down a couple of times, each time it cools down scrape off the sediments that form the bottom layer and pour throgh mesh. Make sure your skin doesn't react to essential oils, it's a tricky ingredient but sure does smell good Maybe your girlfriend would like the whipped version of tallow, just whip it up with a hand mixer when it's cooled down and starting to solidify on room temperature
As you can see from my scratched nose, wrestling with my son has its consequences lol Have you ever used tallow before? Share your tips & tricks in the comments!
@@OttKaselaan @Juhannoode mõni asi millega arvestada Liivimaa Rohumaaveise rasva asjus: - See on üldine rasva segu ehk mitte spetsiifiliselt see sama "suet" organite ümbert. See on okei aga lihtsalt pehmem, suet on kõvem ja sisaldab rohkem kasulikke aineid, see kontsentreeritum rasv vn, selles mõttes eelistatum valik - See on toidu jaoks mõeldud rasv ehk lõhnab rohkem veise järgi. Nahale kasutamiseks saab seda lõhna vähendada siis kui see rasv uuesti vedelaks sulatada ja lisada sellele soola+vett. Jahtub maha, puhas rasv tõuseb üles ja muutub tahkeks, vesi koos soola ja lõhna/jääkainetega jääb alla. Kui selle rasva nüüd pealt puhtalt kätte saada ilma veeta ja purki panna siis on tulemuseks rasval vähem lõhna Ma teen sama protsessi praegu rasvaga mida ostan lihunikelt ja veisekasvatajatelt, et seda sama lõhna vähendada. Katsetan seepide ja kreemide valmistamisega, varsti tulevad müüki
I have a lot of tallow rendered from a lovely gift of leaf fat from a friend, mostly for making soap. I keep hearing about grass fed, and i know these cows are grain fed. Do you have experience with grain fed fat? My tallow is pure white and rock hard .
Have you used “South Chicago Packing Wagyu Beef Tallow?” It is a nice, whipped consistency, doesn’t smell strong, and I buy it on Amazon. I’ve used it on my hands, but haven’t used it on my face yet. Will this Wagyu version clog pores?
@@jw6180 I'm from Estonia (Europe) so I don't generally use local produce from Chicago, but it seems alright! I prefer simple grassfed beef tallow to wagyu though
Tallow is solid/creamy in room temperature. It's liquid when heated. Becomes more solid in the fridge depending on what fat was used to render it (suet becomes very waxy & tough). Sure you can use the unrefridgerated tallow or even raw fat, the fridge is just good for keeping it stable for a long time so it wouldn't oxidize
Castor oil can be useful for some but in my view the best plant-derived option would actually be jojoba oil (technically a liquid wax), it has similar properties as tallow, that one might be a future video and post indeed!
@@annaak7849 Those as well yes. What I meant is that jojoba oil is also non-comedogenic, similar to skin lipids and helps the skin similarly like tallow
@SkinCoachTanel i love tallow for soft skin and glow but it does very little for my under eye area. Same w jojoba oil. I notice i still need regular creams to keep the area properly hydrated. Although castor oil and marula oil seems to be helpful but not as much as some conventional products and it annoys me i can't find a natural ingredient that truly works on under eye lines. I'm not saying erasing but I notice the oils make it almost seem worse after a couple of day's use.
What are your thoughts on people whose eczema is triggered by grass pollen? Is there a risk that ruminant meat and tallow could trigger an allergic response since they eat grass? I'm a lifelong eczema sufferer, raised without ever eating red meat. I'm absolutely game to start if it means healing, but the few times I've tried I've had a bad reaction. Trying to figure out whether it's just an adjustment period or the grass pollen issue. Thanks!
Interesting question, I haven't seen this being a reaction since the grass food gets digested by the ruminant's multiple stomachs, it shouldn't be a problem at all I have, however, read many studies about raw goat milk intake helping against all sorts of allergies, I'd sip on some of that! Very healing rnz.izoo.krakow.pl/files/RNZ_2023_50_1_art01_en.pdf www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10563692/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7040033/ A good gentle way to start eating quality beef is to make a broth/soup out of it by using bone broth (can be store bought) and boiling minced beef in there. When introducing new foods it's important to keep the portions smaller and track the progress using the daily diary and biomarkers :)
@@austintannenbaum2717 It might depend on the state, maybe try getrawmilk.com/ In California, raw milk is widely available in grocery stores (same here in Estonia by the way, both goat and cow, very easy to find). Kentucky requires a doctor's note for raw goat milk sales. In England, Netherlands and many places across Europe, raw milk is dispensed through vending machines (bring your own refillable container), so it really depends where you are at

I know one guy who prefers lard to tallow, but it's not a common preference. Tallow is just superior, you can try both and see for yourself Besides the feeling/texture/effect, it's also a matter of quality and what the fat contains - you see, fat can accumulate toxins, pharmaceuticals and omega 6s etc. from the intensive farming practises, medications and the soy+corn+grain feed that pigs and grainfed beef get Tallow comes from ruminant animals (beef, sheep, goat, deer...), these animal species eat primarily grass, so it's a matter of finding grassfed not grainfed animals from good farmers (even better when they are unmedicated) Lard on the other hand comes from pigs that eat virtually anything, which is why intensive farmers feed them all sorts of junk So it's easier to find high quality grassfed ruminants/beef/tallow compared to finding high quality pig/pork/lard
I have been using lard but am aware of the potential accumulated toxins in it so will switch to tallow. So far I’ve been blitzing it while soft with the hand blender with some raw apple cider vinegar and essential oils for fragrance; it sounds odd but the ACV does emulsify it and becomes this light fluffy mousse. It does absolutely moisturise and plump the skin, brilliant also for rough areas and cuticles etc. tried it on hair too, as expected. But as above will order some grass fed tallow next I also used lamb tallow in the past, similar effect, however highly pungent : )
@@capraglass That's an interesting idea to add ACV to it, that can also help to rebalance the pH on the surface of the skin, a lot of people with skin disorders have alkaline skin (from soaps and other washing liquids), this would reacidify the microbiome there
@@SkinCoachTanel Hi I appreciate your prompt reply. Yes I have been using ACV for face for many years, will use all my life probably. I initially thought of putting it in the jar of lard mousse as an easy way to incorporate ACV in my body skin care also, otherwise difficult to use all over. Turned out to really work, best of both worlds. Very best wishes! PS: while on natural animal based care, I also passionately recommend sheep lanolin, in case you’re not using already. It’s a brilliant emolient, a perfect substitute for vaseline in all cosmetic uses - plus probably much more compatible with the skin. I use it at night around eyes and as a lip balm.
If I use retinol serum at night, then I have to use a sunscreen that is SPF 50 when going out. Can you please tell us if tallow is SPF 50 ? Or do I have to use sunscreen on top of it when going out in the sun?
Tallow does not have an SPF of 50, no, it's much lower than that My approach does not teach the usage of any synthetic sunscreen or retinol serums - I prefer a natural approach to skin health that focuses on the importance of getting healthy natural sunlight and acknowledges the risks of using synthetic sunscreens made of carcinogenic chemicals, Of course you are free to decide what is best for yourself, but I do not teach the usage of retinol serums or suncreens as they come with risks and are not needed at all for healthy skin or skin healing as you can see in my client results photos: instagram.com/skincoachtanel/
