If you are someone that only buys natural skin care products online, you have probably seen everyone offering creams containing tallow. Tallow is the rendered form of beef suet made from the hard fatty tissue around the cow’s organs, especially the kidneys and loins of the cow. It is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, choline, and essential fatty acids, including omega-3, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and stearic acid.
While tallow can be made at home from high quality (grass-fed) fat trimmings such as cuts like brisket, it is time consuming to make and may spoil quickly if not made correctly.
Although pure beef tallow is excellent for cooking, it is not necessarily the best for all skin types due to its heaviness. That is why many skin care companies blend other oils into the tallow to make it suitable for all skin types. But do you know what oils larger skin manufacturers are using, the purity, or how long their product has been on the shelf?
That is why we developed Hillview Craft Tallow Skin Cream. Made in small batches at Bagley Farm, this tallow skin cream is created with the same tallow we sell at Bagley Farms Meat Market for cooking—with the addition of several plant-based oils to keep it shelf-stable and add extra health benefits.
It is fragrance-free, so you have one less thing to worry about. Always test a new cream on a small patch of skin such as your upper arm or thigh to make sure you do not have a reaction to any of the ingredients. You will notice an improvement in your skin texture and appearance in as little as a month.
As an ingredient in skin cream, tallow mimics the skin’s natural oils, hydrating deeply without clogging your pores. It also soothes sunburns and other forms of inflammation and irritation.
We also include jojoba oil, rosehip oil, flaxseed oil, honey, and Vitamin E to provide additional benefits.
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that mimics the skin’s sebum (oil). It balances your skin’s oil production without clogging pores and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties due to its high Vitamin E and B-complex content. Jojoba oil is lightweight, allowing it to be absorbed quickly and hydrate deeply.
Rosehip oil is full of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A and C, and other antioxidants. This oil helps fade dark spots and reduces the appearance of scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone because of its regenerative properties.
Flaxseed oil contains both alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and lignans, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich oil that supports hydration, elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss.
Honey makes our rich cream suitable for acne-prone skin because of its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that clean pores, keep them unclogged, and prevent breakouts. It also exfoliates, keeping your skin young-looking and radiant.
Vitamin E not only protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV rays and environmental pollution but also stabilizes the other oils to keep the cream from becoming rancid. It helps them work together to enhance each ingredient’s potential.
A 2-ounce jar tallow balm is $23.99, and a 4-ounce jar is $42.99 at www.hillviewtallow.com, guaranteed to be fresh. Because we make our cream in small batches, it isn’t stuck in a large warehouse for months.
A little bit goes a long way—just a quarter-sized amount will satisfy your face’s cravings for moisture. A jar will last at least three months; if you store it in a cool, dark place (not your bathroom sink), it can last for up to a year.
