Tallow + Eczema

Do you deal with?

Eczema, psoriasis, roscea + other skin conditions?

Here's how tallow can help ✨


Intense Hydration

If you have dermatitis, eczema and other skin conditions you will experience skin barrier disturbances which may result in dryness, cracking, weeping, inflammation and redness. The nourishing fats and antioxidants found in tallow assist your skin to heal and repair itself without causing further flare ups, improving your skin barrier without suffocating it like when using petroleum based jellies and balms.

Hydrated skin is skin that can heal!

 

Healing Fatty Acids

Tallow contains saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid), monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid and palmitoleic acid), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid and linolenic acid).

Stearic Acid: Based on a study published by the US National Library of Medicine, stearic acid successfully regulates “skin barrier function, membrane fluidity, cell signaling,” while “improving skin repair, and permeability” (77, Purnamawati). The Chemical Company (TCC), confirms that stearic acid comprises up to 30% of animal fat, but makes up less than 5% of vegetable fat.

As animal-derived fat contains higher levels of stearic acid, this suggests that beef tallow may provide a significant advantage over fats derived from plants.
Oleic Acid: Based on a study published by the US National Library of Medicine, oleic acid “had the best potential to be used as a drug candidate in atopic dermatitis treatment” (6, Earlia).

CLA: Tallow contains a significant amount of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). According to a study proctored by NIH’s National Center for Biotechnology Information, topically-applied CLA reduced symptoms of atopic dermatitis-like lesions in mice. Reduction of symptoms was evidenced by increased skin hydration, decreased abnormally high pH levels, and inhibited scratching behavior after a 13 day topical application period of 5% CLA. Trial participants who reported less dryness and itchiness may have found success due to CLA levels found in tallow.

CLA From Grass-Fed Cows: According to a study by USDA’s Agricultural Research Center, cows raised on permanent pasture had 500% more CLA compared to cows fed a combination of forage and grain. As grass-fed tallow contains higher levels of CLA, this suggests that topically-applied grass-fed tallow may provide a significant advantage over other tallow-based products

 

Nourishing Vitamins + Antioxidants

Grass-fed and finished tallow contains high concentrations of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are all vital for skin health!

Vitamin A: Protects against UV damage and slows the signs of aging. It also encourages healthy skin cell production, increasing cell turnover. It boosts collagen and minimizes fine lines, acne and hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin D: Calms inflammation, protects the skin, and improves cell turnover. Can help soothe skin conditions like dry skin, psoriasis, and eczema.

Vitamin K: Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier function, enabling it to grow stronger and to retain hydration for longer. Beneficial for conditions like eczema & psoriasis, as it inhibits the inflammation typical of these skin conditions.

Vitamin E: Promotes cell turnover and regeneration, so it brings new cells to the surface faster.
