Pasture Raised Tallow

At Natures Glow Soap, we pride ourselves on using only the finest ingredients in our skincare products, and that starts with our tallow. We source our tallow from grass-fed and finished, holistically raised happy cows. But why is this so important? Here’s everything you need to know about the benefits of using tallow from grass-fed sources in your skincare routine.

The Benefits of Grass-Fed Tallow

  1. Nutrient-Rich Composition Grass-fed tallow is incredibly nutrient-dense. It contains a wide array of vitamins and minerals that are essential for healthy skin:

    • Vitamins A, D, E, and K: These fat-soluble vitamins are crucial for skin health. Vitamin A helps repair skin cells, Vitamin D supports skin cell growth and repair, Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant, and Vitamin K helps reduce dark circles and skin discolorations.
    • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These essential fats are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe and calm irritated skin.
    • Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): CLA has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, which can help with acne and other skin conditions.
    • Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid: These fatty acids provide a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and keeping the skin hydrated.

  2. Better Fatty Acid Profile Cows that are grass-fed and finished have a superior fatty acid profile compared to grain-fed cows. This means higher levels of beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids and lower levels of Omega-6 fatty acids. A balanced ratio of these fatty acids is crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting overall skin health.

  3. Natural and Pure Grass-fed tallow is free from the toxins and hormones often found in grain-fed and conventionally raised cattle. This means you’re getting a purer, more natural product that is better for your skin and overall health.

  4. Sustainable and Ethical Using tallow from grass-fed and holistically raised cows supports sustainable and ethical farming practices. These cows are raised on pasture, with plenty of space to roam and graze, leading to happier, healthier animals. This not only results in a better product for you but also promotes a more sustainable and humane way of farming.

  5. Mimics Skin’s Natural Oils The composition of tallow is very similar to the natural oils (sebum) produced by our skin. This makes tallow an excellent moisturizer that can deeply nourish and hydrate the skin without clogging pores or causing irritation.

  6. Anti-Aging Benefits The rich combination of nutrients found in grass-fed tallow helps to promote collagen production and skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use of tallow-based skincare products can lead to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

  7. Skin Healing Properties The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of grass-fed tallow can help accelerate the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It also soothes dry, itchy skin and can be beneficial for conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Why We Choose Holistically Raised Happy Cows

At naturesglowsoap.com, we believe in the holistic approach to raising animals. This means cows from our farmers

are not only grass-fed and finished but are also raised in an environment that prioritizes their well-being. They have access to clean water, fresh air, and plenty of space to graze and move around. This stress-free, natural lifestyle results in healthier cows, which in turn produces the highest quality tallow for our skincare products.
