Tallow

Beef tallow is rendered fat from cows, typically sourced from the suet around the kidneys and loins. When purified, it becomes a stable, thick balm that can be used as a moisturizer, healing ointment, or skin barrier repair agent. Its fatty acid profile—mainly oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids—closely resembles the lipids in human skin, making it highly biocompatible and easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue
