5 Surprising Benefits of Tallow for Your Skin


Tallow has quietly made a comeback in skincare — and for good reason. At Elaine Sol & Co., we craft our whipped tallow balms using only grass-fed suet, rich in nutrients and skin-identical fats. Here are five reasons your skin may love tallow:

  1. Deep Moisture Retention – Tallow mimics your skin's natural oils, locking in hydration better than many plant-based alternatives.

  2. Nutrient-Rich Profile – Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K — essential for healthy skin renewal and glow.

  3. Soothes Inflammation – Tallow naturally calms conditions like eczema, rosacea, and dryness.

  4. Non-Comedogenic – Contrary to myth, tallow doesn't clog pores and absorbs easily.

  5. Clean and Ancestral – No preservatives, seed oils, or synthetics. Just what your skin truly needs.

If you're looking for a return to skincare that makes sense — tallow might be your answer.
