Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about beef tallow for skin

1. What is beef tallow for skin, and why is it used in skincare?

Beef tallow for skin is a nutrient-rich fat rendered from the suet of grass-fed cows. Traditionally used for centuries as a natural moisturiser, tallow skincare products closely mimic the skin’s own oils, making them highly compatible and nourishing. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, and essential fatty acids that help repair and protect the skin barrier.

2. Is beef tallow good for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin?

Yes. Properly rendered, high-quality beef tallow like Gaia Uncovered is non-comedogenic and works well for most skin types. Tallow balm can help balance oily skin, soothe inflammation, and support barrier repair for sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin. Many people experience reduced redness, flakiness, and irritation when switching to tallow skincare.

3. What are the benefits of using a tallow balm on your face and body?

Gaia Uncovered beef tallow skincare is deeply moisturizing and packed with nutrients from whole plant infusions that support skin health.

  • Strengthening the skin barrier and preventing moisture loss
  • Reducing dryness, flakiness, and irritation
  • Supporting natural collagen production
  • Providing antioxidants that protect against environmental stressors
  • Gentle and safe for babies and those with sensitive skin
4. How does Gaia Uncovered beef tallow skincare compare to plant oils or essential oil skincare?

Unlike seed oils that can be high in unstable polyunsaturated fats, beef tallow is low-PUFA, making it more stable and less prone to oxidation on the skin. It also contains a natural blend of fatty acids almost identical to human sebum. Unlike essential oils, which can cause irritation or sensitisation, Gaia Uncovered beef tallow skincare nourishes the skin with whole plant extracts, without added fragrance or volatile compounds.

5. Does your beef tallow have a smell?

Our high-quality, purified pasture raised beef tallow, sourced from the pristine Southern Highlands of NSW, has a very mild, almost neutral scent that fades quickly after application. We infuse our balms with whole plants for added benefits and a light, natural aroma, without the risks of essential oils.

6. Can I use your tallow balms as a daily moisturiser?

Absolutely. Our beef tallow balms can replace conventional lotions or creams. They are especially beneficial as a night moisturiser, barrier repair balm, or all-over body balm for dry or compromised skin. A little goes a long way!

8. Is tallow skincare safe for babies and during pregnancy?

Our pure, additive-free beef tallow balms are safe for delicate and sensitive skin, making them ideal for baby care, including nappy rash and dry patches. During pregnancy, many women choose tallow balms to soothe stretching skin naturally, without synthetic additives or harsh chemicals.
