Why We Chose Tallow for Skincare  - AZ Naturally

Why We Chose Tallow for Skincare 

Over the years of creating skincare products, AZ Naturally has experimented with a wide variety of natural oils. While they all have their benefits, we found ourselves consistently coming back to one ingredient that transformed my approach to skincare: grass-fed/finished tallow

Here’s why we've fallen in love with using tallow in most of our formulations:

Nutrient-Rich & Skin-Compatible: Tallow is packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K—key nutrients that support skin health and rejuvenation. What makes it so special is that its composition closely mirrors the structure of our skin’s natural oils, allowing it to deeply nourish and moisturize without clogging pores.

Deep Hydration: Tallow is an incredible emollient, which means it helps lock in moisture and keeps the skin hydrated longer. This makes it especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or mature skin. 

Anti-Inflammatory: Rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), tallow has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated skin and support conditions like eczema and dermatitis.

Ethical & Sustainable: At AZ Naturally, we only use only 100% grass-fed/finished tallow, sourced from a local regenerative farm. It’s a byproduct of the meat industry, meaning it supports a low-waste approach, making it an eco-friendly choice for those who care about sustainability.

We believe tallow is one of the best natural ingredients for healthy, radiant skin, and we're proud to incorporate it into our Tallow Whip, Tallow Soaps, and other skincare products.  If you’re looking for a skincare product that’s both deeply nourishing and kind to your skin, we highly recommend giving tallow a try!
