Tallow is rich in vitamins A,D,E,K, and B1. Also the fatty acids in pure grass fed tallow are similar in molecular structure and composition to those found in the protective outer layer of human skin and in naturally produced skin oils (sebum). This makes grass fed tallow highly skin compatible, allowing it to absorb easily into the skin to improve the protective barrier function of the skin, prevent moisture loss and regenerate the appearance of healthy, youthful looking skin without clogging pores. Tallow possesses the conjugated linoleic acid that contains the anti-inflammatory properties that help to counteract cancer. Palmitoleic is a nutrient which is available in tallow and possesses various antimicrobial properties.
