Why your skin dries out in winter—and what truly helps

When frost is tapping at the windows outside and the heating is drying out the air inside, you notice it immediately: your skin feels tight, dry and just doesn’t glow anymore. Cold, dry air and temperature changes strip away the lipids it needs to stay supple. The result: tightness, rough patches and a tired‑looking complexion.

Why conventional creams often fail

Many creams are more than 90% water—they sound light and refreshing, but that’s exactly the problem. As soon as the water evaporates, the skin is left unprotected. Without natural lipids, the skin can’t hold on to moisture, and dry patches quickly return.

Beef tallow – natural lipids for winter‑stressed skin

Beef tallow is the most skin-like lipid substance found in nature. It blends seamlessly with your skin’s own fats, penetrates deeply and helps bring the skin barrier back into balance. This keeps moisture where it’s needed, and the skin feels soft, supple and thoroughly protected – even on the coldest days.

Beef tallow has an occlusive effect—that means it locks moisture into the skin and prevents it from evaporating further. Excessive water loss can, in the long term, lead to dryness, irritation and a weakened skin barrier.

Thanks to this effect, beef tallow has been shown to reduce transepidermal water loss by up to 63%.* This keeps moisture where it’s needed, and even on the coldest winter days the skin feels supple, protected and thoroughly cared for.

What makes beef tallow better than other skincare

Compared to water‑based or conventional creams, beef tallow can:

• Effectively relieve dryness and feelings of tightness
• Strengthen the skin barrier and protect against moisture loss
• Soothe dry, sensitive or stressed skin
• Ensure a long‑term feeling of smooth, healthy skin

Gentle and versatile

Beef tallow absorbs quickly, is non‑greasy and is suitable for the face, neck, hands or any dry area. Even sensitive skin is left soft and supple—ideal for the cold season.

Winter care that you can really feel working

With beef‑tallow‑based products, the skin gets exactly what it needs right now: deep‑acting moisture, protection from cold and stress, and a pleasantly soft feel. This way you can enjoy the winter months carefree—with skin that is visibly nourished and strengthened.
