Ingredients

Saturated fatty acids

Stearic acid (C18:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), myristic acid
Saturated fatty acids
  • Forms a protective lipid film on the skin.
  • Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • Supports the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum

Simply unsaturated fatty acids

Oleic acid (C18:1)
Simply unsaturated fatty acids
  • can improve skin texture and smoothness
  • can improve the absorption of other nutrients
  • Supports the recovery of dry or irritated skin

Essential fatty acids

Linoleic acid (Omega-6), ALA (Omega-3, small amounts), CLA
Essential fatty acids
  • Anti-inflammatory effect
  • Restores the barrier function for dry skin prone to acne or eczema
  • CLA can support antimicrobial properties

Glycerin

Naturally present in small amounts (especially when unrefined)
Glycerin
  • Acts as a moisturizer and draws water into the skin.
  • Supports the skin’s moisture supply and plumpness.
  • Long-lasting hydration.
  • High skin compatibility




Fat-soluble vitamins

Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), Vitamin E (tocopherol), D, K2
Fat-soluble vitamins
  • Vitamin A: supports cell renewal, reduces rough skin texture, aids collagen synthesis
  • Vitamin E: Powerful antioxidant, protects against UV radiation and oxidative damage



Cholesterol

Naturally present in beef tallow
Cholesterol
  • Essential for skin barrier restructuring
  • Works together with fatty acids and ceramides to help maintain the skin's resilience

This is what makes beef tallow a miracle ingredient in skincare

Tallow, purified beef tallow, is one of the most skin-compatible ingredients out there. Not a trendy ingredient, not an exotic extract, but an age-old remedy that simply works.

  • Skin-identical lipids

    Tallow contains fatty acids such as stearic acid and palmitic acid, which are found in almost identical form in our natural skin barrier.

  • Fat-soluble vitamins

    Tallow provides important vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. These nutrients help your skin stay resilient, supple, and radiant.

  • Good tolerability

    Because of tallow’s skin-like structure, it is generally very well tolerated. Even sensitive skin benefits from its gentle, soothing effect.

  • Sustainable and transparent

    Our tallow comes from certified organic farms in the Lake Constance region. Short supply chains, transparency, and the meaningful use of natural raw materials make our care products sustainable.

scientific facts

  • Skin barrier function

    “Up to 60% of the skin barrier consists of lipids—and beef tallow almost exactly mimics these.”

  • Saturated fatty acids reduce moisture loss

    “Stearic acid and palmitic acid, which are abundant in beef tallow, help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by forming a protective lipid layer.”

  • Beef tallow contains cholesterol—essential for repairing the skin barrier.

    "Cholesterol is crucial for restoring the skin barrier—and beef tallow contains it naturally."

  • The lipids in beef tallow are identical to those in skin

    “The fatty acid profile of beef tallow closely matches that of human sebum—making it very well tolerated and not disruptive to the skin’s microbiome.”

  • Vitamin E protects against UV damage

  • Omega-3 fatty acids and CLA help reduce inflammation

    “Tallow from grass-fed animals contains omega-3 fatty acids and CLA—known to reduce inflammation and support skin homeostasis.”

  • Glycerin is a natural moisturizer

    "Beef tallow can contain small amounts of natural glycerin—a powerful moisturizer that draws moisture into the skin."

more vitamins for you

Studies show that the fat from grass-fed cattle contains 3 to 4 times more vitamins A and E, up to 5 times more omega-3 fatty acids, and 2 to 4 times more CLA than that from grain-fed cattle. This makes it not only more ethically sourced, but also significantly richer in nutrients for your skin.
