Tallow has antimicrobial properties. Antimicrobial products stop the spread of micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Because it is so similar to our natural oils or "sebum", it can help keep the good skin bacteria while providing a less than ideal environment for the bad bacteria.
Tallow also contains vitamins A, D, K, and E!
But wait... Why is this important?
All of the vitamins and nutrients in tallow, combined with its compatibility with our skin, create a unique skincare base that helps our skin restore and protect itself as well as stay firm and moisturized. Tallow is also a sustainable base that not only mimics our natural sebum- its our skins natural superfood!
Ok, Ok we get it tallow is great, but what is tallow?
Well, according to Wikipedia, "Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, primarily made up of triglycerides."
At Udda Budda we ONLY use 100% Grass-fed beef tallow in our luxury body butter. We combine the tallow with hemp butter, an essential oil blend, and prickly pear oil to create a luxurious, creamy, whipped body butter that smells like a lavender field in the summertime. Unlike plant- based body butter, Udda Budda works more efficiently moisturizing your skin- a little bit goes a long way.
We always recommend starting with a pea sized amount and working you way up from there.
As with any skincare product, always test on a small patch of skin prior to use.
