Tallow Healing Balm

Introducing Freyja Organic's Healing Balm 4oz.
 
Made from Grassfed, Grass Finished beef tallow and hand selected organic ingredients. This balm can be used on the entire body. It is an amaing moisturizer for the face or a healing balm for dry cracked skin.
 
Tallow helps provide an emollient skin barrier that’s beneficial for all skin types. It won’t clog pores so it’s helpful for those with acne-prone skin, oily skin, and breakouts. Tallow is gentle enough to use on babies and it’s a favorite to help with rashes. Those with eczema, psoriasis, sensitive skin, and dry skin also see improvement with tallow.
 
Beef tallow is made up of 50% saturated fat, 42% monounsaturated fat, and 4% polyunsaturated fat. It also has vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and K for skin health. Some of the skin benefits from these fat-soluble vitamins include:
Vitamin A – helps stimulate collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Improves skin elasticity and promotes skin cell turnover for smoother, less blemished skin.
Vitamin D – Decreases skin inflammation, an antioxidant that protects skin from damage, and helps prevent the buildup of dead skin cells. It also plays an important part in preventing infections.
Vitamin E – This antioxidant helps prevent free radical damage, promotes wound healing, and improves damaged skin.
Vitamin K – Can improve skin elasticity to improve stretch marks, may reduce dark spots, and promote wound healing for healthy skin.
 
You’ll also find conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in grass-fed tallow and meat. CLA has a ton of health benefits as part of a healthy diet, but it also has some skin benefits. This family of polyunsaturated fatty acids has anti-inflammatory properties and helps support the immune system. There’s some evidence that CLA and vitamin E together help rheumatoid arthritis and tallow has both.
 
More research shows CLA has cancer-fighting benefits and may protect against heart disease. A 2006 study found that beef tallow boosted CLA’s ability to fight breast cancer cells in mice. The combination helped better prevent the tumors from metastasizing and spreading. It’s important to note this is an animal study, but the outcome is promising.
 
Other essential fatty acids in tallow include oleic acid and stearic acid.
Oleic Acid – Helps our skin stay soft and flexible by creating a protective film of fatty acids on the skin. It’s also anti-inflammatory and helps regenerate skin cells.
Stearic acid – Helps protect our skin barrier (our sebum is about 11% stearic acid). It’s emollient to soften skin and helps it feel smooth and silky. Reduces flaking and itching (especially from psoriasis).
 
Healthy animal fats have a lot of benefits when we eat them, but they can also be good for skincare. Our skin makes sebum to help keep skin moisturized and protected from harmful microbes. As an animal fat, tallow is very similar to the sebum found on human skin. In fact, the word sebum in Latin translates to tallow.
