Good, better, best, and who each one is for. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow Plenty of jars will do if your skin is easy going. If you have reacted to gentle products before, you need the bioactives that tallow is missing. Follow for the next one.

Tallow is where our jar starts. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow Castor, meadowfoam and squalane for hydration. Rosehip for vitamin A, sea buckthorn for omega 7, whole botanical infusions for antioxidants. Every one of them is doing a job tallow cannot.

Good, better, best. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow Sourcing responsibly and being open about the process earns a brand the good to better range. I build for the person who cannot afford a small risk. Follow for the rest of this series.

Here is where the tallow data comes from. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow USDA figures and independent testing agree: rendered suet carries very little nutritional density. What it is good at is its fatty acid profile. Save this before your next tallow order.

Two weeks, not months. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow The studies are not about badly stored bulk oils, they are about normal shelf life, and oxidation starts inside two weeks of air exposure. By the time you open the jar it has been going for a while.

Three ingredients is good marketing. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow I care about what the jar does for your skin. Tallow on its own does not have the nutrient density to do that whole job. Comment the ingredient list on your jar and I will read it.

Fresh oils are not fresh oils. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow Distilled, packaged, shipped to a warehouse, shipped again, then formulated. That oil has been meeting air for weeks before anyone opens the container. Save this for the next label that says fresh.

Credit where it is due. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow Catherine pointed out something I did not know. They do make a whole vanilla bean infusion with no essential oils in it, and that moves them up a category. Save this for the next time someone tells you every tallow brand is the same.

Essential oils are the caffeine pill. The whole plant is the coffee. #shelterskin #TallowSkincare #BeefTallow An essential oil is the aromatic fraction pulled out and concentrated, with everything that buffered it left behind.
