I am always looking for the most natural products to use in my home, on my skin and especially for my children.
My boys have pretty sensitive skin and after a day of swimming in the ocean, they get quite ashy. I would always ask them to put some moisturizer on but they never liked using any of the natural products I had until now!
They love slathering on GRYS tallow! It is so soft and smooth! I also love that there is no chemical-like fragrance!
What is GRYS Skin Tallow?
GRÝS is an all-natural grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow based skin cream. GRÝS is made from only the highest quality fat (sourced from American cows) that has been rendered at low temperatures to remove all of the impurities. The result is an all-natural, smooth, creamy, nutrient-dense balm. In addition to tallow, GRÝS also includes organic sandalwood oil, organic clary sage oil, and organic aloe vera.
Nearly all first peoples, from Native Americans to Australian Aboriginals understood the healing and soothing power of rendered fat, also called tallow. There are numerous archived references to its use as a base for healing salves, ointments, and skin creams.
As people become more conscious of the risks and skin irritations associated with so many of the chemicals found in “modern” skin lotions and creams, many are seeking a more natural (and effective) alternative. Thankfully, we only need to look to our ancestors for the answer!
What are the benefits of using tallow as a moisturizer?
We now know that rendered grass-fed tallow is loaded with fat soluble Vitamins A, D, K, and E. These are like super-fuels for our skin, which absorbs this natural goodness like a sponge. But that’s not it. Tallow also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) as well as palmitoleic acid which together have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Imagine a cream that fuels and nourishes your skin from the outside! That’s tallow.
THREE benefits of using tallow moisturizer:
1. Nourishing Properties:
A beef tallow moisturizer isn’t just about hydration; it’s also a treasure trove of vital nutrients that your skin craves. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow brings a nourishing feast to your skin. These vitamins play a pivotal role in promoting a healthy complexion. Vitamin A, for instance, assists in skin regeneration and repair, while vitamin D supports skin cell growth. Vitamin E is renowned for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect your skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. Vitamin K contributes to a more even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and redness. Together, these nutrients rejuvenate your skin, leaving it looking and feeling its best.
2. Skin Barrier Protection:
Your skin’s natural barrier is like a shield, protecting you from the harsh elements of the world outside. Tallow serves as a loyal guardian, fortifying this protective barrier. It acts as a reliable ally against the onslaught of environmental factors, such as wind and pollution, that can wreak havoc on your skin. By forming a protective layer, tallow helps safeguard your skin against these aggressors while also locking in moisture. This dual action ensures that your skin remains resilient and hydrated, with reduced vulnerability to the stresses of daily life.
3. Reduced Skin Irritation:
One of the standout qualities of a beef tallow lotion in skincare is its potent anti-inflammatory properties. For those with sensitive or easily irritated skin, this natural remedy can be a game-changer. Tallow’s ability to soothe and calm the skin makes it particularly effective in soothing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It provides relief from the itching, redness, and discomfort associated with these conditions, offering a welcome respite from the daily struggles of managing irritated skin. While individual experiences may vary, many users have reported significant improvements in their skin’s condition after incorporating tallow-based products into their routines (read this blog post by the owner of GRÝS Skin here about the benefits of using a beef tallow moisturizer on his psoriasis). Additionally, several studies support the claims of tallow’s anti-inflammatory benefits, further highlighting its potential to be a soothing solution for troublesome skin issues.
