Tallow Me Happy & Render Me in Beef Fat
Our focus is to bring self-care products back with the original ingredients, staying clear of using dyes, chemicals or toxic additives that are regularly added to them today. With this being a priority of going back to the basics, we ground ourselves again with Mother Nature and our ancestors.
Benefits of Tallow and Rosehip Oil
Tallow contains high concentrations of fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, and K in a balanced combination with their activators. This is a big reason why beef tallow has such a profound impact on your skin + overall health.
Grass-fed tallow also contains Vitamin E (four times as much as grain-fed cows). It even has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties thanks to high concentrations of essential fatty acids your skin needs, like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid.
Here’s how each of these vitamins helps your skin:
Vitamin A – Encourages the production of collagen, elastin, and healthy skin cells. This helps strengthens tissue to keep skin firm, smooth and youthful. On top of that, it has the ability to heal a variety of skin issues, like acne. It can also help slow down the effects of aging on your skin. You might recognize Vitamin A from products like Retin-A.
Vitamin D – Contributes to skin cell development, repair, metabolism, and immune function. It’s able to protect and rejuvenate your skin by protecting against free radicals that cause premature aging.
Vitamin K – Plays an important role in skin tone, texture, and overall health. It can soothe skin inflammation and irritation while helping speed up your healing.
Vitamin E – Repairs and reverses free radical damage. This powerful antioxidant can deeply hydrate and promote healing in your skin’s physical appearance.
Beef tallow is incredibly effective in improving skin cell health due to the similar makeup it has to our skin. Our cell membranes are mostly fatty acids, with at least 50% being saturated fats. Tallow is also made up of about 50% saturated fats – with the remaining being monounsaturated fats.
Having such a similar makeup means that beef tallow is incredibly compatible with our cell biology. This translates to a powerful experience that nourishes and boosts our cell health.
Skin health starts at a cellular level.
Another indication of its positive impact on our skin is its similarity to sebum. Sebum is the oily, waxy substance that moisturizes, lubricates, and protects your skin. Both sebum and tallow are mainly comprised of triglycerides which have effective emollient & skin-replenishing properties.
Fun fact: Sebum even translates to “tallow” in Latin!

I have combined 100% organic grass fed tallow with 100% organic cold pressed rosehip seed oil to create The Gilded Goddess Body & Face Oil. A perfect melange of these all natural ingredients for the perfect moisturizing, healing potion with a light scent of Jasmine & Frankincense.
HOW I GOT STARTED
After having my 1st child in my late 30's, I was struggling with hormonal acne. I had gone to numerous dermatologists and each one had me try different fungal gels that didn't work for my skin. Eventually, with my background in aesthetics and educating myself about all of the benefits of tallow, I created my own tallow body & skin care line with clean and simple ingredients that are even safe for our babies and children. Now, I am filled with joy to be able to share these simple but effective tallow products with all of you!
