What Is Beef Tallow and Why Use It in Skincare?


Beef tallow is rendered and purified fat from grass-fed, ethically raised cows, and it’s been used for centuries as a natural moisturizer and healing balm. Unlike modern synthetic oils, beef tallow is remarkably similar to the oils our skin naturally produces, which is why it absorbs so well and supports healthy, balanced skin.

Rich in nourishing fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, beef tallow helps to repair the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and improve elasticity. It’s gentle enough for sensitive or dry skin, yet deeply restorative, making it a timeless solution for lasting hydration and radiance.

At Myoko Embodied, our creams harness the purity of beef tallow combined with botanical extracts to create skincare that is simple, natural, and deeply aligned with the rhythms of nature. Using beef tallow means choosing a product that works in harmony with your skin, rather than layering on chemicals, and embracing a mindful, sustainable approach to self-care.

Beef tallow isn’t just an ingredient; it’s a natural, time-tested skincare ally that has been used across the world for hundreds, even thousands, of years. From ancient European apothecaries to traditional rural households in Asia and beyond, people have relied on beef tallow for its nourishing and protective properties. It’s a whole-food ingredient that has stood the test of time, offering skin the nutrients it needs to thrive naturally. When you choose beef tallow, you’re connecting with centuries of wisdom and embracing a skincare practice that is rooted in the earth and in harmony with nature.
