I'm seeing tallow in face creams and bars of soap.  Is this now the latest & greatest in skincare?  Can't imagine the smell or how greasy it is.

Not for me.  I would try coconut oil first.

It's for sale all over the place. The barn store we shop at has a couple of vendors that sell it.

I bought a small pot to try. While it made my hands soft I can't deal with the fragrance. It has lemongrass in it which causes my eyes to burn & run. I did like their bar soap.

I have read a little about using beef tallow. It says you want products made with the leaf fat from grass fed pasture raised beef. It shouldn't be beefy stinky. 

I found one place called Sun & Moo which uses the leaf fat. I have not looked farther to see where else it's sold etc. I would use some of this but don't want beef tallow on it's own that stinks.

Not for me either!  Sounds like something pioneer women would do.  What's next...bacon fat? 

[SandGirl]

Not for me either.

People are eating beef tallow too.

They act like saturated fats won't clog arteries. They need to start listening to cardiologist instead of chiropractors!

where is the science on this as to being of any use?

Don't knock it until you've tried it.  I got some for me and 2 other family members at Christmas and we all love it ! In fact, I have quit using all of my expensive face products and just use the beef tallow.  Sure it goes on kind of greasy - but in a few minutes, it sinks in.  I've reordered also...don't want to be without.

I will just say no.

Just the idea makes me nauseous.

Have you noticed how many new things pop up in skin care?  How many miracle products work any different?  I think the rage is $$$$$$$, not results.

Tallow has to be cheap cheap cheap to put in cosmetics.
