If you're using our balm, you probably already know how amazing tallow is for dry or sensitive skin. But have you ever wondered why Australian tallow — specifically — is such a standout?
The answer lies in Australia’s unique environment, ethical farming practices, and the science-backed benefits of grass-fed beef tallow.
🌿 Why Australia Makes the Best Tallow
Australia is one of the best places in the world to raise grass-fed cattle. Why? Because of our climate, landscape, and traditional grazing systems.
According to the FAO, Australia spans a huge variety of climates and grassland ecosystems making it ideal for raising cattle on natural forage, not grain.
The southern and coastal regions which experience mild temperatures and adequate rainfall year-round are ideal for grazing. There are few places on earth with such a consistently good climate for cattle.
Just look at the grass here!
🌿 Australia's Grass-Fed Advantage
Australia leads the world in grass-fed beef production, with roughly 50% of our beef being grass-fed and finished (CSIRO), compared to only 4% in the US. This is due to our abundant grazing land and traditional farming practices . Our cattle are raised on large, open pastures, allowing them to graze freely and live naturally.
This not only ensures healthier cattle but also results in superior quality tallow, rich in nutrients beneficial for the skin.
🧬 What Makes Grass-Fed Tallow So Good for Skin?
Beef tallow isn’t just any fat — especially when it’s grass-fed. Research shows that tallow is packed with fatty acids and vitamins that support healthy, hydrated skin. In fact, most of the benefits of grass fed beef goes to the fat!
Grass-fed tallow contains high levels of:
-Oleic acid – helps lock in moisture
-Stearic acid – strengthens the skin barrier
-Palmitic acid – protects and softens the skin
-Fat-soluble vitamins – A, D, E, and K, which support skin repair and elasticity
These are the same types of fats found naturally in human skin oils, which is why beef tallow is often described as “bio-identical” — it absorbs easily and works in harmony with your skin.
Even dermatologists back it. As National Geographic reports, beef tallow has “naturally occurring ingredients that can mimic the skin’s natural barrier,” making it especially effective for mature or sensitive skin types.
💧 Ideal for Dry, Sensitive, or Mature Skin
Because tallow closely mimics our skin's natural oils, it's often better tolerated than synthetic creams or even some "natural" seed oils. It's deeply moisturizing without clogging pores, making it ideal for:
-
Dry patches
-
Flaky or cracked skin
-
Eczema-prone areas
-
Mature skin needing a lipid boost
Regular use can help maintain a healthy skin barrier, keeping your skin resilient and nourished.
