Using tallow to moisturize skin, reduce acne and protect the skin barrier took off on TikTok, and this fatty acid-rich ingredient is the star of Tau Tau Skin tallow-based skincare. This nutrient-dense hero ingredient is the base of all the brand's luxuriously textured, handmade skincare, and it's sourced from local farms.
The Youth Alchemy Tallow Anti-Aging Balm is touted as an all-natural, non-toxic retinol alternative for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting the production of collagen for a fresh-faced, youthful-looking glow. The dye-free, tallow-based skincare balm also contains bakuchiol, pomegranate seed oil, jojoba, and rosehip. Unlike many anti-aging products with ingredients that may cause sensitivity and are best used at night, this one is unlikely to cause purging and can be used anytime.
Alongside this anti-aging balm, Tau Tau Skin offers a Nourishing Face Balm, as well as tallow-based whipped body butters.
