The most natural, nourishing and versatile skincare product you can own!
First off, what is tallow? The short answer is rendered beef fat. Yes, beef fat! If this is a new concept to you I know that rubbing beef fat all over your body sound’s a little out there but hear me out! Tallow has actually been used for centuries for skin care by our ancestors to heal, repair, and nourish the skin and let me tell you they knew what they were doing! Tallow is actual medicine for our skin and can be used for just about any skin condition, on any skin type and on both the face and body!
Purified and rendered beef fat from 100% grass fed, pasture raised cows is packed with anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and skin repairing properties. Tallow is rich in oleic, palmitic, and stearic acid which are all known for their abilities to deeply penetrate the skin and prevent water loss from the skin’s surface. Tallow naturally contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which is known to amazingly have anti-cancer, anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties and it protects your skin. It aides in skin regeneration which is why it has been shown to heal damaged skin and reduce wrinkles. It’s also full of fat soluble vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K which are only found in animal precuts. Tallow is extremely compatible with the oil our skin naturally produces. It shares a very similar biology, which is why our skin responds so well to it! It absorbs so easily and actually improves and nourishes the protective barrier of our skin whereas most conventional creams destroy and suffocate it. It’s also loaded with antioxidants which help reduce oxidative stress and signs of aging. It’s basically the most natural, most nourishing and the most versatile skincare product you can own :)
Why Beef Tallow?
Hi! I’m Sarah
I’m the face behind “Once Empowered”. I am a mama bear of two to Aubrey & Austin. My husband, kids and I live on one acre and are on a path of self sufficiency and are creating a rooted home. I am a completely different person than I was five years ago and continue to learn and grow everyday.
What started for me as just a job at a holistic dental office turned out to be something that would change my entire outlook of life and wake me up to things I had no idea about. Once my eyes were opened and I learned the truth, I couldn’t stop looking. Since then I have been on a mission to take control of my life, health and happiness.
I had my son at home (after Cesarean) and that took me to a level of empowerment I didn’t even know I could feel and I proved to myself and others what was possible. I became informed about birth before and after and put in the work and I did it and it was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately around four months something I wasn’t expecting happened and my son developed horrible eczema. What a roller coaster ride it’s been and once again I was reminded that the doctors don’t always know what’s best and it has been another opportunity to learn and grow.
Fast forward to a few months ago when my path of research led me to the introduction of beef tallow. I immediately fell in love and was amazed at how much it helped my sons skin and now our whole family uses it! That’s when I started to make my own and this passion of mine was born.
I am so proud to be providing families truly safe, natural, healing skincare products and I am so excited to see where this journey takes me!
