Why Tallow?

Garden Glow Tallow-based skincare products are derived from grass fed local cows near London, Ontario. 

 Here's why we chose tallow as our main ingredient for our Garden Glow products. 

Here are just a few of the advantages from using Garden Glow tallow-based skincare products:

  • Rich in Nutrients: Tallow is a natural source of various nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins play essential roles in skin health, such as promoting skin regeneration, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall skin vitality.
  • Similar to Skin Lipids: Tallow is composed of fatty acids that are similar to those found in human skin. This similarity can make tallow-based products well-tolerated by the skin and can help maintain the skin's natural lipid barrier.
  • Deeply Moisturizing: Tallow is a highly effective moisturizer. It can help lock in moisture, prevent water loss from the skin, and keep the skin hydrated and supple. This can be especially beneficial for dry or sensitive skin types.
  • Reduces Skin Irritation: Tallow-based products are often gentle on the skin and can soothe various skin irritations, including dryness, redness, and itchiness. The natural fatty acids in tallow can provide a protective barrier for the skin.
  • Anti-Inflammatory: Tallow contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce skin inflammation and calm conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
  • Hypoallergenic: Tallow-based skincare products are generally well-tolerated and have a lower risk of causing allergic reactions compared to some synthetic ingredients found in conventional skincare products.
  • Non-Comedogenic: Tallow is less likely to clog pores compared to some heavy synthetic moisturizers, making it suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin.
  • Sustainable and Waste-Reducing: Tallow-based products can be more sustainable and eco-friendly than plant-based oils or synthetic ingredients because they often utilize parts of animals that might otherwise go to waste.
  • Historical Use: Tallow has a long history of use in skincare dating back centuries. It has been used in traditional remedies and skincare preparations in various cultures.
