TALLOW:

* Tallow is antioxidant rich with vitamins A, E, D and K. Antioxidants fight free radicals which break down collagen resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and loose skin. This is why antioxidants keep our skin looking and feeling younger for longer.

* Tallow has excellent anti-inflammatory properties through vitamins E, D and K thanks to its ability to block enzymes that cause disruption in the skin.

* Thanks to vitamin A, tallow won't clog your pours! Because the suet used to make tallow is naturally compatible with the molecular structure of our skin, it acts as a natural sebum that doesn’t clog our pours while reducing acne and skin irritation. It also has anti microbial properties!

* The vitamin E in tallow is known for its antiaging properties because it helps to stimulate blood flow which increases the production of collagen. It is also excellent in reducing redness and irritation while helping skin to heal faster.

* Vitamin K is known as the skin healer because it aids in improving blood circulation, which helps get essential nutrients to the skin. That, along with its antioxidant properties, which protect your skin from a free radicals and UV damage from the sun, vitamin K plays a critical role in your skin care.

* Tallow also contains vitamin B12, which is known as the energy vitamin. This is because it aids in the production of red blood cells that help carry oxygen to the blood resulting in vibrant, radiant, healthy skin! Vitamin B12 is also excellent in helping to regenerate and renew skin, resulting in less fine lines and wrinkles and healthier, younger, looking skin.

* Because tallow is so bio-similar to our skin’s natural structure, it is not only incredibly moisturizing and is able to fully absorb into our skin, but it also helps to create a natural barrier on our skin, which helps to lock in and maintain moisture.

COCONUT OIL:

* Incredibly moisturizing, helping to protect the skin's moisture barrier.

* It's also been proven to reduce sun damage through absorbing UVB rays which reduces your skin's inflammatory response, which in turn is now thought to have the potential to help prevent skin cancer.
