Found in Dial it Back, Daily Defense and all our Tallow Whips.Melts on contact with warm skin and leaves it feeling cushioned and soft. Once it has sunk in, there is no greasy film left. Beef tallow in skincare primarily functions as a heavy emollient and occlusive, backed by basic lipid composition and limited scoping reviews rather than robust, controlled human clinical trials.More about Grass-fed Tallow → • SqualaneSqualane is the saturated, hydrogenated form of squalene, a natural lipid that makes up roughly 10% to 12% of human sebum.
