Solid cow fat that has been melted- that is what beef tallow is. Does that make you want to put it on your face? I mean it doesn\u2019t sound convincing to me, but some people swear by it. So let\u2019s get to the bottom of this\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiance spoke to Chiko, aka, the skinintelligentchic on social media, a skincare enthusiast, aesthetician and dietitian about whether we should be integrating meat fats into our skincare routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe main concern is the irritation it could cause your skin, whether you are acne prone or you have dry skin.\u201d Chiko says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it is fat, people are led to believe it is moisturising. According to Dr Idriss, Beef tallow contains oleic acid, a substance that is fabricated naturally in your skin and is used a lot in skincare and beauty products.  However, the safe dose of oleic acid in products is between 1 and 10% and guess what? Beef tallow contains over 40% !! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would completely OVERWHELM your skin barrier- to put it bluntly, an oleic acid overdose. And this is only one of the many many reasons beef tallow is NOT a good replacement for your Simple daily light moisturiser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
