Tallow in autumn and winter: protection for dry & cracked skin

Winter is just around the corner and with it the challenges that cold weather and dry heated air bring to our skin. When temperatures drop, our skin particularly suffers; it becomes dry, brittle and can even crack. Some areas of the body are particularly badly affected, such as the hands and face. This is exactly where Tallow comes into play as protection for your skin to see you through the cold months.

From October onwards, air humidity is significantly reduced by heating air indoors. This puts strain on our skin. Because cold, windy weather conditions outside and dry heating air indoors deprive the skin of important moisture. What's left is rough, tight and sometimes even itchy skin that desperately needs care and protection. Many people know the feeling when the skin loses elasticity, becomes brittle and cracks.

Tallow, or in German “Beef tallow“, comes from the highest quality fat from Swiss grass-fed cattle and is a 100% natural ingredient without chemical additives. What makes Tallow so unique is its lipid structure, which is very similar to human skin. This allows it to penetrate deep into the skin and provide optimal care, which is particularly advantageous in winter.

Tallow in fall/winter offers the following advantages:

• Natural moisture: Tallow helps strengthen the skin's natural barrier and retain moisture, which is especially important when skin is stressed by cold and dry air.
• Protection against dryness and cracks: The deep care from Tallow makes the skin beautifully supple and elastic again; Cracked areas are effectively eliminated.
• Chemical-free: While many traditional skin care products contain synthetic ingredients that can cause long-term damage to the skin, Tallow is completely natural. It contains no artificial fragrances or preservatives that could irritate the skin.

No matter if you too drier, normal or sensitive skin, Tallow is the perfect solution for your winter care. Especially in Central Europe, where winters are often long and cold, Tallow Balm helps maintain your skin's protection and keep it hydrated throughout the day. Thanks to its airy consistency, our Tallow Balm is easy to apply and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film - ideal for having supple skin on the go.

Applying Tallow regularly after showering or bathing helps maintain the skin's natural moisture and prevents dry, cracked areas. This ensures that the natural protection of the skin barrier is maintained. Particularly stressed skin areas such as Hands, elbows and heels benefit from the intensive care Tallow Balm.

Our tip for areas of skin that are already very damaged: Use a generous amount of Tallow Balm before going to bed and wear light cotton gloves or socks for protection - this way your skin will wake up wonderfully soft and well-groomed the next morning.
