Beef tallow is trending, we're sticking with aloe
There’s a growing buzz online about using beef tallow skincare. While the idea of natural ingredients is appealing, this trend isn’t one we are getting behind - or one your skin will thank you for. Even Queensland Health is skipping this trend, and so should you.
Why we’re saying no to beef tallow skincare:
- Tallow is rendered animal fat – it can mimic some of the skin’s natural oils, but it’s highly comedogenic (aka pore-clogging), especially for oily or acne-prone skin.
- Not ethical or sustainable – tallow isn’t vegan, cruelty-free, or environmentally friendly like plant-based alternatives.
- Limited skin benefits – while it may provide some moisture, it doesn’t nourish, soothe, or support your skin in the way natural botanicals can.
Why organic aloe vera is the superior choice:
- Plant-powered hydration – nourishes and soothes skin deeply without clogging pores.
- Gentle and effective – safe for daily use on all skin types.
- Kind to your values – vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable.

Skip the fat, keep the glow with Vital Skin Oils
Vital Skin Oils combines organic aloe vera and botanicals with jojoba oil for lightweight, non-greasy hydration. It restores, balances, and deeply nourishes without clogging pores or using any animal fats. Perfect for all skin types.

In summary
Beef tallow skincare might be trending, but plant-powered alternatives like aloe vera deliver better results, ethical sourcing, and skin-friendly benefits you can feel.
