I’m 57. And for the last three years I watched my skin age faster than the previous thirty combined. Fine lines turned into creases, my cheeks went flat, my neck went crepey, and my once-dewy complexion turned dull and dry, no matter how much “clean” moisturizer I layered on.

​

Worse: I started reading the labels on everything I’d trusted for decades. Phthalates, parabens, phenoxyethanol, “fragrance,” silicones, PEGs… almost every serum, cream, and body lotion I owned contained known or suspected endocrine disruptors. The very things that can create hormonal chaos. I was disheartened and threw everything out.

​

That’s when I went back to basics and re-discovered grass-fed beef tallow and everything changed.

​

Here’s why, at 57, I will never go back:

 

• Zero hormone disruptors – period Pure tallow has one ingredient: rendered fat from grass-finished cows. No preservatives, no fragrance, no plasticizers, no estrogen-mimicking chemicals sneaking past my skin barrier and into my already-struggling hormones.

​

• It feeds my skin what menopause stole Tallow is rich in the exact same fatty acids (stearic, oleic, palmitic) that human sebum is made of, the sebum we stop producing in abundance when estrogen plummets. It also delivers fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2 in their natural, bio-identical forms. My skin recognizes it as food, not a foreign substance.

​

• My sensitive, reactive skin calmed down immediately No more redness or stinging from “natural” essential oils or preservatives. Tallow is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial by nature. For the first time in years, my rosacea-prone cheeks are quiet.

​

• It’s the ultimate “clean” and ancestral choice My great-grandmothers didn’t have access to 2025’s toxic soup of synthetic skincare. They had lard, tallow, and olive oil. I choose to stand with them. There’s something deeply empowering about using a product that is literally food-grade.

​

• It’s the only thing that has slowed the aging clock without compromising my hormones I’m not chasing “anti-aging.” I’m chasing healthy, functioning, resilient skin while protecting what little estrogen and progesterone I have left. Tallow lets me do both.

​

I’m 57, not 30. I have laugh lines and earned every one. But I refuse to let endocrine disruptors in pretty jars steal the softness, glow, and comfort I still deserve.

​

So yes, I rub grass-fed beef fat on my face, neck, and body every single day, and I’ve never felt more beautiful, more in control, or more aligned with my values.

​

If you’re tired of reading scary ingredient lists, and want your skin to feel like YOURS again, try real tallow from pastured cows. Your skin will know exactly what to do with it.

​

And you’ll never look back.
