Kolme Cosmetics tallow balms contain Finnish, organic, grass-fed tallow. Tallow, or beef fat, is the closest oil to the fat profile of human skin used in cosmetics, making it highly effective in skincare. Tallow balms nourish, protect, and soften the skin and are suitable for all skin types. Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in bioactive retinol (vitamin A) – you can probably guess which the skin can utilize better, synthetic or natural (animal-derived). The tallow we use comes from a Finnish organic Highland cattle farm and is a waste raw material that would otherwise go to waste. Read our blog post about the benefits of tallow for the skin.
