You’re Putting Over 150 Chemicals on Your Skin Every Day

You’re Putting Over 150 Chemicals on Your Skin Every Day

Why Ditching Hidden Toxins for Tallow Could Change Everything

Every day, the average woman applies over 150 chemicals to her skin before leaving the house—through lotions, serums, cleansers, shampoos, deodorants, and makeup. Many of these ingredients are unregulated, untested for long-term safety, and silently absorbed into the bloodstream.

They hide behind words like “clean,” “fragrance,” “safe,” and “natural”. But here’s what they often include:

🚫 Common Toxins Found in Everyday Skincare

  • Parabens – linked to hormone disruption and reproductive issues
  • Phthalates – commonly found in synthetic fragrance; connected to fertility problems and thyroid interference
  • Formaldehyde releasers – a known carcinogen used in many “preservative” blends
  • Synthetic fragrance/parfum – a cocktail of dozens of undisclosed chemicals
  • Phenoxyethanol – widely used as a preservative, but known to cause skin and lung irritation
  • SLS/SLES (Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate) – strips the skin of its protective oils and is known to irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
  • Silicones & PEGs – give a “smooth” feel but can trap dirt and prevent the skin from breathing

And that’s just the start. When applied daily, these toxins don’t just sit on your skin—they enter your bloodstream, burden your liver, and impact your endocrine, immune, and nervous systems over time.

The Case for Returning to Nature

At Tallow Essence, we believe your skincare should be as safe and nourishing as your food.
Our ancestors didn’t have synthetics—and they didn’t need them. They relied on simple, bioavailable ingredients that supported their skin from the outside and inside.

Our hero ingredient?
Grass-fed suet tallow is rich in skin-loving vitamins A, D, E & K, and fatty acids that strengthen your skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular regeneration.

Why Tallow-Based Skincare Is Different

  • No synthetic fillers, stabilizers, or preservatives
  • No hormone-disrupting ingredients
  • No greenwashed labels—just real transparency
  • Formulated with intention, in small batches, using only ingredients your skin recognizes and thrives on

With blends like Frankincense, Myrrh & Lemongrass for hormone balance, Lavender for calming inflammation, and Manuka Honey for healing and hydration, you’re not just switching products, you’re changing the way you care for your body.

Skincare That Loves You Back

Your skin is your largest organ.
It protects you. Absorbs what you feed it. And speaks up when it’s overwhelmed.
What if you started listening?

Switching to tallow-based skincare is more than a detox, it’s a return.
To simplicity. To nature. To the body’s own intelligence.

You deserve skincare that loves you back.
