There are a lot of products that promise your skin the world.
But very few actually speak your skin’s biochemical language.
So when beef tallow started making waves in the wellness skincare world, I got curious. I started looking around, found Momona Skin’s Super Tallow, and I haven’t looked back.
Since finding Momona, I haven’t used any other moisturizer — or if I’m being honest, any other skincare at all. Just a gentle cleanser and Momona Super Tallow. That’s it. (I can hear you skincare lovers gasping right now, but truly — that’s my whole routine.)
Why Tallow Works So Well
According to a 2024 scoping review published by the NIH, tallow is naturally rich in the same lipids your skin barrier is made of. (Oleic acid, Palmitic acid, Stearic acid, Linoleic acid, Plus naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12)
Dermatologists have acknowledged that beef tallow provides emollient benefits (softening rough skin cells) and hydration benefits by reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier.
In plain English?
Tallow doesn’t just sit on your skin — it blends into your natural lipid structure, helping to lock in moisture, reduce water loss, and soften skin without relying on synthetic additives or harsh preservatives.
Why Momona’s Super Tallow Stands Out
Seriously No (beef-like) Fragrance:
Just pure tallow in an airless pump (which I looooove) — clean, stable, and safe even for the most sensitive skin types (insert hand raise emoji – I have the most sensi of the sensitive skins)
Zero Seed Oils:
Unlike many moisturizers that sneak in unstable oils (like grapeseed or sunflower), Momona is completely seed oil–free — no risk of lipid oxidation that can irritate or prematurely age the skin.
100% Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Tallow:
Sourced from ethical farms and processed minimally to preserve bioactivity.
Low-Heat Processing:
Protects delicate vitamins and fatty acids so they’re still effective when they hit your skin.
What I Personally Experienced
Since switching to Super Tallow, I noticed:
Immediate softness without any heaviness
Longer-lasting hydration (my skin stayed dewy)
Less redness and irritation, almost immediately.
A Few Things to Know
Dermatologists still recommend caution when using DIY or non-purified tallow, mainly because of contamination risks or inconsistent quality. (That’s another reason I like Momona — every jar is sourced, processed, and packaged with precision, not scooped out of a kitchen batch.)
Clean. Easy to use. Reliable. Exactly what I want in something I’m trusting my skin barrier with. Its defiantly a new forever product for me.
