Tallow vs. Seed Oils: What’s Really Better for Your Skin?

If you’re committed to eating clean and ditching seed oils from your diet, it might be time to do the same for your skincare routine. At MOOey MOOey, we believe what you put on your body should be just as clean and nourishing as what you put in it—and that’s where tallow comes in.

🌿 The Rise of Seed Oils in Modern Skincare

Seed oils like canola, sunflower, soybean, and grapeseed have become common in commercial skincare. They’re cheap, lightweight, and easy to produce—but that doesn’t mean they’re great for your skin.

Many seed oils are highly processed, oxidize quickly, and can disrupt your skin’s natural barrier. Over time, this can lead to dryness, breakouts, sensitivity, and premature aging.

🧁 Why Tallow is a Better Choice

Tallow, especially from grass-fed cows, is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), palmitoleic acid, and stearic acid—all of which deeply nourish, protect, and support healthy skin.

Even better? Tallow is structurally similar to the natural oils your skin produces (aka sebum), making it incredibly bioavailable and easy to absorb. It doesn’t just sit on your skin—it works with it.

🚫 No Fillers. No Junk. No Toxins.

Most seed oil-based products are loaded with synthetic preservatives, fragrances, and stabilizers. Tallow doesn’t need all that. When paired with a few clean, natural ingredients (like organic olive oil and essential oils), it becomes a powerful, simple solution for anyone looking to care for their skin naturally.

💼 Bottom Line: Tallow Wins

If you’re tired of guessing what’s in your skincare and want a more ancestral, skin-compatible alternative to seed oil-laden products, tallow is the clear winner.

At MOOey MOOey, we use only grass-fed, USA-sourced tallow to create small-batch skincare that’s gentle, effective, and 100% natural.
