What: The Washington Post explores using beef tallow as a natural moisturizer, highlighting its popularity on social media platforms like TikTok. Proponents claim that beef tallow, rich in fatty acids, can hydrate the skin and treat conditions such as eczema and acne. However, dermatologists caution that while it may offer moisturizing benefits, beef tallow could clog pores, potentially leading to acne, especially in individuals with oily or acne-prone skin. They advise consulting a dermatologist before incorporating it into a skincare routine.

Key line: “But there’s no evidence to show beef tallow is better than conventional moisturizers, said Bruce Brod, a clinical professor of dermatology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.”
