Is beef tallow a good skincare moisturizer?

According to Pew Research Center, 79% of New Year's resolutions are
about one thing: health. It's Been a Minute is kicking off 2025
with a little series called "new year, new me." We're getting into

rendered from suet is one of the trends du jour. Brittany Luse sits

beauty journalist Jennifer Sullivan to understand why the beef
tallow trend has taken off, what it says about what we value in our
skin care, and whether we should be using beef tallow at all.
