The Great Beef Tallow Debate: Ancient Remedy or Modern Fad?

The beef tallow skincare trend is everywhere on social media, but
what's the reality behind the hype? In this episode, esthetician
Trina Renea and cosmetic chemist Rebecca Gadberry reveal what
they're really observing in treatment rooms – and it's not what
influencers are promising. From the musky animal odor clients
develop to increased clogged pores and skin dependence, beef
tallow may do more harm than good. They break down the science
behind why this "ancestral remedy" disrupts your skin's natural
barrier, explain why no research supports its benefits, and share
better alternatives that work with your skin's biology. If you're
considering trying beef tallow or are currently using it, this
episode will provide the facts you need to make an informed
decision about your skincare routine.
