The better the moisturizer, the better the results.

And tallow is well known as the best.

Tallow is packed with skin-boosting nutrients, including Vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K, as well as beneficial fatty acids.

Only lotions derived from animals can naturally supply such powerful vitamins.

All Forbidden Sugar skincare products are appropriate for all skin types to use, even acne-prone.

This is some text inside of a div block.

What is tallow, and what are the benefits of using it for skincare?

Tallow is a moisturizer made from rendered beef fat. It is a natural ingredient that has been used for centuries to improve skin health, and is known for its ability to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin.

How often should I use FS products?

Tallow cream can be used daily, both in the morning and at night, to keep your skin moisturized and healthy.

How should I apply FS face cream or body balm?

Tallow is a concentrated lotion, and applying excessive amounts may result in long absorption times.

For best results, only use small, pea-sized amount, warm and soften in-between your fingertips or on your palms, then apply a thin layer.

Please note: Tallow is a concentrated ingredient, and applying an excessive amount may result in a long absorption time.

For best results, use a pea-sized amount, warm it in between your palms, then apply.

‍

Prep Your Skin

Begin with clean, dry skin. This ensures optimal absorption of the cream.

Soften and Warm

Scoop a small amount of the tallow cream using a clean fingertip or the provided applicator. Rub it between your fingers or in the palm of your hands until it warms and softens enough so only a thin layer can be applied.

Apply

After spreading the cream, use your fingers to massage the product into your skin.

Let it absorb

Wait a few minutes for the cream to fully absorb into your skin.

Maintain a Routine

To achieve the best results, use as a part of your daily skincare routine. Most prefer application once a day, at night.

The provided applicator helps prevent unnecessary waste, can be used to 'fluff up' any cream hardened by exposure to air or water, and ensures a hygienic application process. Please clean after each use.

Is tallow cream suitable for all skin types?

Yes, tallow cream is gentle and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Is the cream suitable for men?

Yes, the cream is suitable for both men and women.

Is tallow cream suitable for vegans?

No, All Forbidden Sugar cosmetics contain beef tallow and are not suitable for individuals who follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, or who have religious restrictions on the use of animal products.

Are there any ethical or environmental considerations to using animal-based skincare products?

Yes, some people choose to avoid animal-based skincare products due to ethical concerns about animal welfare, or environmental concerns related to animal agriculture.

Most of this is misguided as at least for skincare, tallow is a safe by-product of the booming organic meat industry.

What is the shelf life of tallow cream?

Our tallow cream has a shelf life of approximately 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to use the cream within 6 months of opening for optimal freshness.

How long does a jar of FS Face Cream or Body Balm usually last?

The longevity of our products depends on the frequency of use. However, with typical daily usage, a jar of our Face Cream or Body Balm should last up to 1-2 months.

Will tallow cream clog my pores or cause acne?

No, tallow cream is non-comedogenic, which means it does not clog pores or cause acne. In fact, it is often recommended for acne-prone skin.

Can tallow cream be used as a natural remedy for skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis?

Yes, tallow cream is known for its ability to soothe and heal dry, irritated skin. However, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist before using any new skincare product to treat a specific condition.

Do FS products help reduce signs of aging?

Yes, our products are rich in nourishing ingredients that can help to smooth fine lines and improve skin elasticity over time.

How long does it take to see results?

Results will vary, but many customers report seeing a difference in their skin's hydration and texture within a few weeks of regular use.

Plant-based skincare ingredients, characterized by their rigid cell walls, are typically not deeply absorbed by the skin due to the skin's recognition of them as foreign substances.

Even worse, many cosmetics heavily process plant-based ingredients in order to try to increase absorption.

The last place for highly-processed inferior product is human face and skin.

On the other hand, animal-based ingredients share a cellular composition akin to human skin, enabling them to be more readily recognized and consequently, more effectively absorbed. Animal-based lotions have the potential to deliver a significantly deeper level of moisturization.

SKINCARE ABSORPTION

Human skin, a semi-permeable layer, selectively allows certain substances to pass through while preventing others. This selectivity is guided by factors like molecular size, solubility, and, importantly, similarity to the skin's own composition.

Plant cells, with their distinct cell walls, differ significantly from human cells and are therefore less likely to be absorbed efficiently.

Conversely, animal-based ingredients, such as tallow, share a closer biochemical resemblance to the skin, including a balance of similar fatty acids and nutrients. This similarity increases the chances of these ingredients being absorbed and utilized effectively by the skin.

How is the cellular structure of plants different from human skin?

The primary difference lies in the fact that plant cells have a rigid cell wall, made mainly of cellulose, that surrounds their cell membrane.

This cell wall gives plant cells a more fixed shape and acts as a protective barrier. In contrast, human skin cells, like all animal cells, lack this cell wall and only have a flexible cell membrane.

Why where activists against tallow?

Activists opposed tallow in cosmetics due to misguided animal welfare concerns and the desire for forced vegan products.

Can the cell walls in plant-based ingredients interfere with skin absorption?

The effect of cell walls on skin absorption isn't well-studied. However, it's unlikely that intact plant cells would be used in skincare formulations, as ingredients are typically extracted and processed to make them more easily absorbed by the skin. It's also worth noting that some plant-based ingredients are known to penetrate the skin well.

In what ways are animal cells similar to human skin cells?

Animal cells, like human skin cells, are eukaryotic cells that lack a cell wall, which makes their membranes more flexible compared to plant cells. Additionally, animal-based skincare ingredients often contain a similar balance of fatty acids and nutrients to those found in human skin, which may help them be recognized and utilized more effectively by the skin.

What other factors influence the skin's absorption of skincare ingredients, apart from their cellular composition?

Other factors that influence skin absorption include the size and solubility of the molecules in the ingredients, the pH of the product, the presence of penetration enhancers in the formulation, and the condition of the skin (e.g., dry vs. oily, intact vs. damaged). Individual variations in skin structure and function can also influence how well skincare ingredients are absorbed.

If plant-based ingredients are perceived as foreign by the skin, does this mean they're harmful?

Not necessarily. Just because an ingredient isn't absorbed deeply doesn't mean it's harmful.

Many plant-based ingredients have been shown to provide benefits for the skin when applied topically, even if they aren't absorbed to the same extent as some animal-based ingredients.

Are there any drawbacks or potential risks to using animal-based skincare products?

Like any skincare product, animal-based products could potentially cause reactions in some people, especially those with sensitive skin or specific allergies.

Misguided ethical and environmental considerations can also be a concern for some people.

‍We recommend conducting a patch test before full use.

Apply a bit of moisturizer to a sensitive skin spot, wait 24 hours without washing, and check for any skin reactions,

HoW to conduct a patch test

When it comes to testing a moisturizer or any other skincare product, a patch test generally involves the following steps:

1. Choose a small area of skin: The inside of the wrist or the inner part of the elbow are both good options, as the skin here is thin and more sensitive.

2. Apply a small amount of the product: Dab a small amount of the moisturizer onto the selected area.

3. Wait and observe: Leave the product on the skin for at least 24 hours, without washing the area. During this time, you should avoid strenuous activity that could cause sweating and avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight.

4. Check for reactions: After 24 hours, check the area for any signs of a reaction, such as redness, swelling, itching, burning, or rash. If you notice any of these signs, it indicates that you might be sensitive or allergic to one or more ingredients in the product, and you should avoid using it.

If the patch test does not result in any adverse reaction, it's usually a good sign that the product is safe for you to use.

Are there any common allergens in FS products?

Beef tallow is generally considered allergen-free.

Are there any side effects to be aware of?

Our products are made with natural ingredients and are generally well tolerated. However, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend doing a patch test before applying the product all over your face or body. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
