Cleopatra was definitely a trend setter. Men desired her and women envied her. She was known for her beauty, style, and grace. Tallow was touted for its moisturizing and healing properties in ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Egyptians used tallow for personal beautification, to treat skin conditions and wounds. Could tallow have been responsible for Cleopatra being depicted with perfect skin?
Tallow is known to mimic our skins natural oils and it is rich in heathy, nourishing fats. Tallow is suitable for ALL skin types and it won't clog your pores.
Tallow is also known to:
*Contain antioxidants
*To be high in vitamin A, D, K, E, and B12
*Reduce visible signs of aging
*Restore vibrancy and skin tone
*Be highly moisturizing
*Repair Damaged Skin
Tallow products are trending on social media and there are lots of brands available to choose from. I first started hearing about tallow in the summer of 2023. It piqued my interest as I am always looking for simple, affordable and effective natural face care products.
I did some research and decided to made my own tallow skin care potion. It was a trial and error process that eventually birthed Kimmy's Tallow Face Potion. The rest they say, is history!

Everything old becomes new again. Trends tend to cycle throughout different generations. You have heard the old saying, what goes around, comes around. Using tallow on your body for beautiful, soft, and glowing skin is one of those recycling trends.
I would bet my own tallow that Cleopatra used this as part of her beauty regime way back in 51-30 BC. If it's good enough for Cleopatra, it's good enough for the Goddess in everyone!
My skin looks and feels so much better since tallow entered my life. I wouldn't be without it now.
