Last updated: 23 September 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlent Tallow is a skin balm based on purified tallow (beef fat) from grass-fed cattle, without synthetic emulsifiers or preservatives. Tallow contains fatty acids that also occur in the skin's own lipids, such as oleic acid and palmitic acid. This makes it a rich, nourishing base for dry skin. The balm melts at skin temperature and is gradually absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn this page:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#waarom-tallow\"\u003eWhy tallow?\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#varianten\"\u003eThe four variants\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#hoe-gebruik-je-plent-tallow\"\u003eHow do you use Plent Tallow?\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#gerelateerde-producten\"\u003eRelated products\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#faq\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#combineren\"\u003eCombine with\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"#bronnen\"\u003eSources\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"waarom-tallow\"\u003eWhy tallow?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTallow is one of humanity's oldest skincare products.
