Here’s something you probably don’t know about dermatology in America (or anywhere in the world for that matter). It’s rigged.
Dermatology students are bribed to recommend skin care products. So, brands like Cerave will send the student trial packs of their new products, the students will use them and… they appear to work so just out of familiarity, they recommend it to their clients in the future.
These huge skin care brands have infiltrated almost all of the dermatology colleges in America.
They also do this with skin care influencers. If you run a skin care Youtube channel or blog and your livelihood relies on testing and recommending brands, you don’t really care how healthy or safe the product is, you just wanna keep your channel going and get those ‘brand deals’.
This is why you have hundreds and thousands of dermatologists recommending drugstore skincare not realizing that these skin care products are seriously damaging the skin and body, not helping it.
For example, this day cream from Cerave which is recommended by dermatologists has BHT, a fragrance masker that has been linked to higher rates of cancer.
And this Cetaphil cream which is also a big brand for dermatologists has propylparaben, which is an endocrine disruptor.
But, like we said… dermatologists will go with whatever ‘seems’ clean and safe because ‘big skincare’ told them so.
There are only a small handful of dermatologists out there who are waking up to the lies and finding out that some of the best skin care is stuff we’ve been using for centuries like beef tallow.
Beef tallow can do everything those ‘clean’ dermatologist-approved creams out there and here’s a quick breakdown on exactly how:
1. Clears Acne
One of the most common reasons why people go to the dermatologist is because they have acne.
And if you’re one of those unfortunate souls who had acne throughout highschool, just know… we feel you.
We all remember going to the dermatologist as a teenager and getting prescribed a skin-stripping benzoyl peroxide acne cream that left bleach marks on your pillowcase or worse, Accutane which dried out our skin permanently and completely annihilated our livers.
And, we get it. It’s hard to live with acne especially when it’s severe. You feel like it’s all people can see when they look at you and this is why a lot of people resort to these extreme acne medications.
But here’s something dermatologists will never tell you: using tallow on your skin can actually reduce the chance of acne because of how moisturizing it is.
It seems counter intuitive, but when you moisturize your face regularly with either a face oil or an animal-based fat like beef tallow, you are sending the signal to your skin to stop producing so much oil which will lessen the chance of breakouts.
On the other side, if you’re constantly drying out and stripping your skin with harsh acne cleansers, your skin is going to go on oil-producing overdrive and you’ll notice that your skin always has that annoying shine to it (and, lots of acne!).
Beef tallow is also naturally antibacterial so it can also heal the acne that’s already there.
And you don’t have to worry about beef tallow balm clogging pores. Check out our article on ‘the tallow clogging pores myth’ to find out why.
2. Clears Psoriasis and Eczema
What about those painful, itchy skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis?
It’s common for people to get these skin diseases on their elbows, knees and scalp. But we’ve seen some people get it on their noses, near their eyes and even on their lips.
When you have eczema and psoriasis, it feels like your skin is on fire and because it’s so painful, people will run immediately to the dermatologist to get a prescription cream to clear it up.
The problem with using those creams is that it's just a band aid solution. The second you stop using it, it’s gonna come back. And if you’re using that toxic cream every single day, who knows what all of those toxins are going to do to your body over time?
This is why we always recommend people try beef tallow balm to clear up their eczema and psoriasis.
Beef tallow was used in ancient times to heal wounds because of its natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
All you need to do is apply the tallow balm regularly to the affected area and you’ll see your skin get softer, smoother and more nourished.
3. Calms Down Rosacea
Rosacea is the worst! It can appear on the skin as teeny tiny red bumps and from far away it makes your skin look super red which can be embarrassing for some.
A lot of people will go to a dermatologist to get a cream to ‘cure’ rosacea but… hear us out. Beef tallow balm works way better!
Because of its fatty acid profile and deep moisturizing properties, beef tallow balm is great for calming down inflamed skin.
People with rosacea will also usually have sensitive skin and those petrochemical-filled prescription creams you get from the dermatologist will just cause more redness and irritation.

Beef tallow balm on the other hand, works with all skin types and contains no weird chemicals that could cause a reaction. It’s as natural as it gets.
But you don’t want to just buy ‘any’ tallow balm you see on Amazon. We explain more in this article, but a lot of tallow balms are actually full of toxins and chemicals which defeats the purpose of switching to tallow-based skin care in the first place.
Which is why we recommend you choose a tallow balm that’s made from grass fed & finished tallow. It’s important that it’s ‘finished’ because that means it’s been fed grass for its whole life, not just a few months.
You also want to make sure that the tallow balm is ‘made in the USA’ and not from a random country that doesn’t have any regulations on skin care.
You’ll also want the balm to contain other ingredients that support the skin like honey and olive oil.
Our Evil Goods Whipped Tallow Honey Balm is 100% pure, grass fed & finished and (in our opinion) will blow any dermatologist-approved drugstore cream out of the water. Click here to buy a jar.
