Ozone Face Moisturizer with Beef Tallow

Why Are People Putting Beef Tallow on Their Face?

Recently, you may have heard of people using Beef Tallow (rendered beef fat) on their skin, in soaps and balms. I know what you may be thinking…Why on earth would anyone put cow fat on their face? Well, there’s a good reason…many reasons to be honest, why Beef Tallow is one of the BEST skin moisturizers you could use.

The Nutritional Benefits of Tallow

Tallow contains Vitamins A, D, E & K, all are vital to skin health. It also contains a ton of trace minerals like copper, zinc, selenium which are powerful antioxidants vital to protect and repair the skin. Tallow oil is bio identical to the sebum (oil) the skin produces and will not clog pores.

Tallow Cholesterols and Skin Hydration

Tallow cholesterols not only absorb into the skin but they form a protective moisture barrier to prevent moisture loss throughout the day. When they absorb they make the skin cells appear more plump making fine lines less visible and bringing with it a youthful glow.

What Is Ozone and Why Is It Used?

Let’s talk about Ozone (oxygen) and what that’s all about. Ozone is a very powerful and reactive form of oxygen. In our post-Covid world, ozone therapy has become less taboo and somewhat commonplace at Integrative Medical Centers. However, ozone therapy has been around since World War 2, mostly used in European countries.

Stabilizing Ozone Through Fats

The reactivity of Ozone is the challenge because the molecules are not stable, they will breakdown fairly quickly. The only natural way to stabilize ozone is by binding it to some type of fat. This process takes quite a while by basically bubbling the ozone gas through the oil continuously at low temperatures for days or weeks until the oil solidifies. Unsaturated fatty acids bind to oxygen molecules during oxidation which normally leads to an unwanted smell and taste of rancidity.

Why We Use Olive Oil in Our Formula

We ozonize several different oils but the one we chose for this formula is extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil is widely known for skin benefits but its also one of the most common ozonized oils due to its high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Pure ozonized oils have a very strong smell of ozone and rancidity which is why we use pure essential oils to create a very pleasant fragrance. No one wants to have the smell of rancid oil on their face so close to their nose, even if it is healthy, its just gross.

How Ozone Benefits Skin Cells

Every cell in the body needs oxygen and to some degree, the more oxygen its has, the better the cell functions. Ozone being stronger than regular oxygen promotes a profound cellular response and depending on the type of cell, that response will vary. Skin cells produce more of their natural antioxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) when they’re exposed to ozone. This increase in antioxidant production protects the skin from toxins, UV rays and SLOWS DOWN AGING!

Ozone Increases Moisture and Skin Defense

Ozone has been shown to increase the moisture content of the skin all by itself because it draws water from inside the body to the epidermis. Ozone has also been shown to increase the defensive barrier the skin creates by increasing collagen and elastin utilization as well as beta carotene. This may result in thicker, healthier and youthful skin that is more resistant to tearing, bruising and cracking from dryness.

Aloe Vera Oil for Redness and Inflammation

Another very important ingredient in the Ozone Face Moisturizer is Aloe Vera Oil. Aloe Vera is famous for healing skin burns and abrasions because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties. We included it in this formulation as a complement to the ozone and the beef tallow. Red, inflamed skin is quite common with acne, eczema as well as other skin disorders that can have a huge impact on a persons skin. When the skin on a person face isn’t healthy it can cause them to be self conscious, perhaps even decreasing their self esteem.

Argan Oil: Smooth Texture and Anti-Aging

Argan Oil is the fourth and final main ingredient in this formulation. Argan oil is known for hydrating the skin, wound healing and anti-aging benefits. It also helps provide a very smooth creamy texture to our Ozone Face Moisturizer. Most beef tallow skin products have a heavy, chunky texture that are not desirable in a face moisturizer. Our product is whipped, light, smooth and refreshing to anyone who is looking for Tallow but hasn’t been impressed with the products they’ve tried.

Our Fragrances: Lavender and Spa Retreat

Ozone Face Moisturizer comes in two natural essential oil fragrances, Lavender and Spa Retreat. The Lavender formulation has a lighter feel for those who are prone to oily or combination skin, its also the choice for a majority of people who live in humid climates.

Spa Retreat is a combination of several essential oils, Apple, Lemongrass, Lilac and Patchouli. Its the most popular fragrance combination that we have. We have had so much positive feedback and requests for this fragrance that we have used it in our Ozone Soap, Ozone Muscle Rub and our soon to be released Ozone deodorant!

Nightly Skincare Routine Using Ozone Face Moisturizer

Wash your face – using Ozone Bar Soap and warm water, clean your skin well. Make sure to wash your neck too. A lot of people forget to include their neck in their nightly cleansing routine. You don’t want your face to be youthful and your neck to be aged. Rinse your skin with warm water, then using cold water rinse it again. The cold water helps to close open pores.

Apply Ozone Face Moisturizer – making sure to avoid eye contact, apply Ozone Face Moisturizer to your entire face. Make sure to massage it into areas prone to wrinkles such as smile lines, forehead, crows feet and don’t forget your neck!

Weekly Exfoliation – Once a week perform step 1 and then add in a exfoliating charcoal mask. Once its dry wash it off and proceed with step 2. Its super important to have an exfoliation mask once a week to help draw toxins out of your pores and remove dead skin. Once a mask has been used the fresh healthy skin needs to be kept moist by using Ozone Face Moisturizer to rehydrate and protect the cells.
