In this video, I'm showing the real difference between fat and true tallow - and why that matters for both skincare and cooking. You'll see side-by-side examples of muscle fat versus suet, what happens when they're rendered, and how to spot when a "tallow" product might not be what it claims.

These examples are meant to help you understand what to look for if you're making your own or buying ready-made tallow balms. I've linked a few brands  that appear to use suet-based tallow - but I haven't personally tried them.

If you've ever wondered why some tallow feels soft or greasy while others whip up beautifully firm, this one will make things click.
