This might sound kind of weird, but I actually purchased this to use on my face as a moisturizer. I read not too long ago that beef tallow is an excellent moisturizer and, because it has properties that resemble your own skin's sebum, that it can repair and protect your skin as well. That being said, keep in mind that my review will be based on the purpose for which i bought this product (although I've also started eating it! :)
I was a little reluctant to buy this because some of the reviews said that it had a very strong pungent odor. I did not find this to be the case. It definitely has a faint scent, but its no unpleasant or overpowering. It actually reminded me a little bit like shea butter, which some people also find unpleasant. It moisturizes beautifully! I'm not sure that it is any better than other fats and oils i've used before, namely coconut, argan and rosehip oil as well as shea butter. So i can't speak as to whether or not it will improve my skin, but I like it so far. I also find the taste to be much milder than I would have expected based on some of the reviews. I tasted it the first day I got it, and I've been putting some in my bone broth as well. I can't say that I taste a difference. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, since this is my first experience with tallow, however, for my purposes that works just fine!
Finally, it arrived well packaged and in a timely fashion! I also find the cost to be very reasonable considering that this comes from grass fed animals and it is a rather large container. I ultimately decided to go with this one because skin care products made from tallow were much more expensive for a lot less. This has met all my expectations, now lets see if my skin improves! :)
