Its fatty acid profile is unusually similar to the oil your own skin produces, which is why it absorbs rather than sitting on the surface.

If a tallow product smells like a kitchen, it was rendered too hot or not filtered enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does one tube last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Daily use, roughly six to eight weeks. Most people find they use less of it after the first week, because it is not evaporating between applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan kids use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Two ingredients, no fragrance, and no flavor to encourage licking.
