Consumers in Australia and overseas are increasingly using rendered animal fats such as tallow in cooking, moisturisers, balms and soaps. Tasmanian producer Tassie Tallow says demand for its beef tallow and tallow-based skincare products is rising sharply.
Scientific evidence for the skincare benefits of tallow remains limited.
This is a consumer-demand trend for food and cosmetic uses rather than feed, so its effect on tallow supply for feed buyers is small. It adds marginal support to demand for edible tallow that competes with feed-grade and fuel uses.
