Most people won’t read this because it’s long and not clickbaity enough but for those wondering, why beef tallow

So many people underestimate the power of one superior ingredient.

Of course, that one ingredient I’m referring to is none other than beef tallow.

Beef tallow works because it speaks the same language as your skin.

Your skin barrier is made of lipids, which are fats that hold moisture in and keep irritants and microbes out. Tallow contains many of the same fatty acids your skin already uses, so your skin knows exactly what to do with it. It absorbs, reinforces, and rebuilds instead of just coating the surface.

Tallow offers natural antibacterial and antimicrobial support.

How, you might ask?

Tallow contains:

-Stearic acid
-Palmitic acid
-Oleic acid

Sounds scary, but these are just naturally occurring fatty acids that can weaken the outer membranes of certain harmful bacteria. Some of them also lower water activity on the skin surface, which makes it harder for bad microbes to multiply.

At the same time, they do not strip the skin. This allows beneficial skin bacteria to survive, which is critical for healthy skin balance.

So many people in this space will rattle off the vitamins beef tallow contains: A, D, E, and K. But why should you care? What do they actually do?

Vitamin A is key for skin renewal and repair.

-Supports new skin cell production
-Helps smooth texture
-Supports acne prone skin

Sounds great, right? But how does it do this?

Vitamin A helps regulate how fast skin cells are made and shed. When this process is balanced, pores are less likely to clog and damaged skin is replaced faster. It also signals skin cells to produce more structural proteins that keep skin firm and strong.

Pretty cool, huh?

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins there is. Critical for skin immune function and inflammation control. You get these benefits in tallow because it:

-Helps calm redness
-Supports skin immune defense
-Supports barrier repair

Vitamin D helps control inflammatory signals in the skin. It also supports antimicrobial peptides, which are natural defense molecules your skin makes to fight unwanted microbes.

You don’t need Vitamin E oil because tallow already contains Vitamin E, which supports antioxidant and barrier protection.

Vitamin E helps:
-Protect skin from environmental damage
-Help prevent moisture loss
-Support long lasting hydration

Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals. These are unstable molecules created by UV exposure, pollution, and stress that damage skin cells and accelerate aging. It also stabilizes the fats in your skin barrier so they do not oxidize and break down.

Finally, Vitamin K is there for healing and recovery support.

Vitamin K:
-Supports wound healing
-Supports recovery after skin stress
-Helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone

Vitamin K is involved in blood clotting and microcirculation repair. When skin is injured, healing requires controlled clotting and proper blood flow. Vitamin K helps regulate this process so nutrients and oxygen can reach damaged tissue efficiently. This supports faster tissue repair and healthier skin recovery.

Most synthetic skincare stacks ingredients because each chemical only does one job.

Tallow is biologically complete.

It moisturizes by matching skin lipids
It protects by strengthening the barrier
It nourishes by delivering fat soluble vitamins
It supports healing by fueling repair pathways
It supports microbiome balance through fatty acid activity
It stays stable because saturated fats resist oxidation

Instead of forcing skin to adapt to 20 foreign ingredients, tallow gives skin what it already recognizes.

This is the very reason we built our business around tallow and why it’s in almost everything we make.

If one ingredient can hydrate, protect, repair, nourish, and defend skin naturally, there is no need to overload formulas.

Simple formulas:

-Reduce irritation risk
-Work with skin, not against it
-Reflect how skincare worked for thousands of years

Why does big skincare uses it?

⚡️Extremely cheap
⚡️Very shelf stable
⚡️Very consistent batch to batch

Why don't we use it?

⚡️Crude oil byproduct
⚡️If it needs heavy refining, it does not belong on your body
⚡️Coats skin. Does not heal or nourish

Petrolatum, the main ingredient in Aquaphor & ONLY ingredient in Vaseline, comes from crude oil. Please stop using these products and putting it on your babies. We have safer & better options😄

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never gotten this many spam calls, spam texts, and junk emails in my life.

Very soon, every digital channel people rely on will be flooded with automation, spam, and AI noise.

Bitcoin fixes this.

Bitcoin paywalls make spam, bots, and AI noise economically impossible at scale. Gold can’t do that. Fiat can’t do that. Only Bitcoin can.

Money solves problems.

Bitcoin solves more of them than any money before it.

And it doesn’t stop at communication or finance. Bitcoin rewires energy production itself.

Bitcoin is the only monetary system that directly incentivizes the production of cheaper energy, which strengthens its own network through higher hash rate.

The future looks bright 🧡

Im really curious. What’s your realistic stacking goal?

I understand aim for the stars land on the moon, so I expect some high figures, but something you feel is well within reach for you

Sometimes you need to slow down to speed up. This is your sign.

We’ve been conditioned to believe we have to be “on” all the time. Producing. Hustling. Checking boxes. Chasing the next thing.

And in the process, most people end up moving so fast they miss the moments that actually make life feel full.

The quiet mornings.
The deep conversations.
The creativity that shows up when you finally breathe.
The signals your body has been trying to send you for months, maybe even years.

We are not machines.
We are human beings.
And sometimes the most productive thing you can do is just be.

Every single person, man and woman, has masculine and feminine energy inside them. Finding balance is where things often start to feel more aligned.

Masculine energy is action, structure, discipline, building, providing, and executing. It’s the “do” energy. Feminine energy is intuition, creativity, presence, connection, and receiving. It’s the “feel and create” energy.

Most people people live mostly in masculine energy. Go. Push. Achieve. Perform. Repeat.

When you live there 24/7, your nervous system stays in survival mode.
You can slowly disconnect from yourself. From relationships. From creativity.

And instead of actually feeling fulfilled, it can turn into constant chasing. Chasing the next goal. The next number. The next validation.

It can become a loop where you feel like you’re always almost there, but never quite arriving.

When you live in that state long enough, it can create a pattern of feeling like something is always missing. And when your mindset is rooted in lack, life can start to reflect more of that lack back to you.

But when you learn to slow down enough to recognize what you already have, and allow yourself to feel grounded in it, that’s often where real abundance starts to show up.

Your feminine energy is where your best ideas are born.
Your masculine energy is what brings those ideas into the real world.

They aren’t meant to compete. They’re meant to support each other and move together.

Real life examples:

Masculine energy looks like:
• Grinding through tasks
• Setting goals and executing
• Protecting your time and resources
• Taking decisive action

Feminine energy looks like:
• Listening to your body
• Letting creativity flow without forcing it
• Being present with people you love
• Knowing when rest might serve you better than pushing

If you never slow down, it can be harder to hear your intuition. And without that connection, it’s easy to keep building and chasing without ever feeling settled or satisfied, even when you’ve technically achieved the things you thought would make you feel whole.

Slowing down isn’t weakness. It can be a form of strategy for deeper fulfillment. It supports your nervous system. It’s often where clarity shows up. It is where creativity comes back. It’s where people reconnect with who they really are.

Living in constant masculine drive can sometimes show up as:
Burnout
Overstimulation
Hormone imbalance
Disconnection from purpose
Shallow relationships
Chronic stress mode

When energy feels more balanced, people often experience:
Clearer decisions
Stronger ideas
Deeper relationships
More sustainable success
Real peace and happiness instead of short bursts of dopamine

You don’t need to do more, you probably need to do less, but do it with more intention.

Slow mornings.
Walks without your phone.
Sun on your face.
Sitting in silence.
Actually tasting your food.
Creating something just because you want to, not because you have to.

Sometimes giving yourself space is how you start hearing yourself again.
And from there, moving forward can feel a lot more precise.

That’s often where real momentum comes from.
