The natural oil your skin makes to stay moisturized and protected — its name literally means 'tallow' in Latin.
Sebum is the oil your skin produces to keep itself supple, resilient, and shielded. It's roughly 57% lipids, of which about 44% are saturated fats.

Tallow is compelling precisely because its fat profile is so close to sebum's that skin treats it as familiar.
