The word “sebum” literally means “tallow” in Latin. Here’s how the fats line up — and where we stay honest about what the science does and doesn’t show.
| Fatty acid | Type | Tallow amount | In your skin? | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oleic acid | monounsaturated | ~36% | Also in your skin | Rich, cushioning moisture in the overall balm blend. |
| Palmitic acid | saturated | ~24.9% | Also in your skin | Contributes to a protective, moisture-sealing feel. |
| Stearic acid | saturated | ~18.9% | Also in your skin | Supports the balm's firm, cushioning structure. |
| Myristic acid | saturated | ~3.7% | — | Minor saturated fatty acid in beef tallow. |
| Linoleic acid | polyunsaturated | ~3.1% | Also in your skin | Essential fatty acid present at a low level in beef tallow. |
| Palmitoleic acid | monounsaturated | ~4.2% | Also in your skin | Minor monounsaturated fatty acid also found in human sebum. |

Human sebum’s exact per-acid makeup is not reported consistently enough for a side-by-side acid chart, so we show source-backed tallow figures and qualitative “also in your skin” tags instead of inventing sebum percentages.
Grass-fed tallow carries trace amounts of fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — in the same form your body uses them. These aren’t present in high or therapeutic concentrations; they’re naturally occurring companions to fatty acids for skin, arriving in a bioavailable form because they’re embedded in the fat matrix itself. Think of them as part of the whole-food context of grass fed beef tallow skincare, not a vitamin supplement. They work alongside the fatty acids rather than independently of them.
