The ingredient does contain fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, but those properties don\u2019t necessarily make it superior to existing skincare formulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gets promoted a lot on social media because it\u2019s natural,\u201d dermatology resident <strong>Angela Wei<\/strong>, MD, told the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/beef-tallow-for-skin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. \u201cPeople seem to like it because it\u2019s something that\u2019s been around for a long time and marketed as \u2018chemical-free.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/stylish\/news\/hailey-bieber-shares-her-5-step-nighttime-skincare-routine-after-baby\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/stylish\/news\/hailey-bieber-shares-her-5-step-nighttime-skincare-routine-after-baby\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">Hailey Bieber Just Revealed Her New 5-Step Nighttime Skincare Routine<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tSince Hailey Bieber gave birth to her first child with husband, Justin, back in August, she has been getting back to basics, sporting pared-back styles and debuting newly dyed auburn hair.
