Beef Gelatin / Collagen

[Liorasol]

I just rendered beef fat to make some tallow and got a LARGE portion of gelatin/collagen that I’d hate to waste.

I’m just curious if this can be used in soaps, body butters, creams, face masks, serums, shampoo, hair masks, etc. or if I should just save it to use for food lmao

Has anyone done this?

I've never tried it in body care products because I wouldn't know how to preserve it, or how to eliminate the beef smell. Besides, I do love it for making soups, so it never goes to waste.

I'm with @AliOop! Soup base!

I've heard of tallow for the skin. Not gelatin though. Other than being, very, beneficial in the diet.

What little I do know is that it's separated from the liquid with acid (vinegar is one if i recall correctly). Once it's purified and dried, it's pretty shelf stable when well stored. Just some say I've heard.
