Across 1 decoded pieces of advice. This scores the state of the evidence behind what they say — not them, and not their honesty. Good creators cover contested ground; that shows up here as mixed.

What Noli has graded

Tallow (rendered beef fat) has a fatty-acid profile close to human sebum, which is why it can moisturize dry skin without too many surprises — but there's no evidence it "supports your hormones or blood sugar," and it has no demonstrated edge over a standard cream for acne-prone or sensitive skin.

The full read

The "fatty-acid profile close to sebum" point is real and documented (tallow-skincare reviews confirm overlap in oleic, palmitic, and stearic acid with sebum), making a moisturizing/barrier role for dry skin plausible — but evidence stays early (small studies, no large randomized trial). "Supports your hormones and blood sugar," though, has no cited mechanism or study, and the same reviews note tallow's oleic acid can also worsen acne or inflammation on oily skin — the picture is mixed, not universally positive.
