This change in texture can be affected by a variety of factors, including the temperature of the product when it is applied to the skin and the ambient temperature of the environment in which it is stored. As a result, tallow based skin care products may vary in texture depending on the conditions under which they are used.

Although non comedogenic products are less likely to cause breakouts, it is still possible for them to do so. This can happen if the product contains other ingredients that are irritating to the skin, or if the person using the product has particularly sensitive skin. It is always a good idea to patch test a small amount of the product on a small area of your skin before using it more extensively.
