when I tried making beef jerky using the 100% grass fed ground beef from trader joes, I put the beef in my cheap dehydrator and I think the temperatures got up to 160ยบ F, it was hard to get an accurate temperature reading and there was no temperature control on the device.. well anyways, it got pretty hot and a lot of the fat melted off and collected in the bottom of the dehydrator in liquid form, it was a yellow oily liquid and I did not want to waste it so I poured it into a glass jar. once it cooled it is now the consistency of soft butter, whiteish in colour, and I smear that stuff on my skin whenever it feels dry.. I keep it in my bathroom, not refridgerated. It's pretty oily, though it seems to absorb well and make my skin soft, even though I know it's heated but at least I know it's from grass-fed beef and not really processed other than for melting it off the ground beef in my dehydrator, and no chemicals.
I also have my own aloe vera plant that I got from my uncle, who's all into organic and natural eating (though not raw, and little meat) and has his own chickens that he feeds bugs and garden he grows himself and stuff. My cat kind of demolished it a bit, but I can still rip off the leafs and put the pure aloe vera gel on my skin. I still get pretty bad acne on my face, but I think that's because I'm not really eating well enough, but putting those things on my skin doesn't seem to make it any worse. I would also put raw grass-fed butter on my skin if I didn't have that ground beef melted fat, but my butter is expensive and that melted fat was cheap plus I'd rather eat the butter since it's raw.
