Get to Know Our Ingredients
Tallow
Tallow contains stearic acid and oleic acid, which are known for their hydrating and healing properties. The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in beef tallow has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and irritation. This makes it beneficial for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Beef tallow is also highly stable, which means it doesn’t spoil easily and can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration. This makes it a reliable ingredient for natural skincare formulations.
Using beef tallow is also a way to utilize all parts of an animal, reflecting a sustainable approach to animal husbandry. Nothing is wasted, and all by-products have their use, which aligns with the ancestral lifestyle of resource efficiency.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is highly prized in skincare for its deep moisturizing effects, thanks to its richness in squalene, which closely mimics the skin’s natural oils. It’s also packed with powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, which protect the skin from the elements and promote cellular repair and renewal. The anti-inflammatory properties of oleocanthal in olive oil help soothe irritation and reduce rednes. Additionally, essential fatty acids in olive oil enhance skin elasticity, helping to maintain firmness.
Cold pressed olive oil is of superior quality because it retains the antioxidants and nutrients that are often diminished by the high-speed machinery and elevated temperatures used in modern oil extraction methods.
