Our Skin Care
If you peruse the internet, you'll find lots of small business makers, offering a wonderful variety of options for soap, lotions and other skin-care products to suit any need. So, how do we fit in to this market? We believe that less is more, and when possible we want to support other local businesses in pursuit of making a product that is simple, nourishing and hopefully better for our environment. Using locally sourced ingredients such as tallow, lard and beeswax, we're comfortable saying that we know our farmers that these amazing products come from, and we love being able to support other small farms in our community!
Our ingredient list is small. We use a combination of natural oils, butters, essential oils, and natural colorants to make a simple product that's better for your skin than a typical big-name bottle brand.
Lard: Lard is rendered port fat. Very similar to the cellular makeup and pH of our skin, lard creates a barrier for locking in moisture. Good-quality lard is also high in the vitamins that help keep skin healthy, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, A and D. Lard is easily absorbed into and very gentle on the skin.
Tallow: Tallow is rendered suet, or beef fat. Another animal fat that is very compatible with our skin, tallow is full of beneficial qualities such as skin-protecting antioxidents, anti-inflammatory properties to combat inflammation, and it locks in moisture and nutrients without clogging pores.
