A gardeners best friend 🌿 no matter what, if you play in dirt your hands are going to dry out. So I decided to make a compact and durable pocket remedy for quick skin rejuvenation.

Pure whipped tallow + Eastern Hemlock

These are the methods our ancestors used, The original skincare. Tallow penetrates deeply into the skin providing incredible unmatched hydration. And almost equally as important, its lipid composition locks in moisture. Tallow is an abundance of fatty acids which fortifys the skins natural barrier.

Most natural products we use on our skin these days are filled with inflammatory PUFAs which are unstable and can be toxic to the body. Tallow on the other hand is far more balanced and offers stability and slows oxidation. Tallow is also loaded with bioavailable nutrients, both for your skin and internally. Let's go down the rabbit hole of polyunsaturated fatty acids- aka PUFAs.

Most of our favorite skin care products are made with PUFAs and they're touted to be anything and everything for our skin. I've certainly used plenty of them for myself, for my family and in products. They have so many great qualities, and I'm not going to sit here and say they're all bad, but moderation is certainly key as with everything. Essentially, the issue with PUFAs is that they are most times unstable and this leads to oxidation (damage and deterioration) when they're exposed to light, heat or air (so, anytime they're on our skin). Their molecules have double bonds, rendering them weak and easily broken. So why does any of this matter? Well, when these oils on your skin oxidize it creates a free radical cascade which damages what may have been previously UNdamaged lipids in your skin. PUFAs have now been identified as the main culprit of cellular damage. In fact, there have actually been studies done of internal use of PUFAs vs not, and how quickly the individual consuming PUFAs skin starts to get damaged and deterioration sets in, because what you eat affects your skin too.

This is why we generally try to only using MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) and SFAs (saturated fatty acids) aka Tallow!! SFAs have no molecular double bonds, which means there isn't any opportunity for oxygen to squeeze in and oxidation to occur. Some other SFAs you've been seeing us utilize are Lanolin and Avocado oil.
