Pasture-raised pork tallow is INCREDIBLY high in Vitamin D!

In addition to Vitamin D, E, A, Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids, pasture-raised pork tallow also contains CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Its natural composition can help soothe irritation and reduce redness, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

The high content of saturated fats and lipids nourishes and protects the skin barrier, helping to prevent water loss and lock in moisture. Its composition is biologically similar to the lipids of our skin, making it highly effective for all skin types, even those with sensitive or reactive skin. It’s an excellent moisturizer that hydrates deeply without clogging pores.

Almond oil has been used for centuries to soothe the skin and treat minor wounds and cuts. It has been used in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic practices to treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Almond oil is an effective moisturizer and healing ingredient for many different skin types. It's noncomedogenic, which means it's unlikely to cause clogged pores or breakouts.

More than soothing dry skin, almond oil can improve complexion and skin tone. It’s highly emollient, which means it helps to balance the absorption of moisture and water loss. Because it is antibacterial and full of vitamin A, almond oil can be used to treat acne. Its concentration of vitamin E can also help to heal sun damage, reduce the signs of aging, and reduce appearance of stretch marks and scars.

Beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, protecting skin from environmental irritants and harsh weather. Beeswax is also a humectant, meaning it locks in moisture to prevent water loss, helping skin stay soft and hydrated.

Beeswax is anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and germicidal. These properties make a highly stable base ingredient, extending the product’s life.

Beeswax has fantastic skin-softening properties and enhances skin’s elasticity, helping reduce the signs of aging. It’s also important to note that beeswax is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin, as it’s very unlikely to cause skin irritation.

This plant’s power to heal comes from its strong anti-inflammatory benefits which, in turn, can reduce swelling and provide pain relief by improving blood circulation.

When you apply cayenne to your skin (topically), it works to relieve pain. This is because cayenne contains capsaicin, which gives the ‘heat’ sensation. Salves made with cayenne stop muscle and joint pain by “confusing” pain transmitters. They also block pain messages from the skin.

Other important ingredients in cayenne include Vitamins A and C, flavonoids and carotenoids, naturally occurring pigments, and antioxidant properties.

Scientific research shows that chlorophyll helps to rejuvenate old cells and promote the growth of new cells. This action with comfrey’s allantoin properties provide us with a powerful herb.

Allantoin is one thing that makes comfrey unique. Allantoin is also produced the allantois gland of the umbilical cord for promoting rapid cell growth. Allantoin is also a leucocytosis promoter (increases white blood cells) that help establish immunity from infections.

Studies in Europe show it’s effective in treating eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and viral skin infections.
