When it comes to the products and ingredients you invite onto and into your skin, quality matters. That is why we do the research to find ingredients that we feel good about, and take the time to explain the why behind those choices so that you can feel good about them too.
We believe in a 'food first' approach when it comes to both the internal and external health of our bodies and skin. What you ingest is reflected externally; in your skin especially. That being said, it is our belief that your skincare should be dervived from the best sources, with the intention of feeding your skin, rather than 'covering up' the areas that need care and attention.

About Our Ingredients:
Grass-Fed Bovine Tallow: Made from slow-rendering beef fat, all of our tallow comes from 100% grass-fed, lifetime grazed cattle from the USA. Supporting proper farming practices, as well as sustanibility and wellbeing of the cows themselves, is a mission that is near and dear to our heart. Tallow is full of beneficial nutrients that our skin needs in order to repair itself. Tallow is extremely similar to the type of oil our skin naturally produces, making it very compatible without clogging pores. As well as providing our skin with support when it comes to aging gracefully, tallow is also a host for bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, & K, which deeply nourish the skin.
Jojoba & Castor Oils: Both oils we use are organic and cold-pressed to avoid damaging the oil and to ensure that chemicals aren't used in the production process. Jojoba oil is fast absorbing and closely mimics the skin's sebum, while castor oil deeply penetrates the skin, locking in moisture. Castor oil also aids in the skin's healing process due to it's ability to help reduce inflamation and improve localized blood-flow.
Scents & Fragrances: Our choices for scent enhancements are completely natural, free of synthetic frangrances, and 100% essential oil free. You will only find ingredients like Organic Vanilla Extract and Floral-Infused Oils scenting our skincare products.
Why No Essential Oils?
Due to the concentration of how essential oils are made, the end product ends up being too strong and harsh for direct contact with our skin, often causing irritation. Essential oils can also increase your skin's sensitivity to sun exposure, increasing your chances of sunburn when expose to the sun for too long. Essential oils are also antibacterial which interferes with the natural and necessary microbiome of your face. Hence why you don't want to be killing that off by a daily application of essential oils in your skincare.
