A healthy lifestyle starts with your body and what you put in it and on it. In the search to eliminate toxins and chemicals from my body I started with my lotion. The absurd amount of harmful additives and chemicals put in our lotions is just wrong. I searched for “drug Store” lotions or lotions I could find on Amazon that were YUKA approved. Unfortunately, I didn’t find many options that wanted to put on my body.

This landed me on Tallow. Yes, Beef Tallow. The same Tallow you cook with. I read about all the benefits of Tallow for the skin. High in vitamins, fatty acids and linoleic/oleic acids which support the skin barrier and retain moisture. In my opinion the most beneficial aspect is the anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant properties.

After many attempts I finally landed on a recipe I liked. I use a blend of Tallow, shea butter, coconut oil, vitamin e, jojoba and essential oils to create a creamy non-toxic lotion safe for everyday use!

During the summer and fall you can find me at the farmers markets. All year round you can find me at 5 local stores and more on the way. I encourage you to try Tallow for your skin and to do your research because it really is a magical substance that will transform your skin.
