INSPIRED BY THE PRACTICES OF OUR ANCESTORS

Before the proliferation of man-made chemicals and their commercialisation in every area of life, tallow has for centuries been an essential ingredient in skin care products.

THE FORGOTTEN INGREDIENT

Tallow has been appreciated by mankind for centuries for its wealth of nutrients. Therefore, it is eaten and also used to make candles, soap, salves and ointments for the skin.

This makes it one of the original forms of skin care, used for centuries to heal, soothe, moisturize and protect the skin.

Tallow is ideal for improving skin cell health, half of its composition is saturated fats, making it highly compatible with skin cell membranes. It is also similar to sebum, which helps to moisturise, nourish and protect the skin. There's a reason the Latin translation of the word sebum is 'tallow'!

TALLOW IS CHARACTERISED BY:

High in fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K (along with their activators) and B12:

  • Vitamin A stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and healthy skin cells, strengthens tissues, keeping skin firm and youthful, and treats skin problems
  • Vitamin D supports skin cell growth, repair, metabolism and immune function, and protects against free radicals
  • Vitamin K affects skin tone, texture, general health, soothes inflammation of the skin and accelerates wound healing
  • Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, repairs and reverses free radical damage, deeply moisturises and promotes healing. Tallow from grass-fed cows contains four times more vitamin E than from grain-fed cows

Contains many ingredients found only in animal products, including essential fatty acids:

  • Alpha linoleic acid (Omega-3) and linolenic (Omega-6), maintain the structure and barrier function of the skin, assisting anti-inflammatory and immune reactions in the skin, including eczema and rosacea
  • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties
  • Stearic acidwhich helps repair damaged skin and improves its elasticity and resilience
  • Palmitoleic acid (Omega-7) is one of the basic building blocks of our skin and is a very active antimicrobial agent
  • Oleic acid (Omega-9) promotes the penetration of ingredients into the skin
  • Palmitic acid reinforces the natural skin barrier
  • Minerals and natural antioxidants

Natural and compatible with human biology therapeutic properties:

  • Moisturising, to help dry and chapped skin
  • Soothing, calming the skin and even relieving the symptoms of eczema
  • Antimicrobial, eliminating acne and skin problems
  • Healing, rescues skin damaged by the sun and other factors
  • Anti-ageing, slows down skin ageing and free radical damage
  • Protective, strengthens the natural skin barrier
  • Nourishing, replenishes essential skin nutrients

FREE FROM CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, FILLERS AND ADDITIVES

We source the tallow from Polish organic farms where the cows are exclusively grass-fed.

The diet, consistent with the nature of ruminants, provides products richer in nutrients such as vitamins, fatty acids in the right proportions and minerals.

We purify the tallow in a natural process without the addition of chemicals or deodorising ingredients.

In this way, we take care of our health as well as the environment. This also underlies the nourishing and therapeutic effect of our balms on the skin.
