Ingredients: Alberta grass fed and finished tallow, Wild Prairie Honey beeswax, organic cold pressed jojoba oil, organic rosehip oil, olive squalene, raspberry seed oil, carrot seed oil, non-namo zinc oxide 20%, vitamin e, cocoa powder

 

* These are 100% natural and handmade products so each batch’s scent and consistency may vary. Tallow may firm or soften in shipping depending on temperature. May be hard if it's a cooler temperature that day but as soon as it's warmed and on your skin it's as smooth as butter!

Since there are no preservatives added I highly recommend to store in a dark, cool place while not using. I created this product with a metal tin so it's safe to take with you for the day! Can spoil if any water gets into jars so use clean dry hands

 

Non namo zinc oxide: this mineral powder physically works to provide effective protection from harmful UVA & UVB rays and has a great soothing effect. Non-nano with a mesh size of 325 nm meaning it is small enough to not be physically seen on skin but large enough it won't be absorbed into your blood stream, making this mineral sun balm VERY safe compared to chemical sunscreens. Cocoa powder is added so it doesn't leave a white cast.

 

Raspberry Seed Oil and Carrot Seed Oil: Both these oils are natural SPFs and are very soothing at the same time. Paired with the zinc oxide, they create great and effective sun protection. * Some doctors say pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid carrot seed oil*

 

Beef Tallow: Tallow shares simular biology to our own skin. When applied, it has the ability to mimic the fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in our skin and absorb deeply. Tallow is incredibly compatible with all skin types. It is non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) Can help reduce stretch marks, signs of aging and fine lines, help eczema + psoriasis, prevent scarring, sun burn relief and soothe acne. A true super food for your skin! Grass fed and finished beef tallow is especially packed full of fat-soluble vitamins A D K and E, antioxidants, peptides, & omega 3. It protects the skin's surface all day long from free radicals and increases elastin.

 

Local Beeswax: So excited to be using Wild Prairie Honey beeswax! Beeswax is another beautiful and 100% natural option for skincare and very unique! It forms a protective barrier on the skin helping to protect against environmental pollutants, free radicals and harsh weather. This protective barrier also helps lock in moisture to keep the skin hydrated and locks in my sun and bug repellent products so they last for hours, not needing to be reapplied so frequently. Beeswax also repels water making these products water and sweat friendly. It has natural anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties and is high vitamin a which boosts healthy skin cell production. A superfood for the skin made by bees and paired with all the amazing benefits of grass-fed and finished beef tallow!

 

 

Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is an amazing versatile carrier oil suitable for all skin types including mature skin, sensitive skin, oily skin and acne. It will revitalize your skin, offering deep hydration without clogging pores. Both tallow and jojoba oil mirror the sebum of human skin and work wonders together. Jojoba oil can help maintain skin's softness and suppleness, promoting a smooth and refined skin texture. It offers lightweight, non-greasy hydration and absorbs quickly. It is rich in vitamin E and omega 3.

 

Rosehip oil: Organic rosehip oil possesses brightening properties that even out your skin tone, leaving your complexion radiant and revitalized. It is rich in fatty acids. The retinoids in rosehip oil can help brighten your skin, prevent blackheads, and reduce inflammation. Rosehip oil also contains linoleic acid, a fatty acid that can aid acne prevention and shrink pimples. It may help treat eczema, an inflammation of the skin. The thinner consistency of rosehip oil ensures quick absorption, allowing its benefits to penetrate deep into the layers of your skin. Suitable for all skin types.

 

Olive squalene: Squalene is also close to human skin. It is able to penetrate the skin quickly and easily to hydrate, enhance elasticity and resilience. It boosts the skin’s water retention, leaving it looking and feeling hydrated, smoother, and softer to the touch without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. It helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, promotes skin cell rejuvenation, and protects against the harsh effects of UV radiation and pollution. Its non-comedogenic quality makes squalene suitable for all skin types, even oily complexions. Teamed up with rosehip, jojoba oil and tallow makes this recipe perfect for all skin types.
