Organic - why is that important?
Rewilding Skincare is made with organic tallow which is free from pesticides and herbicides. When an animal or human body is exposed to fat-soluble toxins, such as certain pesticides or industrial chemicals, it moves them to fat cells to sequester them away from the bloodstream and other vital organs. Storing these chemicals in fat is a survival mechanism to reduce their immediate impact. But these toxins are not easily metabolized or excreted, and are thus transferred up the food chain. Whether we ingest or apply animal-based products topically, both end up in our bloodstream. Your skin is your largest organ and 60% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream. This is why ORGANIC matters.
Additionally, opting for organic supports soil health, biodiversity, and reduces chemical runoff. We are spraying this place with powerful antibiotics, like glyphosate. That’s anti-life. We are covering our beautiful planet with an invisible layer of dust that is making its way into our bodies. Let’s stop spraying Mother Earth so she can breathe.
Silent revolution - There's a growing movement towards tallow skincare for various reasons, from a trend towards sustainability, provenance and a nose-to-tail approach, to the rise of cottage-core and homesteading, a quiet rebellion driving the return to a more traditional lifestyle, and of course, the clean beauty mega-trend. In its simplest form, in an increasingly complex world, tallow skincare represents a return to a simpler way of living.
How to Use
A little goes a long way. Tallow is firmer in colder climates and softer in warmer climates. On colder days rub a small amount between your fingers or palms before applying to your skin. On really warm days, you might like to pop your jar in the fridge. Apply to your skin for protection, hydration and healing.
