WHY TALLOW?
​
Our skin is our first line of defense against toxins in our environment. Exposure to microbes in our air and water, excessive UV rays, the microplastics in out clothing all cause the largest organ of our body to work overtime to prevent these threats from penetrating beyond this barrier. The skin needs to be replenished with the components that are depleted in this daily battle of protecting our bodies. Nourishing our skin with the nutrients it needs will not only give our complexion a healthy appearance, but it will also help the skin barrier remain strong against toxins.
Beef tallow is 98% bio-identical to our skin's natural lipid barrier, providing all of those collagen building nutrients you see promoted in anti-aging skin care products but without the chemicals, fillers, dyes, or lab-made nutrients containing skin loving vitamins A, D, E, and K and an almost perfect one-one ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, tallow innately posses powerful compounds that deeply moisturize, nourish & protect skin without clogging pores or causing irritation. Reparative and anti-inflammatory properties are also signature qualities of tallow, keeping at bay the natural decline of skin integrity that comes with age. Our hand-rendered tallow is the finest quality suet purchased from local NJ Farmers who are committed to regenerative farming practices, transparency, sustainability, and quality. The rendering process is low and slow, preserving all the vitamins and essential fatty acids. Small batch preparation ensures that only the purest, nutrient-dense tallow will result.
As awareness grows about the importance of ingredient purity and sustainability, tallow's return to the forefront of skincare represents a timeless acknowledgement of the power of nature's bounty to promote healthy, radiant skin.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT REGENERATIVE FARMS
Over the past few decades, nutrient levels in many plants, vegetables, and meats have declined as Big Ag continues to shift their focus on artificial growth. Synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides leech into plants compromising their nutritional integrity and therefore into our bodies upon consumption of application. 95% of our animals in the U.S. are raised in inhumane feed lots and given a diet of genetically modified grain. Chronic disease is now proven to be associated with the poison hidden in the foods we eat and the topical products we used to nourish our skin.
Industrial agricultural practices also affect our soil, water, and air. Contamination of rivers and ground water from runoffs affects our drinking water. Large scale monocropping practices deplete essential soil nutrients, starving our plants of vitamins and minerals that our bodies must consume in order to thrive, for they cannot synthesize these on their own.
By intentionally purchasing products whose ingredients are sourced from regenerative organic farms, we can begin to shift demand toward farming practices that restore soil health, protect biodiversity, and product nutrient dense foods that nourish our body, mind, and consequently our spirit.
WE AT EARTH & TALLOW ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT REGENERATIVE, ORGANIC FARMS; ESPECIAL OUR LOCAL NJ FARMS. Lets begin to turn the tide by purchasing with intentionality.
THE MISSING LINK IN MODERN MEDICINE
​
Essential oils and plant extracts are considered by many to be the missing link in modern medicine. They have been used medicinally to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Oils and extracts stimulate tissue and nerve regeneration. The aromatic properties of essential oils can balance mood, lift spirits, dispell negative emotions and create a balanced atmosphere.
The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and body is what makes them truly unique among natural therapeutic substances. The fragrance of some essential oils can be very stimulating- both psychologically and physically. The fragrance of some essential oils may be calming and sedating, helping to overcome anxiety or hyperactivity. On a physiological level, essential oils may stimulate immune function and regenerate damaged tissue.
Essential oils have a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and travel throughout the blood and tissue. Their lipid-soluable structure is very similar to the makeup of our cell membranes, and the molecules of essential oils are relatively small which enhances their ability to penetrate into the cells. When topically applied to the soft tissue these oils can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes, quickly dispersing their healing compounds
