Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do local porch pickup in Tyler?
Yes! Use code "localpickup23" at checkout.
What does tallow smell like?
I describe it as earthy and buttery. We slow render it at minimum 3 times to try to get it as odorless as possible.
Does tallow make your skin greasy?
No, if it does it means you've used too much! A little bit of tallow goes a long way.
Why whole plants and not essential oils?
There has been new information out that explains how EO may not be as good for our health as previously thought. I started getting into whole plant herbalism and truly feel like it's God's gift to us, whole plants and not processed plants to create oils.
Do you use organic ingredients?
Yes! We have switched over to only buying organic herbs, oils and butters.
Who is tallow good for?
Every person's skin is different. A product can be great but your skin can still not like it for some reason. I recommend trying tallow out and seeing how your skin does with it! Make sure to incorporate exfoliating in your routine.
What is the shelf life of the products?
All our products if kept in a cool, dry location have a shelf life for 6 months, if not longer. Always use the product with dry and clean fingers. If you wish to prolong your product you can refrigerate it!
Do your products contain seed oils?
No! We are very passionate to be as low of PUFA's as possible. Dr. Ray Peat puts it best,"...in animal experiments, the presence of seed oils caused skin to wrinkle from UV exposure. Inflammation, cancer and other age-related changes are promoted by their breakdown products, and their conversion to prostaglandins."
Do you use fresh plants in your herbal medicine?
Yes! We grow many of our elixir herbs ourselves. We know fresh is much more potent than dried when it comes to pulling out the medicinal benefits. There are a some things we can't grow ourselves and in that case we might use dried.
