I know what you're thinking... Huh? Fat on my face? We were skeptical at first too! But hear us out.

Applying healthy animal fats to the skin is no new concept. Animal-based skincare dates all the way back to the 4th Century BC! Throughout history, the Egyptians, Babylonians, Australian Aborigines, Inuit, Native Americans, and the Himba and Hamer tribes all used/use animal fats to nourish the skin. Even today, doctors frequently prescribe Lanolin (or sheep fat) to soothe problematic and severely dry skin.

Our ancestors didn't need textbooks or science to be convinced Tallow works! They followed tradition, intuition, and instinct. Only now, we have the science to show why this single ingredient is so incredibly effective.Our skin produces this stuff called "sebum."

Sebum is an oily waxy substance primarily made up of, you guessed it.. fat! This fat, or sebum, is what our body uses to keep our skin barrier healthy, hydrated, and youthful-looking. 

Tallow is the closest substance on earth to the sebum our skin naturally produces, it's practically bio-identical. In fact, the word "sebum" in Latin literally means "tallow" in English! This close resemblance enables Tallow to easily absorb into the skin and work with our oil's on a cellular level. Unlike modern plant-based/petroleum based moisturizers that, most often than not, create a thin layer over the skin barrier which risks smothering the skin.

Tallow gets even better. This super fat is loaded with fat-soluble vitamins and beneficial fatty acids (BFA). Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all found in Tallow. These vitamins repair and rejuvenate the skin. The wide array of BFA in tallow has proven anti-aging benefits, fights redness, and soothes inflammation. As we age, we lose up to 50% of the naturally occurring BFA's found in our skin!

Last but not least, Tallow is extremely shelf-stable. Without the help of harmful preservatives, parabens, or synthetic lab-made chemicals. This makes tallow a truly unique, safe, and all-natural substance. Gentle enough to use on babies and newborns. An excellent choice for problematic skin (rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis) or just as one heck of a daily moisturizer. Tallow is one ingredient, but packs a huge punch of skin nourishment!

At Fancy Farm, we're all about learning from our ancestors' intuition and wisdom. Simply put, Tallow is our ancestor's best-kept secret.

Don’t get it twisted! This isn’t “Rosehip” oil (Rose Oil’s much cheaper cousin and commonly used in skincare for its affordability.) The Bulgarian Rose Oil used in our products is the real deal, and comes directly from Bulgaria. Home for producing the highest quality Rose Oil that money can buy!
