INGREDIENTS: Pasture raised Grass-Finished Tallow, Pasture-Raised Emu Oil - AEA Certified, Organic Madagascar Vanilla Co2 Extract, Local Raw Unheated & Unfiltered Honey.
Mike and I have been wanting to incorporate high-quality raw honey straight from the farm and real vanilla extract into a cream for a long time due to its humectant benefits and soothing properties. We are so excited to finally announce our Tallow + Honey Cream - naturally scented with organic Madagascar Vanilla CO2 extract.
Made with just four powerhouse ingredients, this luxurious cream delivers deep hydration and gentle nourishment. Grass-finished tallow provides rich, skin-compatible nutrients, while raw honey acts as a natural humectant to lock in moisture. Vanilla’s antioxidants and calming properties protect and soothe, making this cream perfect for even the most sensitive or reactive skin. Free from unnecessary fillers or synthetic ingredients, this cream is a true testament to simplicity and purity.
How to Apply Tallow + Honey + Emu Oil Cream for Best Absorption
On dry skin, this cream can feel richer and take longer to absorb. But on damp skin, it glides on effortlessly, soaks in faster, and leaves your skin deeply hydrated without feeling greasy.
How to Use:
We highly recommend applying the Tallow + Honey cream when your skin is damp—after a bath, shower, or simply after washing your face. The honey and emu oil penetrates better when the skin has moisture to help draw them in, allowing for deeper hydration and nourishment.
How to Apply:
- Cleanse first and leave your skin slightly damp (not dripping).
- Take a small amount and massage it in—damp skin helps it spread easily and absorb better.
-
Let it absorb for a few minutes.
What is Organic Vanilla Co2 extract?
Unlike "vanilla essential oil," which cannot be naturally produced, our cream is infused with real organic Madagascar Vanilla CO2 extract, sourced from real vanilla beans gown in madagascar. Products labeled as "vanilla essential oil" are often synthetic or mislabeled, made from lab-created vanillin or synthetic fragrance, which mimic the scent of vanilla but lack its natural complexity and skin benefits.
Instead, our Vanilla CO2 extract used in this cream is created using a specialized process that gently captures the full essence of the vanilla bean. This method preserves its natural antioxidants, soothing properties, and warm, sweet, honey-like aroma in its purest form. By using this premium extract, we ensure that you experience the real (and full!) benefits of authentic vanilla.
BREAKDOWN OF OUR FOUR SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:
1. Pasture-Raised Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Tallow
At Fancy Farm, we source our tallow exclusively from small, family-owned farms in the USA, primarily in Lancaster, PA, and the Midwest. These farms follow sustainable and humane practices, ensuring the highest quality product that’s free from preservatives, artificial additives, and harmful chemicals.
Our commitment to using grass-finished tallow ensures a more nutritious and beneficial fatty acid profile. Grass-finished tallow contains elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammation and deeply moisturize the skin, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a potent compound with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that promote skin healing and repair.
Skin Benefits of Tallow:
- Skin-Identical Lipids: The molecular structure of tallow closely resembles human sebum, allowing it to absorb easily and replenish the skin’s natural oils without clogging pores. This helps to restore balance to both dry and oily skin types.
- Vitamin-Rich: Grass-finished tallow is packed with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health. These vitamins support cell regeneration, promote collagen production, and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Deep Hydration: The unique combination of saturated and monounsaturated fats in tallow delivers long-lasting hydration, locking in moisture while creating a breathable barrier that protects the skin from environmental stressors.
- Antioxidant Support: The naturally occurring antioxidants in tallow help combat free radicals, preventing premature aging and enhancing skin resilience.
2. Pasture Raised Emu Oil - AEA Certified
We source our emu oil from a small, family-owned farm on the East Coast, where Emu's are raised naturally on open pastures, free from hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. Our emu oil is AEA Certified, ensuring it meets the highest industry standards for purity, safety, and effectiveness. This certification guarantees you’re getting a superior product, rich in skin-loving nutrients.
Emu oil is celebrated for its unique ability to deeply penetrate the skin, delivering essential fatty acids directly into the dermal layers. These fatty acids are vital for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, locking in moisture, and soothing inflammation. It’s particularly beneficial for addressing conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry or irritated skin.
When combined with Tallow, emu oil enhances absorption, ensuring that the rich vitamins and nutrients in tallow penetrate deeply for long-lasting hydration and repair. Paired with Raw Honey and Vanilla, emu oil works synergistically to lock in the honey’s humectant moisture while providing an anti-inflammatory boost.
3. Raw Local Unheated & Unfiltered Honey
We believe in preserving the purity of our ingredients. That’s why we add raw local honey to our Tallow only after it has cooled down, ensuring the honey’s natural enzymes and nutrients remain fully intact!
Skin Benefits of Raw Honey
-
Natural Humectant: Raw honey is one of nature’s most effective humectants, meaning it has the unique ability to attract and retain moisture. This property is due to its high sugar content and natural compounds that create a hygroscopic effect, drawing water from the air into the skin. Raw honey creates a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Wound Healing: Studies have shown that raw honey can accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring through its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Its natural enzymes, like glucose oxidase, play a key role in keeping wounds clean by breaking down impurities and supporting the skin's natural healing process.
- Promotes Tissue Regeneration: Raw honey stimulates the production of new, healthy skin cells. Its anti-inflammatory effects reduce swelling and redness, while its soothing nature provides relief from discomfort. This makes raw honey an exceptional natural remedy for minor cuts, burns, and irritations, helping the skin heal faster and with less visible scarring.
- Gentle Exfoliation: Raw honey contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates, leaving skin smooth and radiant over time.
4.Organic Madagascar Vanilla CO2 Extract
Our Vanilla CO2 Extract is derived from vanilla beans grown in the nutrient-rich soils of Madagascar—renowned for producing the highest quality vanilla in the world. Not only does vanilla have a rich, sweet, and soothing scent, but it also provides many benefits for the skin!
Skin-Loving Properties:
-
Rich in Antioxidants: Vanilla is packed with powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental damage and supporting a healthy, youthful complexion.
-
Soothing and Calming: Vanillin, the key compound in vanilla, is packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that make it a powerhouse for soothing and protecting the skin. Studies have shown that vanillin helps reduce inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory markers, which can calm redness, irritation, and discomfort.
-
Locks in Moisture: Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) occurs when water evaporates from the skin, leading to dryness and a weakened barrier. Vanilla helps reduce TEWL by supporting the skin’s natural barrier function with its polyphenols and plant-derived sugars. These compounds help lock in moisture and boost hydration for a healthier more radiant complexion!
How is Vanilla CO2 Extract Made?
Vanilla CO2 extract is created using a cutting-edge process that utilizes pressurized carbon dioxide at extremely low temperatures to gently draw out the beneficial compounds from vanilla beans. This innovative method ensures that no carbon dioxide remains in the final product, leaving only the pure, natural essence of the vanilla bean.
By operating at low temperatures, CO2 extraction preserves the delicate bioactive elements, including vanillin and antioxidants, which can be lost in traditional extraction methods. The result is an exceptionally pure, potent, and true-to-nature extract!
PACKAGING: 2oz amber glass jar, designed to preserve the purity and quality of our handcrafted cream.
SCENT: Naturally scented from organic Madagascar vanilla CO2 extract, offering a warm, sweet, and delicately honey-like aroma.
TEXTURE: A smooth, creamy, balm-like texture that melts effortlessly into the skin, leaving it deeply hydrated and nourished. We highly recommend applying the cream when the skin is damp so it applies like silk and absorbs even better!
SHELF LIFE: 12 months at room temperature and well over a year when refrigerated.
