Our soap and skincare products are never made with any of the above, making them a safe, and affordable option for your daily beauty routine.
By implementing non-toxic skincare products made from farm-grown ingredients, you’ll be able to create an easy to use routine that you can consistently keep.
This way, you will make the most of your skincare products.
Also, products made directly from the farm gives you the ability to know how they were grown and what production practices were used.
That means you won’t have to search the internet for information on whether or not the ingredients are safe for your skin.
Non-toxic skincare Examples using farm grown ingredients
If using lard or tallow sounds strange, I get it.
After all, lard is pig fat, tallow is fat from beef cattle.
So I put together the examples below to break it down for you so you can easily get started with your new non-toxic routine.
Example #1. Lard in soap
Animal fats like lard and tallow are often misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, they do not clog pores or make soap "heavy". In fact, lard produces a luxurious, creamy lather and offers mild moisturizing properties that keep the skin from drying out.
Lard soap is uniquely compatible with human cell structure, as our cell membranes contain similar saturated fats found in lard. This explains why soap made from animal fats provides nourishment that plant-based fats lack.
That means unlike some plant-based oils that can turn soap into a soggy mess, lard ensures a hard, long-lasting bar of soap.
Example #2. Raw Honey
The faster you can make the switch to non-toxic skincare, the easier it will be to stick to a consistent routine.
That’s where raw honey comes in.
Honey is a beloved skincare ingredient, cherished for its youth-enhancing, radiant-boosting, and skin-smoothing properties. Throughout history, the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and East Indians all incorporated honey into their beauty regimens. The magical blend of milk and honey was even hailed as the elixir of life, revealing Cleopatra's most treasured beauty hack.
For example:
Skincare products containing raw honey are highly beneficial for acne-prone skin, making them an excellent choice. Not only can you use pure raw honey as a simple DIY facial cleanser without stripping away your natural oils, but it also provides antimicrobial benefits to combat acne effectively.
The application of honey on the skin boosts circulation, encouraging a natural and healthy radiance that is sure to captivate. Furthermore, honey acts as a humectant, aiding in the absorption and retention of moisture, preventing dryness. Rich in natural antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, honey proves itself as a powerful ally in protecting, repairing, and preventing skin damage. Its calming effect on the skin further highlights its versatility. Notably, products infused with honey are particularly beneficial for sensitive skin and are even suitable for use on babies.
Revitalize your skincare routine with the wonders of honey and enjoy the remarkable benefits it brings to your skin.
The best way to implement this is by choosing any of our soaps or skincare products that include raw honey like our lip balm, all our soaps and body balms or butters.
Example #3. Goat milk
When it comes to selecting the ideal soap for your skin, the wide range of options available can make it challenging to make the right choice. Furthermore, it is important to note that not all commercially available soaps are genuine soap products. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), only a limited number of soaps on the market meet the criteria of being true soaps, while the majority of cleansers are actually synthetic detergent products.
Goat milk soap is a highly effective cleanser that offers numerous benefits for maintaining healthy, nourished, and moisturized skin. With its abundant fatty acids, this gentle cleanser supports the skin's natural barrier. Additionally, the soap's rich lactic acid content aids in exfoliating the skin, making it particularly advantageous for acne-prone individuals.
