Nourishing Skincare with an “Ancestral” Twist
You may have noticed it, if you haven’t already embraced it. It’s gotten easier to find skincare products made with simple, natural ingredients. Some brands have even given their products what you might call an ancient or ancestral twist.
This is the kind of skincare that’s based around incorporating ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows into your routine. While this might not be for everyone, depending on your lifestyle, if you’re open to the idea of tallow, it can be a wonderful addition to your routine.
What makes it “ancestral?” Tallow is a skincare ingredient that’s been used for centuries. There’s evidence it was used in ancient Egypt over 3000 years ago. Today, we know that high-quality, ethically sourced tallow can be delightfully moisturizing.
You can incorporate it into your skincare ritual in several ways. Certain kinds of deodorant can contain tallow from grass-fed cows. You can also find it in moisturizing creams and body butters.
Loving Your Skin, From Head to Toes
In the conversation of skincare, the face is often the star of the show. But the rest of you deserves TLC just as much as your face. Another mindful skincare practice to consider is loving your skin from your head to your toes.
This brings us back to body butter. There are many ways you can love every inch of your skin. However, an enchanting vanilla body butter made with tallow from grass-fed cows, along with mango and shea butters, can be downright indulgent.
And when it comes to your 2025 skincare ritual, indulgent is very much in.
