FRANKINCENSE & FLOWERS | Tallow Whip | No Essential Oils | 4 oz

This blend is a mender, healer, soother… truly ‘do everything’ mix of flowers & resins:

FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH RESINS - Resins in general are ‘nature’s bandaids’. Trees that omit resins, release them after being wounded and the resins help them heal. They are anti-inflammatory, strengthening, and antiseptic. Frankincense resin is additionally brightening and firming. Myrrh resin works synergistically with Frankincense resin.  

HIBISCUS - contains flavonoids, vitamin c and alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s).

HELICHRYSUM – This little yellow flower is as gentle as it is potent, reducing redness, swelling and irritation. It strengthens tissues and supports healing activity, minimizing the appearance of scars and broken capillaries.

CALENDULA - deeply restorative and healing to the skin, helpful for scarring and all forms of skin damage.

ROSE - protective and barrier strengthening properties. This Petal medicine is gentle and soothing to the skin, and is deeply hydrating and supportive to connective tissue. Roses reduce the appearance of fine lines and are potent free radical scavengers.

The scent is primarily Frankincense Resin with hints of calendula flower. 

4 oz Amber Glass Jar

____________

- Tallow is natural and every batch is different, therefore your whips may vary in color, texture & scent. This contains no preservatives or stabilizers, so if placed in a warm environment or in transit during warmer months it may melt, causing separation. This is normal and does not cause any change in the product, simply mix gently and store in a cool place. Additionally, if placed in a cool environment or in winter months it may be more firm - simply warm in hands and apply. 

- The whip may become grainy feeling. This is a natural reaction of the oils to cooler/fluctuating temperatures. No worries, the whip will melt when rubbed into the warmth of your skin.

- Shelf life: Stored in a cool, dark place your whip will stay fresh for about 9 months. You can refrigerate it to extend the shelf life.

**Tallow melts at 85 degrees. It is best stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerate in hot summer months. If it does melt in transit, simply mix the whip gently to reincorporate the fat and oil & place in the refrigerator for a bit to firm up. Melting does not change the effectiveness of the product. No refunds with be given if you receive the whip melted. I highly suggest getting the package from your mailbox asap once you receive the delivery notification**

Benefits of grass-fed Tallow:

Vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K are extremely nourishing for skin. This particular combination of beneficial vitamins is only found together in animal products. 

Alpha linoleic and linoleic acids in almost a perfect ratio of 1:1. These are also known as omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, and they maintain the structure and barrier function of skin. They are also helpful for anti inflammatory and immune responses in skin, including eczema and rosacea. 

Stearic acid and oleic acid are fatty acids that are found in the outer layer of our skin, and in our sebum. They are softening, moisturizer, regenerative, and anti inflammatory. Stearic acid helps to repair skin,  improve the flexibility of skin, improves skin’s barrier function. Oleic acid helps the various beneficial nutrients penetrate deeply into skin. 

Conjugated linoleic acid or CLA has powerful anti inflammatory properties, and is also antimicrobial. 

Palmitoleic acid is a very active antimicrobial in our skin. It is also one of the basic building blocks of our skin, but it decreases as we age. 

Palmitic acid helps improve the smoothness of skin, and helps with skin’s barrier function, and decreases as we age.
