For the last several decades, “plant-based” has been a huge buzzword in the natural skincare world and the wellness community. • With its rise has come the downfall of animal-based products. • Animal-based products are now left out, undervalued, and even vilified in the clean beauty industry. • Don’t get me wrong – plants are incredible. • They have extraordinary healing + medicinal benefits. • This is why we use so many of them in our products as well! • But the unique power of animal-based ingredients can’t be understated. • Animal-based products contain specific benefits that we can’t access through plants. • In the same way animal-based products provide a rich source of bioavailable nutrients in your diet (aka easily absorbed + used by the body), the same is true for your skin. • Animals provide a much more compatible framework for human nutrition based on their similar design. • Our ancestors believed in a nose-to-tail philosophy when using animal products. • Every part of the animal had a use. • This is how we show honor and respect for the lives of the animals. • Plants and animals play different roles innourishing our gut with nutrients, in the same principle can be applied to your skin microbiome! • Animal-based products fill that nutrient gap for your skin too. • Animal-based products from well-raised animals have been used in skincare for thousands of years. • And with proven results! • If you haven’t tried a fat or milk based product, I’d encourage you to do so and give your skin what it’s been missing! - - - #farm #farmfresh #farmraised #soap #soaper #soapcutting #tallow #tallowsoap #goatmilk #goatmilksoap #naturalskincare #skincareproducts #naturalskincareproducts #toxinfree #sustainable #homestead #homesteader #homesteadersofinstagram #herbalist #animalbased #prairiestyle #cowboystuff #cowgirl
