New Tallow Products & Other Info!

* I will be out of town. If you order after today, Friday June 6th, it will not be fulfilled until June 18th*

Lately, I have been doing a lot of research about fragrance, food, tallow, herbs and recipes. The past ten years I have done a tremendous amount of research into various topics. After so much research, one of the benefits is I am able to have a broader perspective. Unfortunately, the big picture is that toxins are so wide spread and are in every “luxury” and low cost skin brand, make-up, sunscreen, soap, shampoo, dental floss, mouth wash and on and on. I know most of you are aware of this. It is quite frustrating and overwhelming. My research and intuition have led me to my niche. Nothing toxic in my products and this includes fragrance.

I want to say thank you for the great response to Mag Nificent. I recently acquired a bunch of great books from my neighbor. “The Trace Elements and Man” written in 1973, was one of them. This book talks about the importance of our trace minerals which includes boron. Trace minerals are pretty much eliminated in the processing of food and by toxins in everything from our water, food, air to our clothing. I was taking boron orally. Boron is great way to help your body detox heavy metals that lodge in your gut and also assists with the absorption of magnesium. Mag Nificent is my own creation and came about with the intention of getting people to take a larger amount of magnesium, because we need it. Mag Nificent can be used alone or in combination with Mag Butter or Mag Spray. I do like putting it on my knees, neck, lower back and it is also great for PMS pain, on the abdomen. I use all of my products daily.

I am happy to announce I am launching a Tallow line. Tallow is the render of the fat (suet) that is around the kidney of a cow. Over the past 2 years, I have had major skin issues with my face. (Pics below) Dry patches that scabbed over and never healed and looked awful. Luckily, I have just been a hermit, so I did not care that much, but It did become annoying because it is my face. I did not want to go to a dermatologist and be put on some synthetic crap. I came across some videos of tallow helping people with really bad acne, so I thought I would give it a try. Acne is not what I had and I am still not sure what it was because I never saw anyone about it. In six days, my face completely healed! I was blown away that I made a product that completely cleared up my skin. This was so exciting and as exciting as finding magnesium! The group of pics below, of the side of my face were taken during a 6 day period. Tallow healed my skin in that time and the pic below that is from over a year ago. I think it is very obvious my skin needed attention. I did try just castor and coconut oil. I tried my mag sprays and the closest thing that came to healing my face was a spray I made for hair when I first launched which was clove, rosemary, peppermint infused water with some castor oil. This is why I decided to infuse all of those in my recipe. It worked wonders for me and so I did not change the recipe. The Tallow Face also has a small amount of castor oil and organic honey. My skin feels very smooth and like a babies bottom. No joke. I have had some friends try my new product and I have gotten great feedback! I have the “Tallow Face” in my store and will also be adding a smaller size of 2 1/2 ounces, when I return from my trip. I use a dry render method with the suet I obtained from a ranch. The cattle are grass fed/finished, not vaccinated and no antibiotics used.

Our skin health is not linked to fragrance, nor is our hair or underarms. I have come to the realization that almost all fragrance is toxic, including essential oils. The new body spray commercials, telling people to spray all over their sensitive body parts is infuriating. There is absolutely an agenda to keep us filled with toxins so we are constantly in dis ease. These toxins wreak havoc on our health. Natural pheromones are what attract you to others and we are also not supposed to smell like cotton candy, apple pie or a pine forest. We all have a natural scent. Low magnesium also causes bad body odor. My new deodorant is using magnesium hydroxide, but also just using magnesium will lessen your body odor.

Sephora's clean section, is of their own doing. It may be paraben free and all of those other great words we look for but there is ZERO regulation on skin care and make up as well as vitamins and supplements. What the clean section of Sephora doesn’t tell you is that mass produced products have preservative and those are toxic. They knew this when they started preserving food long ago. This is totally done by design. Clove was used in Egypt to preserve many foods. All that is needed to be healthy and flourish exists here in nature. “Real Alex Clark” YouTube channel has some really great info about many topics relation to toxins in food, make-up and skin care.

I am not afraid to change my mind, when given new information. Keeping an open mind is very important. We have been heavily programmed and lied to for a long time. Thankfully, many are realizing this. It is much easier for someone making a product to just dump some EO in there and let me tell you, it is not a few drops, it is way more than that. I do not blame handcrafters for not knowing about this. I have shared the book “Essentially Deadly” with many crafters and they are so quick to get defensive. I was stoked when I found the book, to know the truth about it. It is when a person is given the info and does not want to know, because of ego, which is your beliefs. Going against your ego can create cognitive dissonance. I found a study done, which is one of the only places you can find good info anymore. They study was about the explosion of lavender essential oils in the 90’s. This was put into many products and led to a huge increase in people having skin issues of all kinds, but here we are, after these studies were done and essential oil is an even bigger market than ever. Imagine all the money big pharma makes prescribing synthetic crap because of people reacting to EO. 27 Billion dollar market a year, owned by corporate American and if it the essential oil is handmade, it is still made in a distillery and is toxic because it creates VOC’s, which are volatile organic compounds and that is also why all my sprays are now cold infused. It takes a lot more than a few drops of EO, to make shea butter smell and forget about tallow. If you are looking for tallow that is gonna smell like a lavender field, my tallow may not be your product. I spend 15 hours infusing my tallow with herbs on warm heat. All of my tallow is infused with different combinations of whole herbs. If you want something made with integrity and love and no toxins, then my products are for you.

I will be creating a Tallow/castor oil Magnesium Butter, tallow/coconut/magnesium hydroxide deodorant, tallow/coconut oil/carrot seed oil/zinc sunscreen, tallow, coconut, honey, beet root lip care.

I was the person in the store that smelled all my shampoos and soaps and deodorants and was addicted to fragrance. I had every color triangle of Liz Claiborne, (if you know, you know). I used so much essential oil as well! Smell was very important to me. Our sense of smell is closest linked to memory. I think that is the point of it all. The cinnamon spice candle at the holidays that gives you a warm feeling, but really it’s just destroying your brain. I can only laugh at this point, because I have cried enough tears, during my years of research.

Full transparency of my ingredients is very important. I check out other magnesium products claiming to be handmade. I call them. Many can not source the ingredients or even tell you the brand they use. If you are buying a hand made anything, full transparency should be a given, in my opinion. There are a plethora of cosmetic grade oils and butters and ingredients of all kinds, that means toxic. Cosmetic grade means, not oral. What is the point? What is going on your skin is going in you body. It is all the same.

There is a lot going on these days. One thing we do have control of is what we consume. This is a great time to support your local ranchers and farmers. The amount of money spent on food that has zero nutritional value and is shortening your life would be much better spent on quality whole foods, ethically raised and grown.

Thanks for your time! Have a wonderful summer!
