Whipped Tallow Butter ‘Ritual’ w/ Tulsi and Sacred Lotus
Ultra-moisterising face, hand and body butter.
Crafted from hand-rendered grass-fed NZ tallow (triple extracted for those sensitive to its scent), nourishing jojoba oil, and infused with Holy Basil Tulsi and Sacred Lotus Flower, let this beautiful, sweet scented moisturizing cream become a part of your daily skincare ritual.
Usage Instructions: Using a clean finger or a spoon, take a small amount of the tallow butter and gently apply it to your warmed face in the morning (let absorb fully before applying makeup) or more generously in the evening. A lovely way to integrate this into your self-care ritual is by liberally massaging it onto your body once or twice weekly for a nourishing and softening skin treatment, or smaller amounts daily.
To use it as a makeup remover, gently warm a small quantity between your fingertips and massage it over closed eyes, face, or lips. Remove it using a cotton ball slightly dampened with warm water.
While applying the tallow butter on warm, damp skin (preferably post-bath or shower) enhances absorption, take care to prevent any water from entering the jar. As our product contains no preservatives, introduced water could potentially hasten its expiration.
Storage: Store in a cool environment or, if possible, in the refrigerator. Please use within 6 months of opening for optimal freshness.
Care Guide: Fluctuating temperatures might cause the product to melt and subsequently solidify, resulting in a grainy texture. To address this, you can gently melt it (using low heat or sunlight) then cool again for use as a balm. Alternatively, allow it to slightly soften and then whip with a clean whisk or fork to restore the whipped texture.
Ingredients: New Zealand grass-fed tallow, Jojoba Oil, Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Sacred Lotus Flower (Nelumbo nucifera)
100% natural ingredients. Essential oil, artificial fragrance and preservative free
Contraindications: It is advisable to exercise caution during pregnancy. While the potential anti-fertility actions of Tulsi have been noted through internal consumption, its effects have not been thoroughly examined when applied topically.
When introducing a new skincare regimen, it's recommended to conduct a patch test at least 24 hours before complete application. Additionally, be aware that some individuals may initially perceive tallow as greasy. To acclimate your skin, consider using a slightly smaller amount during the initial days of usage.

Tallow Benefits for Skincare:
Deep Hydration: Tallow's lipid content creates a dense and occlusive layer on the skin's surface, preventing water loss and enhancing the skin's ability to hold onto moisture, resulting in long-lasting hydration.
Barrier Repair: The fatty acids in tallow can aid in repairing a compromised skin barrier. By fortifying the barrier, tallow helps to prevent irritants from penetrating the skin, maintaining its health and moisture balance.
Soothing and Calming: Tallow contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm and soothe irritated or inflamed skin, making it particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Non-Comedogenic:
Holistic Approach: Tallow aligns with holistic skincare practices as it often doesn't require the addition of preservatives. Its naturally high content of saturated fats acts as a natural preservative, reducing the need for synthetic additives that can disrupt the skin's balance and contribute to a more natural skincare experience.
Eco-Holistic Resource Use: Tallow, embodying a nose-to-tail philosophy in sustainable industries, offers an eco-friendly skincare alternative that honours the entire animal by making use of the fat which often usually gets discarded.
Tulsi Benefits for Skincare:
Antioxidant Richness: Tulsi contains compounds like flavonoids and polyphenols that function as antioxidants, helping to neutralize free radicals and minimize oxidative stress on the skin.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The phytochemicals in Tulsi, such as eugenol, exhibit anti-inflammatory effects that can soothe skin irritations and reduce redness.
Cleansing and Clarifying: Tulsi's natural antibacterial properties contribute to its potential to cleanse the skin by addressing bacteria and impurities, which can assist in preventing breakouts.
Oil Regulation: The plant's compounds might help regulate sebum production, offering benefits to both oily and dry skin types by maintaining a balanced complexion.
Improved Blood Circulation: Through potential vasodilatory effects, Tulsi could support improved blood flow to the skin, contributing to a healthier appearance.
Wound Healing Support: Tulsi's antimicrobial qualities could aid in the healing process of minor skin wounds, potentially reducing the risk of infections.
Sacred Lotus Flower Benefits for Skincare:
Potential Anti-Aging Effects: The presence of certain compounds in Sacred Lotus Flower might offer support to collagen synthesis, aiding in skin elasticity and potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Skin Soothing: Compounds like alkaloids and flavonoids present in the flower could have soothing effects on the skin, making it potentially suitable for sensitive skin types.
Brightening Potential: Sacred Lotus Flower's potential antioxidant content might help to counteract dullness and uneven skin tone, contributing to a more radiant complexion.
Hydrating Properties: Although the flower itself doesn't contain emollients, when steeped or infused in a fat rich in fatty acids like tallow, it can enhance skin hydration by preventing moisture loss.
Skin Renewal: The flower's components might support skin cell turnover, aiding in the removal of dead skin cells and promoting a smoother skin texture.
Antioxidant Protection: Antioxidants within the flower extracts could potentially offer protection against environmental stressors, helping to maintain overall skin health.
