Allergic reaction, random rash, or inflamed pimple?  The sweet combination of cardamom and beeswax helps calm reactive skin and bring things back into balance.
 
★ Anti-Ager Ointment
Dab a small amount on the outer corner of the eye area, expression lines, or cellulite to protect against free radical damage that accelerates sagging, dimpling, and wrinkling.

 

Ingredient Insight 

★ Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Suet Tallow
Our pride and joy.  Tallow was a vital beauty and wellness resource for ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. It’s a mostly saturated fat which means it's far more stable on your skin and less likely to oxidize.  Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, and choline, tallow rebuilds the skin from the outside in.  But we don’t use just any beef fat.  Grassfed suet is rendered from cattle that graze on wide-open pastures to gain up to 4X more skin-loving vitamins and minerals.  It's the cream of the crop.
 
★ Organic Cold-Pressed Jordanian Olive Oil Infused With Cardamom.
Fruit-bearing olive trees have been growing in Jordan for over 5,400 years.  Rich in vitamin E and polyphenols, olive oil nourishes the skin and provides ample protection against environmental free radical damage.  Its high oleic acid content compliments the palmitic and stearic acid found in grassfed tallow to satisfy even the most thirsty skin.
 
★ Organic Cardamom Pods From Sana'a Yemen.
One of the world’s oldest spices, cardamom foraging dates back almost 4,000 years when the Egyptians used it in medicines while the Greeks and Romans made aromatic oils.  Cardamom pods carry many anti-inflammatory and cell-supportive compounds, such as pinene, sabinene, myrcene, phellandrene, limonene, and terpinene.  They’re also packed with minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese that build up your skin’s natural defense mechanisms against damaging environmental stressors. 
 
★ 100% Pure Cosmetic Grade Beeswax.
Much like honey, beeswax has been used in skincare for millennia. Bees rely on this sticky stuff to build their elaborate hives and prevent deadly infection in the colony.  It shelters and heals the skin in a similar fashion.  Beeswax is an occlusive humectant, so it draws moisture from the environment and prevents water loss through the moisture barrier so the skin can face the elements without drying out.  Natural beeswax is a biologically active ingredient with impressive antioxidant properties that foster skin cells and softer, more nourished skin. It provides just enough hold to our balms without ever feeling too tacky.  And just like our honey, we get it straight from the beekeeper’s farm.
