Grass-fed Beef Tallow Aloe

The Ingredients

Beef Tallow: The base of our balm is rendered down beef fat, also know as tallow. We use grass-fed beef tallow that is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins help nourish the skin. For this reason, tallow has been used throughout history as a natural moisturizer. In the modern world however, not all tallow is created equally. Tallow from grain-fed cows doesn’t have nearly the same amount of vitamins that grass-fed tallow has. This is also why we render our tallow at low temperatures. Rendering at high temperatures will lead to the tallow losing some of it’s nutritional benefits. This will also happen if you “purify” your tallow to remove the odor. Yes, the slight odor will be gone, but so will some of it’s precious nutrients!

Aloe Vera Gel: Instead of olive oil, this product is made with aloe vera gel. The original intent was to pair the benefits from aloe with those from tallow to make a sunburn relief balm. Instead we’ve found people enjoy this as their everyday skin moisturizer, though it’s still great for sunburns too!

Scent: Currently, we only offer our tallow aloe in unscented. This means there is no additional scent added, though there is a slight scent from the aloe.

The Packaging

At Old Brucan we try to go above and beyond with our packaging. We use glass jars with metal lids that ensure you can reuse or recycle them. This also keeps your product from touching plastic that might leach microplastics into it. Our labels are 100% paper that we cut to size and adhere to the jars with handmade, all natural glue. We use durable cardboard boxes that allow us to not use plastic bubble wrap. They are even strong enough to stand on without crushing! We hand stamp our info on these with non-toxic ink. All of this is done to minimize the amount of plastic we use as a company.
