Why we built it on tallow.
A short note on lipid profiles, ancestral skin-care, and what petrochemicals replaced.
Before lotions, body balms were tallow. Animal fat, rendered down and melted into a usable form. The shift away from tallow in the 20th century wasn't because tallow was bad — it was because petroleum was cheap.
Tallow's lipid profile is the closest thing to human sebum in the natural world. It absorbs into skin the way the body expects fat to behave. We built the line around it for that reason.
