Natural Ingredients for Skincare and Their Benefits Grassfed Buffalo Tallow — Rendered in house, this exceptionally nutritious fat is the basis of all our products. Be sure to read about the amazing benefits of our 100% grassfed tallow here. Emu Butter — This rich oil is high in Vitamins E and K and deeply absorbed in the skin. It’s also a powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Emu oil has a balanced fatty acid profile, lending it to many anti-aging properties. It is also hypoallergenic! Ostrich Butter - Ostrich oil also has a balanced fatty acid profile with many of the same attributes as emu oil, with the addition of Vitamin C. It is known for supporting faster cellular turnover and relieving burns and irritation. It is slightly richer than emu and the two together make a wonderful texture that absorbs rapidly. Non-nano Zinc Oxide — Not only is Zinc Oxide incredibly nourishing and anti inflammatory, it is one of the most effect forms of topical sun protection! Zinc Oxide acts a physical sunblock, meaning it is not absorbed into the skin but provides a protective barrier on top. Plus, it’s safe for ocean reefs! Read more about zinc oxide below. Direct Trade Coffee — One of our favorite skin-healing secrets. Caffeine tightens fine lines, evens tone, inhibits growth of cancer cells, prevents inflammation, reduces puffiness, dehydrates fatty cells, minimizes the appearance of cellulite and creates a smoothing effect, aids circulation while restricting blood vessels, thus reducing redness including rosacea, acts as a powerful antioxidant and moisturizer, calms irritated skin caused by sun damage. Coffee is really a powerhouse for your skin, and we source it from direct-trade sources that protect workers and the environment. *Note: We cannot make any claims regarding the SPF rating on this product. Zinc Oxide provides fabulous UV protection by reflecting and refracting the sun’s rays. We’re confident you will receive some sun protection from this product, approximately the equivalent of 15-20 SPF. More information about Zinc Oxide: When metallic element Zinc, which occurs naturally in air, water, and soil, is heated along with oxygen. This chemical reaction causes zinc to oxidize. Once both the elements have evaporated and the vapor phase has been condensed into crystals, the result is Zinc Oxide: a fine, white powder, which is known to transmit an electric charge that is reputed to exhibit numerous benefits for several body systems, including the initiation and support of protein synthesis and metabolic function as well as the production of enzymes. For these positive effects, Zinc Oxide has even been an additive in foods. It has particularly ideal results for skin health. When applied topically, Zinc Oxide remains on the skin’s surface, forming a coating that functions as a protective agent, notably against the harmful effects of UV radiation and environmental irritants. This makes it an ideal additive to skin care products, such as lotions, creams, and ointments, especially those meant for application before exposure to the elements as well as those meant to soothe or prevent itching, infections, and skin damage. The antiseptic and astringent properties of Zinc Oxide work together to help reduce the risk of bacterial infections by reducing the skin’s permeability and thereby obstructing the path of bacteria before they can adhere to or become internalized by the body. This allows for the faster healing of minor burns, superficial wounds, and warts. Zinc Oxide is commonly found in baby care products, such as diaper rash creams and powders, in soaps, in sunscreens, and in foot powders for its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin. It is an ingredient that is known to address the itching, burning, inflammation, redness, dryness, peeling and pain that is characteristic of skin complaints, such as bites, dandruff, acne, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, and rashes. Zinc Oxide helps to: Protect against damage caused by overexposure to broad spectrum ultraviolet rays (UVA/UVB) Maintain the appearance of a rejuvenated complexion by enhancing collagen synthesis and reducing the rate of developing signs of aging, such as fine lines and dark spots Regenerate connective tissue as well as new skin Moisturize and restore the health of chapped skin Diminish the appearance of enlarged pores Facilitate the healing of wounded or otherwise damaged skin Calm inflammation Soothe itching, burning, inflammation, redness, dryness, peeling and pain Balance the skin’s natural pigmentation Regulate the production of sebum and interstitial fluid Increase the number of other active and beneficial additives that penetrate the skin, when combined with other products that have rejuvenating effects Enable the healing of diaper rash by creating a protective barrier between the skin and the diaper Allow the oily substances in formulations to penetrate the skin Naturally facilitate the healing of scrapes, abrasions, burns, irritation, rashes, sores, and ulcers Allergy notice: Pregnant and nursing women as well as those with sensitive skin are especially advised not to use Zinc Oxide Raw Material without the medical advice of a physician. This product should always be stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, especially those under the age of 7. Those with allergies to the following should avoid the use of Zinc Oxide: Zinc, Mineral Oil, Wax, Petroleum Jelly, Cod Liver Oil, Dimethicone, Lanolin, or Parabens.

INGREDIENTS: Grassfed tallow infused with acerola*, camu camu*, rosehips*, white willow bark*, and plantain*, (for scented option: essential oils), astaxanthin, and Q-Max (TM) (INCI: C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ubiquinone). *organic Invigorate and revitalize your skin with the power of three synergistic antioxidants: Vitamin C, Coenzyme Q10, and Astaxanthin. Night time application allows your skin to heal itself while you sleep. But use it anytime you wish. We know how well tallow absorbs into human skin and that's why we're such fans of infusions for maximum benefit. We improved this balm by eliminating the fragile carrier oils in our previous formulation and by adding potent actives. When considering options for actives, retinoids were a natural candidate. But we quickly realized they were unnecessary because water buffalo tallow is naturally rich in retinol. Unlike in cattle, a buffalo's highly efficient rumen converts beta carotene consumed into its safest and most bioavailable form of retinol! (That's why buffalo fat is never yellow*.) We use both a mixture of water buffalo tallow and a softer beef tallow so that the basis of this balm is strictly tallow. This tallow is then infused with whole food sources of Vitamin C including acerola, camu camu, and rose hips. Plantain is a Native American secret for intensive skin repair (look out wrinkles!) Salicin in white willow bark helps exfoliate dead skin cells. With the addition of astaxanthin and CoQ10, Night Repair Balm is a potent treatment that works to reverse photo damage and nourish maturing skin. The antioxidants in this balm give it a rich color that ranges from light pink to tan. This tallow balm is available unscented or lightly scented with sleepy-time essential oils of clary sage and chamomile. Note: Our supply of water buffalo tallow is limited so this product may be unavailable at times. Buffalo Gal Grassfed Beauty has grown so much lately that we face some supply issues. When we run out, we run out! * A yellow hue in beef fat, just like in butter, is likely an indicator of the presence of beta carotene, a good thing! It is eventually converted to retinol in our bodies, but must first penetrate the skin, enter the bloodstream and be carried to the liver where this conversion occurs. Natural Ingredients for Skincare and Their Benefits Grassfed Buffalo Tallow — Rendered from our family’s herd of water buffalo, this exceptionally nutritious fat is the basis of all our products. Be sure to read about the amazing benefits of our 100% grassfed tallow here. We also use lower viscosity beef tallow in order to eliminate the need for carrier oils in this formulation. Organic Acerola — A powerful source of Vitamin C derived from cherries. Organic Camu Camu — Derived from a shrub, camu camu berries are a potent source of Vitamin C, amino acids and phytochemicals. Organic Rosehips — Taken from the part of the rose flower just below the petal, rose hips are also a powerful natural source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is naturally found in skin, mostly the epidermis and some in the dermis. Collagen collapse is a major cause of wrinkles. Vitamin C regulates the synthesis of collagen and it does this by hydroxylating collagen, which makes it more stable and improves the way it supports the epidermis. L-ascorbic acid is known for its instability, however, it is more stable in animal fats at a lower pH in this whole food form. Organic White Willow Bark — White willow bark is a natural form of salicylic acid, which is a familiar component of many acne treatment products thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects. Salicin can slow signs of aging by reducing the appearance of pores, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Salicin is exfoliating and acne-reducing. It also contains polyphenols that contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to help protect against sun damage and premature aging. Organic Plantain — This Native American remedy for rapid skin repair is excellent for anti-wrinkling and a good source of vitamin C. Astaxanthin - A rare, deep red-colored carotenoid found in micro-algae, is perhaps the most powerful antioxidant available in nature. On its own has a profound ability to protect skin against UV damage, dryness, and premature wrinkles. In comparison, astaxanthin is 800 times stronger than CoQ10 and 6000 times stronger than Vitamin C, and together the three create a broad spectrum of oxidative stress reducing elements. Q-Max (TM) - Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble vitamin-like substance present in every cell of the human body. It is vital to the production of energy within cells. It is also a very powerful antioxidant or free radical scavenger. Topically applied, CoQ10 can penetrate the cell layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and may lessen the depth of wrinkles due to photo aging, as well as epithelial cell turnover. Plus, it increases the effectiveness of vitamin C! We chose this trademarked form of CoQ10 because of its stability and credibility in the natural skincare industry. Essential Oil Blend - Clary Sage, German Chamomile, and Roman Chamomile, chosen for their skin calming and sleep promoting benefits. Chamomile essential oil also contains alpha bisabolol, known for its tissue regeneration booster properties and proven to be topically effective in repairing epidermal sun damage!

Ingredients for Natural Skincare: Saponified grassfed tallow, organic virgin olive oil, and organic virgin castor oil. Calendula Flower includes and infusion and addition of organic calendula flowers. Charcoal & Green Clay includes the addition of activated charcoal and French Green Clay. About Soap Making Curious about the chemistry behind soap making? "Saponification" refers to the chemical reaction between fat and lye that results in the formation of glycerin and soap. Saponification occurs when, first, three molecules of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are dissolved in water (H2O) and are split apart, which results in three sodium ions (Na) and three hydroxyl groups (OH). Second, a triglyceride (fat) molecule (C3H5(COOR)3) is split apart through hydrolysis, which results in a free glycerol (C3H5) and three fatty acid tails (COOR). Third, the hydroxyl groups all bond to the free glycerol to form a molecule of glycerin. Fourth, the three fatty acids each bond with one of the three sodium ions to form three molecules of soap (3NaCOOR). When the ingredients have completed the saponification process, one molecule of glycerin will be present for each three molecules of soap; no molecules of lye (sodium hydroxide) remain in the soap—they have all been split apart and used to form the soap molecules and glycerin.
