Key Ingredients for Glowing Skin:
1. Tallow: A Nourishing Base for Healthy, Hydrated Skin

- Mimics the skin’s natural oils, helping to retain moisture and keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant.
Tallow is an excellent ingredient for those looking to restore moisture and enhance skin texture. Its rich, nourishing qualities provide the foundation for a glowing skin appearance.
2. Castor Oil: A Deep Moisturiser and Skin Brightener
- Packed with ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid known for its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from the air into your skin to keep it plump and hydrated.

Jojoba oil helps maintain moisture balance while promoting smoother, more even-toned skin, making it a perfect ingredient for boosting your skin’s natural glow.

Beeswax doesn’t just protect the skin—it also contributes to a smoother texture, allowing light to reflect more evenly off the skin for a radiant appearance.

Frankincense resin isn’t just soothing; its regenerative properties help your skin maintain its youthful appearance, ensuring that your complexion stays vibrant and healthy.
