LIMITED FALL EDITION
2 oz - mostly home grown ingredients, so I have made the price as affordable as I can for you guys on this specific batch!
Ingredients: alberta grass fed and finished beef tallow (our own fat harvested in august!!) infused with homegrown sweetgrass + foraged wild sage, organic jojoba oil, rosehip oil, olive squalane, + vitamin e oil NOTE - honey is on the label but I chose to keep it out of this batch**
Another special infusion that ended up being a 30 day process - first collecting and drying the herbs, then carefully rendering the tallow - a slow, meticulous process to avoid beefy smell but preserve the nutrients, EXTRA special this batch with my own beef fat - then a 15 day infusion on low heat. Finally whipping and jarring!!
Fouin dodeur + L’aarbr saent in Michif, the language of the Métis. As an ode to my ancestry, I have used these special plants in this new creation. Wild sage harvested in our pastures and sweetgrass from my mom’s garden. Both are found in the western prairies, have similar cultural significance + medicinal properties. Used in smudging and in ceremony by different indigenous cultures to promote purification and positive energy. Sweetgrass has a fragrance of “honey vanilla over the scent of river water and black earth. The sweet smelling hair of Mother Earth.” - a perfect description by Robin Wall Kimmerer, an indigenous botanist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass.
Sage is a more minty, earthy smell that gives a clarifying aura. Both contain anti-inflammatory and microbial properties and have been used by indigenous communities for time immemorial as two of the four sacred medicines.
No essential oils added. Safe for everyone including newborns and breast feeding mothers.
* improved texture from last year* - infusing herbs into tallow is a delicate process. I have worked hard this year to improve texture on all recipes. Tallow and carrier oils are different particle sizes making it difficult to create a smooth even texture. Infusing herbs adds different particles which makes it even more difficult, but I'm quite proud of this batch! If you are unhappy at all I always offer refunds/replacements for faulty jars and one refund per client if my tallow is just not for you.
Available online only while supplies last!
